According to the Taipei office of SCEH (Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong), the initial shipment quota of the PS3 to Taiwan is completely, utterly, fully, 100% booked. The actual number of allocated units wasn't revealed, but according to the office, if you didn't throw down an advanced order, you're probably not going to be able to get your grubby hands on the insanely easy-to-dirty PS3.Of course, there have been a couple of imports into Taiwan via "unofficial channels" with prices far higher than normal. Is anyone surprised? Doubt it. Quoth the sources: "The 60GB model (CHCEA07) imported by unofficial means is currently available at some non-designated stores at prices ranging from NT$36,000 to NT$48,000 (US$1,100-1,468), compared to SCEH's suggested retail price of NT$17,980." Wow! But still, not too surprising. Geez, Sony, it's almost like this was your plan all along. Nah, let's not give you too much credit. But soon you've got to beef up the supply! Please?
