    PC version looks like an old, black and white movie with no perception of depth due to the lack of highlights and shadows. While the gameplay during the daytime is bearable, the absence of shadows and lights becomes a real issue during the night:

    Dear PlayStation fan,

     

    The PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system is set to unleash a brilliant, high-definition entertainment experience when it's released in Europe on March 23. Whether you're into gaming, Blu-ray movies, music or online services, the PlayStation 3 will change your digital lifestyle. You can pre-order yours at Amazon.co.uk from tomorrow, February 15, during business hours (9am - 5pm GMT). We will stop taking pre-orders once we've pre-sold all the consoles Sony have allocated to us for release day. Order early to avoid disappointment! If you're not lucky enough to get hold of a PlayStation 3 in our initial pre-order window, we'll email you when we get more stock in.

     

    UK customers: if you choose First Class delivery, your console should be dispatched in time for delivery on March 23. We will work closely with our delivery partners to ensure, as far as possible, delivery by March 23. However, this cannot be guaranteed as some delays may occur which are outside our control. If you choose Free Super Saver Delivery, your console will be delivered 2-5 business days later than March 23.

     

    International customers: we will work closely with our delivery partners to ensure, as far as possible, delivery by March 23. However, this cannot be guaranteed as some delays may occur which are outside our control. Please note that a signature will be required for delivery of your PlayStation 3.

    VGP marked my PS3 as $20 and it was a pretty big box and heavy. No customs. DHL was used however.

     

    It may be just luck, but i'm pretty sure if it's in a cardboard box and well secure and wrapped nothing should be opened and looked into. The only thing is the weight, which if it was sent by an airmail postal service may give you a slight charge but i can't be 100% sure.

     

    I reckon you'll be fine. Don't worry too much. If you have tracking and it shows that it went through customs in a quick time (say 15 minutes) it'll be ok i reckon, although the Custom people are hit and miss with these type of things.

     

    If you used DHL, i'm 95% confident you won't get customs however.

     

    Sorry i couldn't be anymore help! and let me know what happens and if you need any help with your PS3 when you get it. : peace:

     

    thanks owen and caris

     

    i feel abit better now
