They're certainly not making it easy for themselves this time around. I bet your chances of playing copied games on the thing are somewhere between slim and none too. Which would be another nail in the good old wooden box.

[Colonol Dekker]

I bet the sony guys have one all ready and waiting each.

[Mefustae]

Gamers in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Africa and Australasia will now have to wait until March to get their hands on a PS3.

Forget Europe, they just postponed the launch across two-thirds of the bloody planet!!

[Fineus]

And they're missing the all-crucial Christmas Trade.

Who knows, perhaps they'll have to drop the price right down so even I can afford one!

[Herra Tohtori]

Remember the conversation some weeks ago where it was notified that the manufacturing of PS3 hadn't been started yet?

Reminds me of my A-Level coursework.

Leave it to the last week, then go mad trying to keep all the teachers happy at once.........

...do you mean that it's not the only option?

[Colonol Dekker]

D'oh......... Thats what i did, I left it til late, and crammed 5 subjects worth out in 8 days..........
All passes, (technically law was all final exam )

i'm laughing at all the people who have preordered these little wallet-burners.

I pity da foo' who have preordered these little wallet-burners! 
And they certainly HAVE to drop the price, seriously 600+ € is just asking for it.

the retail price here is just shy of a grand australian, here (read: $999)

If I were to buy a console, an unlikely scenario in the first place, I'd be getting a Wii, purely out of curiosity. But charging through the roof and then delaying by over 6 months..... Not good business practice at all.

I find it sadly ironic that the whole Blue-Ray 'coup de grace' has turned into a massive fumble for Sony.

[Colonol Dekker]

The WII's my choice of if-must-must-haves, At about £170 (conversion rate and getting through EU) its the cheapest and looks to be most fun.

Although i'm decaling Revolution over every WII reference i find.

[CP5670]

I'm not really partial to any of the consoles, but this looks an appropriate time to bring up these gems again.

This little piggy intends on going wii wii wii all the way home........

[Mobius]

What?March 07?Are they crazy?
The launch of Final Fantasy XII has been delayed too....
Damn it!

[Deepblue]

In related news, there will only be 400k units for the US and 100k for Japan.

I hope I can grab one so I can make a killing on eBay.

[Fineus]

Good point really.. that's a really tiny number considering what they're trying to do.

[NGTM-1R]

You know, at this point it would be difficult for them to screw up more and still have a nonzero chance of viablity...
