Sony is a company, a rather large company and yeah, you'd think they could sort this out and be straight with us, but let's face it, it's a complicated business getting a computer game made and put out there, especially in the scale that this release will be. I believe the main theory that PD missed the production schedule by 3 days, maybe it was because of new firmware tey had to put on the disc, maybe something else. Whatever, they missed the production deadline and re-arranging a new production schedule, not just printing blu-rays, but also rearranging all of their original shipping plans, and whatever else comes from that, well basically it's a nightmare. It's not just a case of PD saying, "Game's complete", and Sony going "Yay, it'll be in shops tomorrow!"
It's a HUGE logistical challenge, and frankly I expect Sony simply did not know, would not know until really, the game has been made (in the millions) and is on it's way to shops. Maybe as a result of all this there is not enough copies to satisfy demand all over the world and I would not be surprised if there's some regions/countries which receive less than they should to satisfy bigger regions. That would be unfortunate, but I see everyone who wants a copy of this game by Xmas having a copy. I think to believe that there is another huge delay imminent is really letting pessimism get the best of them. It's been a long wait, we're all mega excited to get our hands on the finished game, but it will happen soon. None of us can know the intentions and challenges of running a multi-national corporation, saying "they lied to us" is forgetting all companies lie, habitually, most of the time not even on purpose either. They gain nothing from it but all this bad publicity.
