PS3, PSP Rainbow Six held till '07

By Tim Surette, GameSpotPosted Nov 21, 2006 3:34 pm PT

What happens in Rainbow Six Vegas on the PSP, PS3, happens in 2007; PC version now due on December 12.

Rainbow Six Vegas is firing its first shots today, as the Xbox 360 version of the game is now on store shelves. However, backup in the form of PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PC versions of the game isn't coming along as planned.

Ubisoft has revealed that the three additional versions of Rainbow Six Vegas won't make their previously expected ship dates.

The PS3 version, which retailers have recently been listing as early 2007, will now be released on January 30. The game was expected to be one of the PS3's 21 "launch window" titles as late as mid-October, but like the PS3 edition of Bethesda Softworks' The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, it has fallen from the list, which now stands at 19 games.

Also releasing on January 30 is the PSP version, which was only officially announced in September. The handheld take was originally scheduled to be released in early December.

PC gamers looking for a little post-Thanksgiving counterterrorism will have to wait a few weeks longer than expected. Once slated for a November 28 release, Rainbow Six Vegas for the PC is now due in stores on December 12.

Ubisoft did not give any reasons for the new release dates. For more information on the game, read GameSpot's previous coverage.

    Pushed Back Even FURTHER !!! --- March 1st.. http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=270025

    I know that even sony's site states that it will be on the 30th of Jan, but Gamestop is really good with there dates...they foresaw all the delays in games before announced to the press...(half-lifes, Metal Gears, etc).

    I plan on waiting though, instead of buying this on my 360---I like my ps3 controls more...and i think the 360 version runs inconsistent...and I dont want to play for xbox live

    sorry everyone =(

    "kevb84
    wow sucks for PS3 owners."

    I know I am stating the obvious, but kevb84, a lot of the stuff that I have seen lately, sucks for PS3 owners. Delays, crappy games, expensive system, non exclusives, etc., etc. Personally, I am glad that arrogant Sony is having a rough time this generation. I loved them last generation, but then they started developing this "holier than thou" attitude, and personally, it bothered me. I say the 360 and the Wii is the way to go. (I don't have either of them yet. 360 is still a bit on the high side for me. I am definitely interested in the Wii though. Brings something interesting and new to the table. I'm waiting for there to be a price drop though, or maybe I'll just cave.) Although I want to point out that the PS2, Xbox, and GC still have some life left in them, so I am enjoying them for the moment.

    I don't understand why they delayed the PC version. This has nothing to do with the Euro PS3 launch, and two weeks is hardly enough time to debug or work on a game. OH WELLZ I'll just have to wait for it.

    Hmm, thats pretty harsh, i was hoping to get the psp version for crimbo. That release date being pushed back kinda takes away some of its flare, for me anyway.

    Looks like the analysts were right when they said publishers would push back games till next year due to the missing European Launch.

    I rather they delay and put out a excellent game then a sloopy game and it being on time. I hope everybody else agrees.
