PlayStation 3 went on sale at midnight last night.

As PlayStation 3 went on sale at midnight last night, Sony said Australian pre-orders for the machine were "well-over" 20,000.

Given PS3's unprecedented price and a string of public relations
disasters that have tarnished the Japanese electronic giant's name,
Sony would be extremely happy with the figure. Nintendo's Wii and
Microsoft's Xbox 360 sold around 30,000 units in their first few days
on sale in Australia.

Strong crowds turned out last night at Myer stores in Sydney and
Melbourne to celebrate the launch, and over 500 other retailers across
Australia opened their doors at midnight to cater for early adopters.
