GameStation puts price on PlayStation3

Sony hasn't even set a UK price for the console yet, but that hasn't stopped GameStation announcing that it is taking orders for Sony's next generation games console out in November.

On sale for £425 the online games store is hoping gamers will choose it over other online shops purely because it is giving them a tantalising opportunity to say that they've got one on order.

Due in on 17 November, the site is currently only listing the 60GB version of the console and does warn that the price may change once Sony has confirmed its price in the UK.

Interesting the £425 is still £15 more than the €599 price currently announced.

Of course placing the order doesn't guarantee you'll be getting one on the day. GameStation is keen to point out that "We will do everything possible to ensure all pre-orders are fulfilled on the release date, but due to the fact that Sony has not yet allocated stock to UK retailers, we cannot guarantee this for customers".

Still at least your card will only be charged when we are ready to send out stock to you.
