Default Playstation3 delayed til Sept 2007 in Europe?

Taken from C&VG:

Wednesday 13-Dec-2006 11:07 AM Source tells CVG that PS3 won't launch in Europe until September 2007 while Sony sticks to March release

Sony's head of Worldwide Studios Phil Harrison recently told Official PlayStation Magazine that he wouldn't like to make any definitive statements about the March rollout for PS3.

Sony quickly followed that up with a statement re-confirming PS3 is on track for March 2007 across Europe. But speculation of a further delay just won't go away.

High placed sources within the industry have already been tipping April as a more realistic launch window the for console. But a source has told CVG that a PS3 delay as far back as September 2007 is now far more likely, pointing the finger of delay at - yes you guessed it - "component shortages". And let's face it, you don't launch a console in summer.

When contacted this morning a Sony UK spokesperson told CVG that "We're 100 percent on track for a March release".

These came out in america while i was over there last week, graphics are pretty good on them but didnt pay much attention.Im reasonably happy with the 360.

Check ebay.com not uk see what the going rate is for one.

in all fairness the PS3 has been getting a bit of a kicking. It's selling like hot cakes as you would imagine, but when the launch games that are on 360/PS3 are compared most if not all reports are that the 360 is better with a better framerate

someone posted the link to all that info last week (think it was on ign)
