The next generation consoles are on offer as "pre-orders" to Europeans for 550 Euro ($1,020) at online shop, play.com.
The website says that because of an expected European shortage, it cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas reports BBC

According to technology site theinquirer, Sony's PS3 (PlayStation 3)'s hardware is slow and broken.
Cell memory access appears to be broken, RSX has half the triangle setup rate of the ATI chip in XBox360, and the true horror, Big Momma's House 2 and a Queen Latifa movie.
For some reason , I think theinquirer hates Sony. I have yet to see a favorable PS3 story on that site.

In an interview with PC Watch, a japanese software/ hardware news site , Ken Kutaragi of Sony Japan revealed plans for a Higher End PS3 in the future.
Here are some other bits from Interview
- games on PS3 are running on the PS3 with "basic configuration"
- software will have different relationship with hardware (including non-gaming applications) in the future
- software module will be made inside the PS3 (such as OS?) so PS3 will have no problem adopting new hardware parts (this doesn't mean you can upgrade but just different versions of PS3)
- thus two models of PS3 are actually two different configurations, there might be other configurations in future, such as: enhanced version of CELL, more memory etc. The higher-end model of PS3 might be released in future.
