when will the ps3 official launch in the uk

Cut and pasted from a similar question asked earlier:

The PS3 is scheduled for release in Japan on November 11th and in the US on November 17th. Europe, UK included, isn't getting it until March 07.
Japan will initially only have 100,000 units and the US 400,000, though I read yesterday that the Japan numbers are to be cut by 20%.
I think Sony are having trouble sourcing components for the Bluray drive hence the very small numbers. On launch day of the PS2 Japan had 900,000 to go around and the US 400,000.
It looks likes Sony now considers the US a more important market than Japan. Europeans once again are at the back of the queue.

Nobody really knows!!, the press reports march 2007.

I've heard reports of May 2007, either way we won't really know for sure till after Christmas.

PS3 is coming out in March 07! Better booking them in a GAME shop or Gamestation as they'll probably sell like hot cakes!
