Looks like Sony will be lucky to get the console out for the 2006 holiday season. Seems that Blu-Ray isn't as easy to get into the console as hoped.

It also appears that cost is going to be a huge concern. This could be a serious problem for Sony. Some analysts are suggesting that the compenent cost alone could top $900. US.

Might as well buy a computer if that is true.
