Irish debut date draws near for €599 PS3

The wait is almost over for those whose idea of fun is spending time immersed in the gigabyte-driven virtual reality of the PlayStation — the third-generation consol will be in the shops on March 23.

So, you have until then to get your hands on €599 for the 60-gigabyte version which is destined for Irish shops.

The less powerful 20GB model may follow later in the year depending on demand.
