In Poland release is rather quiet. Price is very high for an average guy (actually PS3 costs around average month salary here ~800$). I talked to shop assistant in Media Markt and she told me that they got 30 units (first shipment) and they already sold 6 units (9.30 a.m to 1 p.m). Same situation in many shops. Many stores offers installment sale (0%) and most people buy PS3 in that option because of high price. All retailers I've talked to are satisfied as for now. Edit: I think 30% - 50% of all shipment will be sold till the end of march.
