Be part of our PlayStation 3 launch coverage

The launch of the new console is much-anticipates

We want you to be part of the BBC News website's PlayStation 3 launch coverage.

Do you live in the US or Japan? Are you an avid gaming fan? Are you excited about getting your hands on a PS3?

If the answers are yes to these questions, then you might be able to help us.

The long awaited PS3 will be going on sale on 11 November in Japan and 17 November in the US.

Can the PS3 beat the acclaimed Xbox360? Have the reports of problems and delays damaged the brand? Can the console ever live up to the hype?

We are looking for two US and two Japanese gamers who will have a PS3 on launch day to help us to answer these questions.

As part of our launch coverage, we want you to write us a series of short pieces for the site about:

• the run-up to launch day
• how you feel as the launch-hour nears
• and, once you've finally got hold of your PS3, whether playing it actually lives up to your expectations.

If you fit the criteria and want to be part of our coverage, send 150 words on why gaming is so important to you, and why you are excited about the PlayStation 3 launch.
