Don't mind to be honest, gives me a good opportunity to give Fallout New Vegas the time it deserves, and if it's delayed until after xmas I might give the new Need For Speed game a go, which I was just going to leave. No big thing, only a game.

Oh well, only Duke Nukem Forever left to wait for now then

A few weeks delay, wow after some have waited for years for this a month aint going to be a big deal. Have to lol at people who would rather have it a buggy game than a working one just for a few weeks extra to wait. Still its only the 2nd delay in its history, well 1st for PAL regions just gives mr more time to finish COD first of all lol.

That's what I think they're doing.. wish I could, booked some time off work for this too
3 weeks from release and it gets pulled, they better give a good reason, not the "we want it to be perfect" because after this amount of time if they can't get it right they might as well give up. This actually just increases my fear that it's going to be disappointing tbh..
I think a Spring 2011 release is most likely. They would love a Christmas release, but delaying a November release for an extra paltry one month, I can't see it happening. You have the testing, localization and certification processes to go through.
Very disappointing and laughable. It is slowly becoming the Duke Nukem Forever of racing games. I would also think that Sony is getting rather irritated and thinking of handing out pink slips to the people at Polyphony Digital. Delays like this costs them money - lots of it.

LBP was pulled from shelves a few days before official release and it was out a few weeks after. I guess this bug/issue who knows should take about the same amount of time.

I think it probably has something to do with those damn hackers. Months ago they said it was ready and they were just finalising things. Sony are not gonna want to release it if it isnt 100% secure.
What on earth happened to Kaz and the game being at a point "where we can release it any time we want." That was back at E3 2009. So so many people looking forward to this game (myself included) and granted its only its first official delay but what on earth can warrant it being delayed this late after so much time has been spent on development? Too much time spent cramming in as many features as possible?
FFUUUUUUUUU!

That's not it, the fix is widely available. Medal of Honor ships with firmware that disables it for example.

dam I wish I had a ps3

Looks like I'll be waiting for my PS3 and GT5 a bit longer then. Constant delays official or otherwise can only mean the game just isn't up to snuff.
That's a given these days.

It will have bugs though! Every peice of software in existance does. This idea of 'perfection' is just massive, massive waste of time, and it's only the games previous success that's allowing something so ridiculous to continue.
We're dealing with Kazunori Yamauchi here. It's very unlikely to be a small delay
Oh come on, the game was 90% complete about last October
It has to be about 99.3 complete now.
Also no new date is kinda worrying. GT4 Japan release was delayed only a few weeks though from what I remember.
There was some speculation that this was close to going to print very close to when the PS3 exploit came about. In fact, I read on one forum that there was a leaked box art image of the game which stated it was compatible with firmware 3.30 and up. This would have been a disaster for Sony, as anything under 3.42 would have the ability to be used with the exploit and Jailbreak devices that hit the market during August to September.
It is quite possible that this has caused Sony to withdraw from going to print and patching the game with 3.42 from the outset. Remember, this is Sony's flagship game. Sony have gone to extreme lengths (have a google) Worldwide to tackle the Jailbreak devices. In one instance, they have tracked a member of the public down through a yahoo account who was merely hosting details about jailbreak devices let alone the actual resellers sites with devices for sale.
