um got no idea but if you luve in the uk and want one get onto your local woolworths ASAP cuz they were recently allocated 3000 so that would be your best bet

Under 500,000 for the whole of Europe - possibly just under 50,000 for the UK.

idk but simpily not nearly enough such in the case of the US they will probably be spread way too thin

I heard that it was a miss-print, it wasn't 50k, it was the half million we all hope for the in UK. LETS HOPES SO

I did hear 50k. I mean think about it this way of supply:

US gets more than UK, UK gets more than Japan.

What sources were those then that were quoted in the article. I saw that at the time it was posted and it was only following other forums conjecture. Bearing in mind that the US figure was 1.298 million, do you honestly think that the UK with a 6th of the US population is going to get near enough half of the US allocation then you are kidding youself.

Even Gamestation that have roughly 15% of the UK game market is only getting around 6000 units. If you work that out as 15% = 6000 then 10% = 4000, so 100% would be 40,000.

Rough figures but a lot more plausible than 500,000.

I think the 50.000 mark is probably true, at least for the launch. curious is that I asked my local store here in Greece and he didn't know a exactly number but he said the last time when they lauch the PSP they got only 3 !?! thank good I have preordered and I am number 3 in the list!!
