Sony Breaks Fanboys (and Fangirls) Hearts

If there is anything that can push the PS3 faithful over the edge, it was Thursday's bombshell statement from Sony Corp.

Because of shortages of Blu-ray components, the company may not reach this year's shipment target -- which means it's going to be VERY hard for you to lock down your very own PS3 anytime soon. "The honest answer is, it's more of a target" Jack Tretton co-chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment of America said, speaking about the Playstation 3 shipments. He added "clearly we've had production issues."

What does that mean for those of us who were unable to punch our ways to the front of the recent pre-order lines? Well, it could mean nothing if Sony can somehow miraculously deliver ... or it could mean that our holidays will be a lot less festive this year.

If there was ever a time for a holiday miracle, this is it.
