March 14, 2006 - Though Sony has been steadfast in sticking with its "Spring 2006" launch timeframe for the PlayStation 3, the morning edition of Japanese business paper Nihon Keizai Shimbun is reporting that the system will see its release pushed back until early November of this year.
Citing problems with finalizing the copy protection scheme for Blu-ray, which the PlayStation 3 will employ as its removable media, Nihon Keizai Shimbun believes that the system will hit store shelves some six months later than expected. According to the paper, the Blu-ray copy protection problem is the only thing holding back the release of the console as its other core parts, including the cutting edge Cell processor, are all on schedule.
IGN contacted Sony US representatives who unsurprisingly told us, "Sony Computer Entertainment does not comment on speculation stories."
Stay tuned for more information, which may be sooner than later as the PlayStation Business Briefing 2006 is set to begin in Japan at roughly midnight PST tonight.

That seemed pretty obvious. Xbox360 was telling people about launch games in Septemeber, and released in December. Ps3 we haven't heard of ANY launch games and they expect that we believe a Early Spring launch, yeah right. Maybe they'll find out how to lower the price by then.

I am not surprised at all. I am kinda hoping this delay will bring lower error rates. I can wait for PS3 although I do really want to play PSU.

Dont care. It can come out in 10 years. I will never get tired of the Ps2. Anyway, I wont buy it till it goes down in price. So maybe it will be ten years. =]
