Local PlayStation launch postponed

The launch of Sony's PlayStation 3 has been delayed in Australia and Europe until March 2007.
Launch dates for Japan and North America will remain the same - November 11 and 17 respectively.
Sony says the move is due to a delay in the mass production schedule of the blue laser diode.
The delay will be a bitter blow to Sony's chances of continuing its domination of the gaming market. Microsoft's Xbox 360 has been available in Australia since March, and Nintendo is expected to release its innovative Wii console before Christmas.

What a surprise! I knew this was on the cards though said nothing in hope that I would be proved wrong.
I might make the move to the XBOX360 which is an awesome unit in it's own right.
