It's march 2007 now.

But after I've seen Blu-Ray presentation in Berlin last month, I'm kinda glad.
It took almost a minute for the BR drive to start reading the data. I'm talking about the discs that could be read, cause half of them just wouldn't boot up or came up with read error message. Guys doing the presentation were really embarrased. Let's hope they can do something about it before US launch. Or at least before march.

"The launch of Sony's PlayStation 3 has been delayed in Australia and Europe until March 2007."
Japan + north america unaffected..

"Sony says the move is due to a delay in the mass production schedule of the blue laser diode."
