Is this an non-reported delay? Last I heard it was March as well.

Has any big game not been delayed? wtf. I guess they have to ensure it doesn't turn out like Lair. These are well hyped games and PS3 needs them to pass the 360. Better not have 1 single flaw. They should rival SMG in ratings and Halo 3 in sales. By they i am referring to MGS4, Killzone 2, and FF13.

The link I gave was a press-release. IGN, Gamespot, and many others picked up on it and reported it the same day. Here's the thread from about a month ago discussing the delay: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=9394#end

April release then.

I hope they improve graphics and gameplay.

Also I hope they improve graphics in KZ2, and make the game LONG. Resistance 2 will hopefully rival killzone 2 graphicly.

jjseth said: Wojitas, not if they convert all the chips in the PS3 to either a 65 or 45nm. That would dramatically drop manufacturing costs not counting other parts that would go down in cost to manufacture as well. I think that we'll see at least a $50 price drop on the 40gb before the end of June.

You have to be kidding me, you can't implant a change in component production with a snap of a finger, it takes time to adjust the production facilities. Besides, the information you give about 45nm cell chips, these won't be produce-able until late 2008, it just doesn't go that fast, especially that the first 45nm cpu is coming out sometime in January. Next off you would have to give Sony time to sell off all of those ps3 that they produced with old components, which may take a few months even after those 45 nm ps3s start being made, there's just no way for a price drop to even happen, even with to this processor technology change. I mean what kind of economical sense would it be to sell ps3s' that costed you 600$ to produce for a price that fits a ps3 produced for let's say 400$?? That's asking yourself for major loss.

 

of course in 2008, -100$

or for MGS4 release

or GT5 release

or GTA4 release

just choose the best one

and dont listen people who are saying it is not possible, they were already wrong for the price drop this year ...

^True about that, although that still doesn't mean that what Sony is doing is actually the best thing to do business-wise.

 It doesn't mean it's the worst thing either.  In fact, it really doesn't mean anything.

^ Guess we'll have to wait for future financial earnings reports then. Oh yeah, didn't some Sony CEO say that there won't be a price drop for the PS3 for some time?

It depends, 3 major price cuts in a matter of 18 months I believe is unheard of. Especially at a time when they are reporting so much loss already in their games division. I think it was a little over $800 million loss on 1.3 million consoles sold. Meaning the more they sell, the higher the loss. Another price cut will send it over the edge that would even make Microsoft squeem.

I believe there will be another 50 dollar drop before MGS 4 and GTA IV.

I thought this delay was known for a while though...
