Everything you need to know about the PS3 launch
Not long now. It’s just under six hours until PlayStation 3 goes on sale in the UK (well, if you’re camped out at Virgin Megastore anyway). Europe is the last place to get Sony’s new console, so we’ll finally be able to see how it shapes up against Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii.
