My only question is...How many of you DS owners out there actually "prance around" with your systems? :confused:

PSP postponed in Europe
Sony delays the release of its PSP "for several months"; American launch still on track for March 24.

The launch of the Nintendo DS in Europe last Friday brought handheld gamers across the pond a handful of joy. The launch of the DS beat its main competitor's expected release of the PSP to market by two weeks. Sony's first foray into the handheld market was expected to be released later this month, giving European gamers a viable choice between the two handhelds.

Those holding out for the PSP will have to watch Nintendophiles prance around with their dual-screen handhelds for a few months longer--the PSP's European release has been delayed. Georges Fornay, chief of Sony Computer Entertainment France, has confirmed the unit's delay. The release is being postponed "for several months" so that Sony can adequately provide enough PSPs to satisfy the consumer demand.

Americans need not fret--Sony has promised one million PSPs for its launch in North America. The PSP launched in Japan on December 12.

Sony probably wanted more time to bribe the major media outlets in Europe ;)

Like for example this new handheld comparison (http://images.thetimes.co.uk/TGD/picture/0,,186324,00.jpg) in the UK paper The Times

lol, yep i will never trust newspapers with video games. Headlines such as "Murder by Playstation" in the mirror and Driv3r getting 8 out of 10 in the Sun confirmed what i've thought all along with video games in newspapers.

Although i have no intention of getting a PSP it is just another sign of the lack of respect for the european market (esp the UK). Mind you somtimes i cant blame them.
