Instead of a spring release in Japan it is now coming out in November. I am not sure how this will effect the North American launch, but I wouldn't expect anything until at least early 2007 with this news; though you never know.

According to my friend who works for EA, "no one working on anything PS3-related expected that thing to come out in Spring."
I wonder whether or not they're really on schedule with all their other parts besides the Blu-Ray. I kinda suspect not.

Yet around Christmas, the jerk salesman at my local EB (who reminded me of a sleazy car salesman) was trying to sway people's purchases by telling them that the PS3 was coming out in 3 months. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Maybe Sony is trying to pull a Microsoft and release it over all three markets at the same time?
It is the most wonderful time of the year.

The same friend who works at EA said Blu-Ray is serving as a convenient way to cover the fact that they're just behind schedule.
I'll buy it when it comes out either way. From a consumer standpoint, I could give a fuck - it'll come out when it comes out, and it'll be fucking awesome whenever the hell that is.

"March 14, 2006 - At the PlayStation Business Briefing 2006, Ken Kutaragi has just added another infamous quote to his belt, this time stating that PS3 games are "live" and that the PS3 concept is "4D"."
Unfortunately this system seems unable to alter weather patterns as its predecessor. Either way, his message is quite clear, with this news in mind: think twice before purchasing an Xbox 360 =)

Incorporating the final specifications of the Blu-ray format will enable "playback of BD software at a high bit rate," with "a maximum storage capacity of 50 GB (dual layer) and robust security." The PS3 will be compatible with all kinds of TVs and a high-speed broadband connection. Update 19 (via 1UP's updated page): DRM was what delayed the launch, but the system will come with a 60GB HDD preinstalled before 11/11/06.
Emphasis mine.

If I go to Japan this winter I'll see if I can get a Japanese PS3.
