A well-placed source - who wishes to remain anonymous - has informed CVG that an announcement from Sony on complete, concrete PS3 Euro launch details is "likely to go ahead at the end of January".
But the timing of the company's announcement is not yet etched in stone, they added. Fingers crossed though, eh?
Sony remains adamant that PS3 is on track for a March launch in Europe, pooh-poohing recent rumour suggesting that the console may suffer further delay, possibly to September.
Sony was unavailable for comment on the information given by our source at the time of writing.
