Given all the content and interest here on Lair, I figured you guys would also be interested to hear that the North American version of Lair has completed its development and is now in manufacturing! That means that we are on track for our August 14 release date. It goes without saying that we’re eager to get this out to those of you that have been waiting so patiently (or not!) for it to arrive. Considering the new PS3 price and now Lair, hopefully there’s even more of a reason to scoop up a PS3 if you haven’t already!
For us, there’s still a bit of work to do, as we have localization to finish up for Europe, Japan, Korea, and more, which will all hopefully follow very soon. Once those are out, our leaderboards will truly be global, and then we can see once and for all who the best Lair players are out there! The gauntlet has been thrown, and North American players are getting Lair first, so don’t give that advantage away…
We also have some great updates for the official Lair site that will be live soon, so keep an eye out for those …

Almost a month after Sony announced the $100 reduction in the 60 GB model PS3 is still topping the Amazon.com hourly sales charts. What this means for overall sales of the PS3 last month remains to be seen (NPD numbers later this month) but this does give a pretty good indication of PS3′s demand.
