You’d think the release of Oblivion would’ve been the best gamer geek moment this year, but I think the unofficial announcement of the PS3 price tops it:

April 5, 2006 – The word is out. Yesterday, Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe George Fornay let the PS3′s European price slip. According to Fornay, the PS3 will cost between 499 and 599 euros. That translates to between $613 and $736 for us in the States.

All of you Sony fanboys who were laughing at the Xbox 360′s price? I’ve got a plate of crow for you to eat.
