    PlayStation 3 will launch in UK on March 23, Sony has confirmed, for a retail price of £425.

    One million consoles will be shipped to Europe for launch, and over 30 titles are expected to release within the launch period, including Resistance: Fall of Man, MotorStorm and Ridge Racer 7. Check below for the full list of expected games.

    Sony will also make a number of games available exclusively for downloading via the PLAYSTATION Network, including Tekken: Dark Resurrection and Gran Turismo HD Concept.

    Initially, only the 60GB version will be available, which Sony says is in response to "retail and consumer demand". The 20GB version is expected to be made available later this year.

    Ray Maguire, SVP and MD of SCEUK said, "Following the hugely successful launches of PS3 in Japan and North America, we are absolutely delighted to be able to bring significant numbers of PS3 to the UK.

    "To be able to launch with over 30 titles including retail versions and great downloadable gaming experiences across every genre shows that this is our strongest launch line-up in the history of PlayStation, and is what PlayStation fans in the UK have been crying out for."

    So there you have it. Better be ready to break the bank.

    I can, that's really overpriced compared to the us!
    It's an even greater price in Ireland..like $50 more.
