It's interesting to see the difference in the way that News Corporation and Fairfax Media reported on the PS3 launch last week.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
The launch of Sony's PlayStation 3 games console got off to a feeble start last night with officials, media and security outnumbering customers for most of the evening.
The Australian IT section, in contrast, makes no mention of a poor turnout - simply saying that:
GAMERS queued outside retail stores across Australia to buy Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) from the stroke of midnight.
