doesn't mention anything about a delayed roll-out. They mention delays, but not which country will be affected......

Roll-on 2nd December..... <BIG fingers crossed>

Well what country normally gets its pants pulled down and rogered over release dates? Its not normally Japan and its normally the USA

I was looking at the PGR3 demos and they didnt look all that, I think the videos themselves arent great quality and are all abit dark, this was on IGN is there anything mind blowing anywhere that really demonstrates this is a next gen console?

There's probably more sold in one of the large US states than the entire UK, so it's not surprising the smallest market would get a rogering

You'll need to see it for real Gary before anyone can say it blows them away. I never believe the showcase videos until I see it all in the flesh.

Doesn't stop me wanting one though

My mate has been playing on one (benefit of working for MS) and he said PGR is superb and the incar view is ace. Also mentioned Call of Duty and Perfect Dark are shaping up good too.

Also commented on its use as a media station, being able to plug in iPods etc. Also that wireless is quite neat too (though that might require a £20 add on).

Mines on pre-order so I hope its not delayed - sounds awesome!

I preordered my console on the first day via Amazon with all the controllers I'll ever need. but I'm still not getting my xbox live to run fast through my new router back to internet connection share for me.

That article didn't say anything about delays it just read like a bit of scare tactics into gaining more pre-orders
