Gamespot is reporting that an official PS3 delay should be coming out tomorrow.
[quote]Citing an anonymous source, the article says the reason for the postponement–which has been widely predicted by analysts and executives–is that the electronics giant is having issues with the Blu-ray Disc format, which the PS3 uses.[/quote]

It’s not exactly news, but it seems pretty clear the PS3 is delayed until November in Japan. Is our delay in the US and Europe going to be even worse? Maybe I should get comfy with the tail end games on the current PS2.

Loki, a hack n slash RPG made by France’s [i]Cyanide Studios[/i] will be releasing in September of this year. It will be available on the PC.
Now, the [url=http://www.snackbar-games.com/wayne/news/loki.pdf]press release[/url] that I have does not specify if that is a European or American release. I hope perhaps we can get a simultaneous release, because the screenshots of this game look pretty nice. I think I could really enjoy a game like this, and it’s different enough (at least in environment) from the Diablo series that I could probably get right into it without getting bored a few hours in.
Wouldn’t this be something though if this game saw a European release before an American one? That just about never happens.

I know we’re a games site, but we all want to keep track of the next-gen format war considering how closely it is tied into the next-gen gaming systems.
Arstechnica is reporting that the only surefire backer of HD-DVD has delayed the release of their first few videos. This means Toshiba HD-DVDs will be hitting the shelves with nothing to play on them! I’m a hardcore early adopter, but I’m already a little hesitant to choose between the two formats early, and even I’m not crazy enough to buy something that doesn’t actually do anything yet. Arstechnica points out that they will still have a lead over Blu-Ray and support from Microsoft, but we know MS will switch sides if this thing falters too much. Besides, we all know how well console add-ons do in the market. Certainly nothing is etched in stone for either side yet, but this is a huge blunder to start out with.
