PS3 pushed back till March in Europe
From Gamespot

PlayStation 3 delayed in Europe
Sony announces next-gen console put back to March 2007 in Europe; blue laser diode issues cited for delay.
By Guy Cocker, GameSpot UK
Posted Sep 6, 2006 1:44 am PT
When Sony's PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles launched worldwide, there was up to nine months between the Japanese and European releases. So European gamers rejoiced when, at this year's E3, it was announced that the PlayStation 3 launch would take place worldwide over a matter of weeks in November.

However, this morning Sony has issued a statement saying that the PlayStation 3 release date has been put back to March 2007 in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, and Australasia. Sony cited 'the delay in the mass production schedule of the blue laser diode within the Sony Group' as the reason for the postponement.

The Japanese and North American release dates are unaffected by the delay, with scheduled 2006 launches on November 11 and November 17 respectively. Sony's global shipment forecast of 6 million units for the fiscal year of 2007 also remains unaffected.

The European delay means that the PlayStation 3 launch will take place well over six years since that of its predecessor, which went on sale on November 24, 2000. Sony is making no additional comment on the PlayStation 3 delay at this point in time.

---------------------------------------

Dunno why, but I'm not at all suprised. Europe is always getting fucked over.

This is the final straw for me. Me and my brother have been considering going halves on an Xbox 360 lately, but I was uncertain whether I should or just wait for the PS3. After this news, I'm just gonna go ahead and get a 360.

Most probably, if the online subscription isn't ridiculous. Probably won't be getting the 360 for a couple of months yet though.

The thing is, Xbox live is pretty important even if you dont play games online. You get a large amount of downloadable content for games.
