I'd like to be able to say that I didn't see this coming, but...
Oh well, we get to wait another 6 months (Aussie here). That and Steve Irwin dying just up the road (I live in Cairns). I don't know how much more I can take in such a short time. :(

Well that's ruined any plans for a potential Xbox360 price drop until next year now! (even though it was unlikely)
I wonder if it will slip even more so, like to June or July as there will probaby be shortages in Japan and North America!
Nintendo...this is your time to shine!

FFS, i have been counting down the month's till launch. I straight away checked other gaming sites. Man i hope someone was misinformed!, coz noone else had it as news. Otherwise what do i do.... buy a 360 then when the PS3 comes out regret buying it?. Or maybe get the WoW Xpansion and try and speed the time up between now and March. I hate being in New Zealand and getting everything second to last(before Oz ;p) DAMN YOU SONY!!!!!

Well mayb for me cause i live in australia i will get the Xbox and then save up for the ps3 and then get that next yr. I doubt it though i have lost my urge for console gaming. The only reason I got a ps2 was because my sister broke my ps1. Otherwise i wouldnt have got the ps2.

Name one console Sony has launched in a timely manner in Europe.
You can't.
They don't value the EU market, they don't value Europeans as customers.

Look at the bright side: When the PS3 launches in Europe and Australia next year the initial bugs would have been worked out already. They will be getting in essence a second generation machine.

thats how the last 2 sony launches went aswel, not only do we get second gen hardware there are more games on launce day.
a silver lining i soppose but still i wanted 1 4 xmas, it would of given me a reason to get a big HDTV in the jan sales.
i stilll think m$ will drop prices this year to entice more peeps onto the 360 bandwagon

Dela, you should be used to it by now mate, we always get screwed, because the market revolves around the US. When it eventually does come out, guess what? We'll have to pay more for it than the yanks do!

Plus, no "lite" version of the console here in Britain either. Screw 'em.

I hope in turn this and everything else leads to the failure of the PS3 to be honest, i don't see why they concentrate on America and not Europe! Same happened with the PSP and to be honest they aren't partically popular here.

Yeah, right according to Megagames Sony has not even begun PS3 production as of August 21st:
http://megagames.com/news/html/console/p...otstarted.shtml
Good thing I was planning on getting a 360 after the sticker shock of the PS3 anyway. If the PS3 has just begun (or even has not begun) production I do not think they will hit their production target. According to the Megagames article Quote:
the company has promised 2 million units until the end of 2006
