Definitely a better lineup and selection than we had at launch in the US. Things have been pretty quiet for the PS3 in the States since the frenzy that happened during the PS3's launch week. Too quiet. Hopefully the month of March will bring some promising new PS3 titles to the States like Oblivion, Motorstorm and F1. With the Wii and Xbox 360 leading by months in Europe and slow PS3 releases in the US, we'll see if there will be as much fervor as there was during the US and Japanese launch for the PS3.
