Sony will expose thePlayStation 3's final details to the world tomorrow, including the confirmed release date, launch price an🎃d online features.

The next-gen details will be revealed during a meeting - which was originally off-limits to the press - in Japan on Wednesday, March 15. Now that Sony has opened the doors to the media, expectations are high for an in-depth official annoꦍuncement for PS3's launch and pricing.

While it might be surprising that Sony would choose such a low-profile event for such a high-profile broadcast, PS3 has failed to make a real appea♎rance since 2005's E3 games show last May. If Sony doesn't clarify any PS3 details until this year's E3 it would effectiv✅ely rule out any chance of the spring release officially planned for the console.

A delay was apparently confirmed by Japan's Nihon Kezai Shimbun newspaper, which reported today that the launch is being put off until November because the copy-protection technology for Blu-ray discs still hasn't been f♍inalized.

In addition, Taiwanese manufacturer 𝓡COMPEQ has received an order to mass produce a fundamental part of PS3's architecture - crucially, the production line is set to begin💫 in June or July of this year, according to a Chinese technology website.

By making a surprise announcement and unveiling the final details tomorrow, Sony could gloss over any delay to the💟 PS3 launch date and create a buzz of excitement leading into E3.
