UK retail chain Gamestation was rather quiet when it comes to their PlayStation 3 (PS3) launch the other day. Unlike other stores, all it did was released an announcement regarding its midnight launch and before that, a PS3 pre-order listing for 424 GBP.

Maybe it doesn't want to attract too much attention that will, in turn, attract security issues or something. We don't know. Anyway,just moments after the launch is over, Product Manager Jorden Jones went public and gave a few details on what transpired during the event.

According to Jones, more than 200 of their stores were opened last night to accommodate thousands of gamers waiting to get their hands on a PS3. He then remarked,

Last night's openings were a great success and we have teamed up with Sony to provide exciting "Concept Zones" in some of our stores - allowing gamers to get to grips with this next generation console, proving yet again that Gamestation is THE destination for gamer.
