Gran Turismo US release: Jan-March?!

As feared, the US release of GT4 has slipped to an unspecified date.  Following news of a 4 week delay in Japan, Sony has suggested that the US release will be "the January-to-March window of 2005"; attributing the delay to "natural challenges". What this means for the European launch is still unknown, but Spong's guessing Easter. Can you believe that Gran Turismo 4 has already been delayed ten times, spanning a period of 18 months?
