    Sony has put up a new official european site for PS3 - it's pretty cool, you can check it out here:

    http://eu.playstation.com/ps3/

    They've commissioned a series of short films about PS3 that are going to be on the site too - the first couple are already on the site. Apparently these will be shown in cinemas also. The site also shows the launch marketing tagline, "This is Living". There's not much new on the games on the site, unfortunately - all the screenshots and media are old.

    Kind of funny to see Sony rolling out advertising already, but there's seemingly still no word on when official preorders will be taken :rolleyes: I presume that's still the case, anyway? Last I asked in game they still weren't taking them.

    Site is absolutely awful in terms of navigation and speed, suppose it looks nice enough.

    Actually watching the videos is a nightmare though with no direct link, no progress bar and what seems to be a really slow transfer rate.

    Once I actually watched the video though(the 'real-time' one) I thought it was quite good at getting the message accross. It was a little bit 'buzzwordy', but the narrator did sum up the sort of emphasis I expect from next-gen hardware, rather than being all graphics graphics graphics. I hope their dev studios have the same priorities as their marketing department!

    Yeah, it's quite clever I think. And yeah, the site is slow as a dog. I think maybe they got more traffic than they were initially expecting. If it helps, here's direct links to the first two films:

    'Realtime' (HD version): http://ps3.eu/flash/mediapool/ps3stories_realtime/ps3stories_realtime_en.mov
    'Storage' (Flash version): http://ps3.eu/flash/mediapool/ps3stories_storage/ps3stories_storage_en.flv
