Sony Korea plots a June launch

You thought the PS3 was done launching, didn't you? You'd be wrong ... dead wrong. Or at least breathing heavily at the announcement that Sony plans to launch their PlayStation 3 in Korea this June. That's right, now you can snag your very own Korean PS3 at the low, low price of around 550,000 won (about $600). The launch is slated to be a 60GB-only event. No more of the puny 20GB, although if you're not into metal trim, you're out of luck since that's your only choice.

We give you a ballpark estimate of the price because SCEK isn't exactly sure about the final price or the model details (maybe there will be a few 20GB?), nor are they set up for a marketing campaign yet. But it's safe to assume that there won't be any 20GB models and the price, therefore, would reach a maximum of 600,000 won. Do we have any Korean readers out there? Do you guys plan to snag this device as soon as possible? What other places does the PS3 still need to launch in? Let us know if you live in such a place.
