In what is dissapointing news, Sony Has announced that it is pushing the release of the PlayStation 3 back to November. Although citing DRM technology issues, there is widespread gossip that there are other reasons. Regardless, is not news diehard Playstation fans want to hear.
From Cnet.com: "Sony on Wednesday confirmed that it's pushing back the worldwide release date for the game console to early November. The company cited delays in finalizing copyright-protection specifications in the Blu-ray standard, which will be the underlying high-definition DVD format for the PS3. The PS3 had been scheduled to debut this spring. The company is aiming to release the console simultaneously in the U.S., Europe and Japan." While this is bad news, it ain't all bad. A later release time will hopefully mean a more polished product: the last thing Sony wants to do is release something that's not 100% ready, given their insistence on "consumer perfection". It will also give developers a little more slack, hopefully they can come to grips with the entirely new Playstation architecture, and actually release some titles that push the machine, unlike the slew of X-box generation one games polished up and put in a nice frilly frock and then release for the X-box 360 ;)
