Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Announces New March 2007 date for European Launch of PLAYSTATION 3


London, Wednesday 6 September 2006 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that it would revise the launch date of its PLAYSTATION® 3 computer entertainment system in the PAL territories of Europe, Russia, Middle East, Africa and Australasia from 17th November 2006, as previously announced to March 2007.

Launch dates for Japan and North America will remain the same, which are November 11th and November 17th respectively.

The revision of the launch date in the SCEE territories is caused by the delay in the mass production schedule of the blue laser diode within the Sony Group, thus affecting the timely procurement of key components to be utilised in PLAYSTATION 3.

The previously announced PLAYSTATION 3 shipment forecast of 6 million units globally within the fiscal year ending 2007 is not changed.

I assure you, within a few years you won't have time for playing games on any hardware... ;) (Unless you end up unemployed which, in general, is not a good idea at all! :D)

Good luck, you'll definately need it, mate :D
My dad tries constantly for more than 20 years, all in all he won 5.000€ and spent about 20.000€ LOL + hours of guessing numbers etc.

Was it worth the money ? Nope. No. Not at all. God.

I know it´s nearly impossible to win in the lottery it´s more likely that you are struck by lightning. I think in the beginning the playstation 3 is gonna be to expensive for an average household.

Naw, XBOX 360 was affordable, wasnt it ?
And I think they have to be concurrence (competition ?) for the XBOX360, so they can't just sell it, say twice as expensive ;)

Whatever, I have a job, got some cash, and now all I am waiting for is for it to come out. Its not expenxsive for the average household, but for the average kid ;)

Oh LOL
I'm 18, and i got 5000€ on my bank and 400€ cash at home, literally beneath my pillow :D

But I'm kind of weird, I never buy anything, I don't really need ;)
I DO buy games, but seldomly anything else like DVDs, I only rent them and watch them once, more than enough...

And I am an average kid, if I see that right, we don't eat out of the bin, but my name is not Gates, either ;)
