in Europe, at least

The launch of Sony's long-awaited PlayStation 3 games console in Europe has been delayed until March 2007.

Ken Kutaragi, head of Sony's global computer entertainment division, said the machine would still be launched in November in the US and in Japan.

Mr Kutaragi blamed the European delay on problems in mass producing elements of the high-definition Blu-ray disc drives in the machines.

Sony said it still aimed to ship six million new PlayStations by March.

Nor me, i think m$ knew about it, thus why halo is due out around that time?

to be honest i think that's just a coincidence but the delay seemed inevitable. they bit off more than they could chew.

lets face it it's now september and the thought of it appearing in uk shops in 8 weeks was looking highly unlikely. i just hope it's worth the wait.
