PlayStation 3 Delay Official

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday March 14, 2006 @09:26AM from the you-owe-me-five-bucks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's official! PS3 has been delayed until November in Japan. Apparently, it's because of copy protection technology issues associated with Blu-ray." From the article: "Today, Sony officially conceded defeat to the recent flurry of rumors and speculation, with Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun reporting the machine has been pushed back until November. There aren't many details out right now, but Sony says issues over the finalization of copy protection technology related to their Blu-ray disc drive is the cause of the delay. As the news is coming out of Japan, that creates a worrisome scenario for America and Europe."

Pay a price for their copy protection scheme? What the hell is wrong with people these days?

Because Sony wants to protect their system from the flagrant abuse and piracy of games, movies, and other Blu-ray content, you feel it necessary to whinge about your hope that they 'pay the price' for doing what is, in essence, a good business practice?

Go warez something else. I hear the Dreamcast was easy to steal games for. Maybe you'd like it more than the PS3, considering you sound like a trolling pirate.
