If Sony decides to release PS3 this year, it's going to one hell of a rush job. I mean, they're not even ready to demonstrate it at this point -- it's unthinkable that they're going to release it this year. And don't forget the three to nine months delay from Sony releasing it in Japan before it is released in the US and Europe.
