Official: Playstation 3 delayed until November


" Sony Corp., the world's biggest video-game console maker, will delay worldwide sales of the PlayStation 3 by about six months to November, giving Microsoft Corp. time to raise its share of the $20 billion global market.

The company had problems with the copyright protection standard for its Blu-ray high-definition DVD technology that will be included in the console, Ken Kutaragi, head of Sony's gaming unit, said at a conference with analysts, media and software makers in Tokyo today. Sony had planned a spring release. "


Not surprising by any means since it was supposed to launch in Spring yet everyone's been hush hush about its details. Come on Blu-Ray!
