Sept 12. This news was posted yesterday to EA's Skate forums and over all, people don't seem to be terribly upset by the news. EA even posted a small apology to those who were anxiously awaiting the big day:

If you were planning on staying home sick on the 12th to name your first gap or if (like us) you bought a bunch of guacamole that expires on the 12th for your Skate party we send our sincerest apologies!

I think at this point we are starting to get pretty used to delays and as I and many others have said in the past (including the exalted Shigeru Miyamoto), I would rather wait a couple of extra days or even months for a fully functioning, awesome game than to get a rush job that will eventually have to be patched or in the worst case, replaced. Remember Bubble Bobble Revolution?

Yeah, right. Amazon lists its release date as April 21, 2006 (UK only, sorry America) — so it must be true, right? Is this vaporware product finally coming out? Doubt it, but I still laughed when I saw the link. Hey, remember in October when it looked like this was going to ship in December? Giggle.

Thanks, Tyrone
