Announced today on ITP.net is Sony’s latest bad news…. no launch for PS3 in Europe, the Middle East and Africa until at least March 2007. Not only that but they are going to have to pay nearly us$1000 for the Blue-Ray ready console. Reason for the delay? Not enough Blue-Ray drives for the devices. Meanwhile, Microsoft announced they will have “significant volumes” of their HD-Player ready for this holiday season. All in all, this is turning out to be an interested battle.
