[Only registered users can see links. ] Computer Entertainment Australia (SCEA) is intent on making the event something more than mind-numbing waiting. Instead of just waiting around the gamers will be kept entertained with a free public screening of Casino Royale (David Craig as [Only registered users can see links. ]). SCEA teamed up with retailer Myer for the said event. A viewing space outside the store will be set up, where the Bond movie will be played from a PS3. Screening starts 9:30 P.M. on March 22.

Lizzy Lovette from 2Day FM will also provide some entertainment as host of the launch. Plus PS3 paraphernalia will be given away, along with free massages and a chance to show off your gaming prowess by playing PS3 on the big screen. More freebies come the Aussies' way as [Only registered users can see links. ] will give away a free copy of Talladega Nights to the first 100 PS3 buyers while SCEA will give away [Only registered users can see links. ] to the first 20,000 to register on the [Only registered users can see links. ].

Only 60GB [Only registered users can see links. ]s will be available in Australia and will retail at AU $999.95 (about US $795).

Hmmm Even Australia seem to get a better waiting around deal to the UK

I want PS3 paraphernalia
