Some gamers were a bit nervou when Phil Harisson, the head of Worldwide Studios, said he didn't want to make any sort of definitive statements on the status of the European PS3 launch. It wasn't long before message boards were buzzing with the possibility of being pushed back further than it has been already.

However, all of the panic was for nothing. SCEE has said the previously announced target of March 2007 is still on track according to corporate communications boss Nick Sharples.
