PlayStation 3 still far from complete? |

OK, so I can understand that nobody likes those 'PS3 Delayed' articles. Well, according to The Inquirer's assumptions, the PS3 is still far from complete. The official release date is November 2006. So that leaves about 6 months till D-Day.As is the case generally with all major software/hardware release, the last 6-8 months are generally spent in debugging and cleaning up the code. Plus, the developer kits are generally well within the grasp of the game-developers. But that's not the case with the PS3.
Few people have seen it in action, and even fewer have actually had a hands-on experience with it. There's basically 2 problems which are plaguing the release of the PS3.
- Size : Yes, all the ultra shiny hardware is actually too damn big to fit in the box which they've been showing us all this time. The problem can be solved by using smaller components. But if you're not sure what components are going in the console 6 months before release, then you have some serious problems in your hand.
- Few components not finalised : Sony is still bidding on some components. Sounds ridiculous, I know. The final hardware should've been finalised a long time ago, so that the developers know what they're working with.

I'd truly rather wait for even LONGER for the ps3 to come out rather than see a bunch of happy little campers come home with their brand new ps3 and find out the next day about how it has all these bugs and such because of sony doing all these things such last minute.
I expected better from you guys, sony. Get working so you can fix things up, and if you can't, then just wait longer. I'm sure you'll have more/happier customers that way. Because I totally know that the president of sony read this comment... =(

And they are as likely as not to post an internet rumor as "news".
The Xbox 360 had no hardware available 6 months before launch. There was no Xbox 360 hardware available at E3 '05 proir to the 360 launch (only 2 Mac G5's). So the BS tripe "We are about six months from launch, and debugging should be done, prototypes and dev kits should flow like water, and all the tame magazines should already have one." is, well, just BS tripe.

Really, this kind of news ... just isn't. Let's just take a deep breath and stick to official stuff until well after E3, shall we? There will be plenty of news to go round for quite a while ...

You might as well say "How dare you say 'Ground Zero' for something NOT 9/11 related."
Sheesh... sometimes I think people should have to pass a test before being able to post on the internet.
