For some critics it's already over-priced, but retailers in Greece have raised the RRP of the PlayStation 3 to EUR 659 (GBP 442 / US $863).

Sony has previously stated that the PS3 will retail in the majority of European countries for EUR 599.

Online stores in Greece, including the official Sony Centre, are listing the 60GB console package at EUR 659.

Sony has already confirmed that the PlayStation 3 will retail at a higher price of EUR 629 in Ireland, due to the region being "traditionally more expensive than other territories."

The PlayStation 3 goes on sale in Europe on March 23, with around 30 titles due in the launch window.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe was unavailable for comment at the time of press.

I assume anyone who wants one bad enough will plan a vacation to another country to pick it up.

It's actually cheaper to order one from the US, shipping costs included.

What about region locks? I can't remember if there is any. If there is, then you would need to order all the games from the States.

I don't know about region locks, but good luck with that. You will end up paying another 300 for customs.
Unless someone sends it to you as a gift.
