Sony said today that it would launch its long-awaited PlayStation 3 game console in Britain and the rest of Europe on March 23.

But the firm risked disappointing gamers on a budget with news that it has no immediate plans to offer a cheaper, more basic model in addition to the high-end 60-gigabyte machine.

The news could add to the frustrations of European gamers, who have already been made to wait an extra four months to get their hands on the much-anticipated console following a production glitch last year.

Considering that no one bought the core Xbox 360 I'm surprised they released a 20gb at all.

Well, I certainly hope ruining Lik-Sang was worth it. Personally, I doubt it was.
