The launch of Sony's long-awaited PlayStation 3 games console in Europe has been delayed until March 2007.

Funny... A store in my city have had BIG signs and banners hanging everywhere, proclaiming that the PS3 would launch november 17th... Wonder what they'll do now... :rolleyes:

Europeans will benefit from not having to deal with 1st run production errors.

Thats about the only bright side i can see to this crappy bit of news.

yea agree, look at 360 when it first came out. burning soo much disk. How ever I wouldn't be waiting in line at my local game store just trying to get a PS3. hopefully wait a few monthes till things die down.

Not to mention there will only be 500,000 units combined between the U.S. (400k) and Japan (100k) at launch... I was going to buy one, but I guess not now. Going to have to wait until next year.

People will be killing to get these before Christmas.

100,000 in JAPAN?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?????????? ?????????

Here is a novel idea...let's piss off the entire, and most important market for the PS3.

Sony has an anchor tied on for this one.

Yep, from this article: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/730/730814p1.html

Japan had 1 million PS2's at launch... now they are only getting 100,000 PS3s. Owned.

Of course, everyone is getting owned by Sony on this one. PC gaming is looking better and better each day. :)
