Just got this in an e-mail from Sony. It's from the UK list, and so should be the UK launch date... is it out today?

-----

The U.S. Government has announced the discovery of a new and highly destructive PlayStation® virus. It has not as yet been found amongst the population at large but can be expected soon. Our sources lead us to believe that June 6th is the most likely day of release.

It is imperative that all military personnel and PlayStation®2 owners familiarise themselves with this extraterrestrial source of infection.

Further details can be found at http://www.scee.com/extermination

A quick identification and education guide in the form of a screen saver can and should be downloaded.

No one should underestimate the virulence of this infection and all efforts should be made to both prevent further contamination and to spread awareness of this virus.

Your complete attention and compliance is mandatory.

Just checked on the SR site and it says release date of 8th June!

I got the same message from Sony and thought it was an actual virus warning (until I read the rest of the contents) especially as I am at work :-)

Still good publicity and makes you think about buying it.

Yeah, I thought it was 8th June (Friday) too... a Wednesday does seem odd.

The '6th June' part is probably a typo! The mail was probably hurriedly copied from a hand-written note by a trainee at Sony HQ! :-)

I don't actually remember ever signing up for one. I think they got my e-mail address from the registration cards I've sent in.

I registered on Sony's site. www.scee.com, in the top right hand corner are 4 little boxes, the third one along is register, that way you can also acess the registered users section of the site.

Nope, it basically just gives you acess to a modified site map and a few extra things about the PSOne
