Those silly Italians already selling the PS3

March 22nd, 2007

Well if you are over in Italy and want to pick up a Playstation3 before launch date you will probably have some good luck.  Some retailers began selling the systems yesterday, two days before the street launch date.

Retailer Darty was the first ot break the street date, and once they did the flood gates opened.  GameStop says they are trying not to sell any of their consoles until the street date so they won’t be charged any fines but says they might be forced to sell early to make sure they can sell their consoles.

If this happened in the US on a big launch, I would expect some hefty fines for all the retailers that did break the street date. Will this happen over in Italy?  Time will only tell I suppose.
