Better late than never, right.

Originally, Sony said that it would open online registration for PS3 accounts in Europe on the day the console released in the United States.

That didn't happen.

Now, some weeks later, according to DigitalBattle.com, Sony has finally announced that the process is open to Europeans who want to get their PS3 accounts up and running before they actually buy them.

Of course, you won't be able to use those accounts until you get your PS3, which will be, oooohh, I'm guessing sometimes in May, given past events. That's just a guess on my part.

No word on when or if such pre-purchase registration will be available for other regions, including the United States.

But if you live on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean, you can click here to register your as-yet-to-be-purchased PS3.
