PSP Postponed!

SONY LAUNCH POSTPONED
 
Electronics giant Sony has delayed the announcement of when it will launch its new PSP pocket games console in the UK.

The corporation wanted the PSP (PlayStation Portable) to hit stores in Europe by the end of March.

But an "unprecedented" demand for the gadget since its launch in Japan on December 12 has caused Sony to rethink its plans.

It is waiting until after the PSP is launched in North America, next Monday, before deciding when it will go on sale here.

PSP for the USA

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - There is no doubt that Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news) (news - web sites). will have a hit on its hands in the PlayStation Portable video game and media player which launches next week -- and there is no doubt the industry needs it.
Demand is so high for the PSP in the United States that the unit has become virtually unavailable in Japan and Sony has postponed the European launch by months to boost U.S. supply. The paperback-book sized unit launches March 24 in North America.
