Sony still aiming for spring PlayStation 3 launch

Sony's game division said on Monday it is still aiming to launch the PlayStation 3 this spring, but could delay the console if the company is unable to finalize the specifications.

"We're aiming for spring, but we haven't announced specific regions," a spokeswoman for Sony Computer Entertainment said, adding that some of the component specifications of the PS3 have not yet been finalized, such as the Blu-ray drive and the input and output of video and sound.

"We're waiting for them until the last possible minute, but the launch could be pushed back if they're not decided soon," she said.
