Sony PSP has its European debut

BBC:

Hundreds of keen gamers queued outside High Street shops to get their hands on Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP) as it went on sale in Europe at midnight.

Major electronics and games shops across the UK opened up at midnight for those who had queued during the day.

Sony expects a million of the gadgets, a games console that plays films and music, and browses the web wirelessly, to be sold before Christmas.

Its European launch was delayed after a supply shortage following its US debut.

Video games store Game opened 250 of its stores at midnight, and had 1,500 staff dealing with the demand. Dixons opened 20 stores at midnight, but had stopped taking pre-orders last week because of demand.
