ha hah haha ahah - This has made my day. Come on Bill Gates show us your money. start advertising the XBOX 360. Hey Sony Lovers! You do relise that it will still cost £425 + £50 a game when it comes out in March. then by xmas they will drop it by £50 and by then Playstation 4 will be announced. Dont put up with it show Sony how unhappy you our go by a Xbox 360. Sony WILL NEED TO WIN YOU BACK! Only way to do that is by making it cheaper! Why wait another 4 months when you can go out today and get a console with loads of cool games (DEAD RISING, PGR 3, Oblivion ect ect)

I'm guessing that you live in North America. Trust me I would be piss*d if I lived in Europe aand have been waiting for PS3 and then too find out to have it released 6 months later.

Damn man, that sucks. Even though I live in North America, so far it seems like things will just get worse. I wasn't planning to get a PS3 until recently, but just to hear this news of Sony's Progress with the PS3 is just a big let down. I wouldn't be surprised of Call Backs or a lot of glitches at this rate. And especially at the PS3s current price not a lot of people will be able to buy it. I remember when I bought my PS2 just after buying all the stuff from Controlers to Games I ended up spending $600, if buying the PS3 alone and then buying controlers and games I'd probably end up spending $800-$900. Even though I too am a Die Hard Final Fantasy player, this just makes me think about getting the 360 instead and wait a year or two before buying a PS3.

I don't blame people at the end of the stick for being upset for the delay. You all wine like it is the US to blame and that is far from true. Japan gets preference always and that's partially due to the largest markets which are supplied first, unless the supply is larger than the demand. It would be nice if they could even out the distribution amongst the world but that also doesn't work well. Last I heard North America was set for Jan 07 so we are 2 months ahead of the PAL region but you know that will slide knowing Sony. It's amazing that MS can put out two good machines and PS3 is still not here yet. More and more Sony sucks... How about another Root Kit Sony lets really p@ss people off.
I feel for all of you who are waiting to play the PS2 games you can only get for that consol on the new one, this has to be extremely frustrating for you.

ouch!
The only good thing about this is there will be more Wii demand on Ebay during the holidays, which is what my pocketbook is counting on.

@ big beef: well you cant judge the ps3 by its games when it hasnt even been released. And the xbox 360 doesnt have any games yet stand out. and next time try to post the correct info becauase the ps2 is priced at $500 and $600 and 700...

As an citizen of the US, I'd just as soon see Sony let Europe have them first, I honestly wouldn't be heartbroken.
In the last year, Sony has made so many errors, screw-ups, and even blatantly insulted their customer base outright. I have no interest in buying this system, because of these things. Even big business magazines are indicating that Sony's recent actions are indicative of a failing company, their president of the US division was recently incuded in a list of the top ten people who no longer matter.
There recent year's foul ups are becoming too numerous to list, and it's not a good sign for them, things like their late start manufacturing; their recent racist advertisements in the UK (Followed by a spokesperson actually publicly saying they couldn't understand why people were offended), saying that 'because of their name' people would buy their system 'even if they didn't release a single game'. Those are only a few mentionables. I don't want a console from a company doing things like this, which is really odd for me to say, because I generally take pride in owning them all; but when a big company sinks to a level where they start literally insulting the intelligence of their customers, I have no interest in giving them any of my money. Why would I?
So, by all means, if someone else wants them, let them have the systems. But the majority of gamers that *I* have spoken with (And forego any of your cries of how this is not a mass opinion, because I have emphasized that this is my *personal* experience, and will differ from yours, and let's not get into soemthing that petty) have stated the same opinions. The system is too expensive, too little, and too late, slapped across the consumer's face with a full helping of personal insult and lack of faith in their own consumer fanbase.
Bravo Sony, Bravo.

This dosnt really bother me. I was gonna wait 6-8 months after it came out to get it any way. This would give them some time to work out the bugs.

ok time to take back my money now, why is it that europe is always on the "to screw" list? {{"fudge"}} sony.
Oh! OH! {Ears Buring worse than Nero Express on Overdrive). <not> ;-)
Fudge? Firge? Fooge? Fark? Flub? Fluk? Fruck? FLUCK SLONY?
Look at the bright side, Dela! The first Sony units dumped into the USA will be so full of glitches, boondoggles, and run so warm you'll be able to toast bread on them, that the American market will threaten to blow up Sony headquarters!
Just *think* of all the early problems you will be able to avoid !
By the time the PS3 hits the European shores, the initial wave of flaws may be finally worked out, some decent firmware upgrade(s) may be available, the price may have dropped a bit, and who knows? You MAY even have a more stable selecton of Blu-ray HD movies to choose from.
(Were you silly enough to drop some money on a first-release unit?)
Oh! You SILLY Early Adopters!!!!!
I WANT MORE DRM ! MORE MORE MORE !!!!

Oh i think he was. All these people who are pissed were in a rush to get the first wave of flawed crappy PS3's. Rush Rush Rush. And all the US citizens making fun of the PAL cry babies, if you read the entire artical you would see that they droped the numbers of units getting shipped to the good ol US of A to 400K. so about half of you that per ordered arent gettin crap on launch day. Even with all this going on there is no reason disown sony. Give them time, They will make it up in the long run with years of mind blowing gameplay. it will be worth the wait. forgive me it this ran a little long. I work graveyard shift and have nothing better to do.

I said it once and I will say it again " go and buy a xbox 360. This will hurt Sony more than anything else" Plus I reckon the only reason the USA is only getting 400 Thousand is because sony are not even sure Blu-ray works! Better to recall 400 than it is 800 thousand.

I dont think that holds much water. I mean they already shipped the DEV kits and Blu-ray burners to the game devlopers. the only problem here is that production started too late to meet quota. I really hope some one lost there job over that.

hmm, this will not effect PS3 release on Indonesia :), usually indonesia have it faster than any other country (example : indonesia got GBA 2months faster than JAP, got PS2 1months faster than JAP)
and i will buy PS3 when the price drop, hmm maybe to 250$, hey! 600$ for game console is ridiculus!

sounds like what everyone in the us will want to do is make friends with someone at best buy or circut city and get two put one on ebay and sell it there because the demand for it will make the resale of a new one pay for both and theis way you get yours free... sorry but around christmas the prices will double once production is in full swing even if there isnt any recalls.. the blue- ray player is the most important part of the relese of the unit.. a non computer drice that will alow the next gen of dvd to be played on your tv. everyone who just bought a new laptop (except macs sold in Japan) will be I should have waited but thats just a thought. anyway the question is when will there be a major game list be issued by sony of all games coming out... and those that are ready...

There is no way in h*ll sony can ship that many systems to that many countries at one time.......remember when the ps2 came out? When the ps2 came out....there Sony didn't even ship simultaneously to every country and there was still a shortage. It wouldn't be a surprise if there is a shortage of PS3 for even the U.S. Customer.

Given how late the PS3 will now be a reasonable price, I suspect there may be a 360 waiting on ebay for me... LOL I used to think myself anti-Xbox, and I'm still wary about the crashes and so on, but I'm not buying a console above £300 as I have a gaming PC, and the Wii isn't HD, so, well... I will get a PS3 eventually because I'm a massive fan of the Gran Turismo series, but it's more likely to be in the same timescale as I got a PS2, xmas 02 rather than mid 01, so it may be mid to late 2008 before sony gets a PS3 sale off me...

do you work for m$? sony have said they see a 10 year life cycle on the ps3, it will be the new xbox that gets announced after xmas it will have been out 3 years by then. the reason sony are flaundring at the moment is because microsofts rushed out a "next gen" console, with limited next gen hardware, so soon after its last which caught them off guard. who realy thinks that the original xbox has reached its limits? any way im off topic
im not happy that sony is f***ing us over again but they always have and probably alway will but thats life
fyi iv only got a xbox a the min which i bought with the omney i made on selling my 360 after 4weeks
