PlayStation3 Goes On Sale: I may be a bit twiddled from two bottles of particularly nice French red wine, but even I can see that this is one of the most useless, preposterous and bullshit-filled news stories ever. A UK games site has decided to start taking pre-orders for PS3 units, just as hideous amounts of sites did when the PS2 and Xbox360 were on the horizon. This is not “going on sale”, this is pre-ordering, a now-common event in the games console world. Christ, I pre-ordered my PlayStation2 6 years ago, how is this news?

The website says the games shipped with the console may change due to availability.

That’s because the games, never mind the console, aren’t even available for public sale yet. The BBC, yet again, disappoints me in their video games coverage. Why don’t they leave it to professionals such as EDGE or 1UP.com?

Bollocks, utter bollocks.
