PS3 temptation?

Only a few hours to go until the PS3 arrives in Europe. Excited? I am, and far more than I expected. Yes, the initial games are a bunch of typically pedestrian launch titles, but the media stuff - Blu-ray movies mainly - is enough to keep me interested for now. And let's face it, console launches are always exciting. Who can resist the pull of a new hi-tech toy? The thrill of something new? Ok, given the price and lack of decent games probably a lot of you, but even doubters - and I've been one for a while - are likely to feel some temptation tomorrow. And if you do give in you shouldn't have any problems getting one. A Guardian survey found that only 1 in 12 stores had sold out of PS3s. Anyone else see themselves succumbing to the lure of the PlayStation this weekend?
