So I guess we read things differently then. This is what I read (cut and paste from the above mentioned page):
The Linux Community In Europe, London, January 30, 2002 -- Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) will release the Linux Kit (for PlayStation 2) in May 2002, targeted towards the Linux community in Europe.
And also previously on the page:
In response to this movement, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe will now release Linux (for PlayStation 2) to support the Linux user community across the PAL territories.
Yes it will be released, but the press release posted in the story was aimed to the american market. The European press release is here (unfortunately it's in some weird.doc format).
It basically says the same thing as the american release... Here's the first sentence:

And the name of the beast is Emacs? :-)
Hmm, perhaps it should be named Dino-zaurus...
It seems strange to me that you can read it in another way.
It's all pretty unambigous to me...

Eh, no, at the bottom of this page they say that they're releasing a european version at the same time...
