In an apparent turnabout, Sony has decided to re-launch Sony PlayStation 3 in Hong Kong and Taiwan on November 17, 2006. Both these Asian markets originally have scheduled release date similar to its European and Australasia counterpart. As most of you know, the present delay time frame of March 2007 (for the aforementioned PlayStation 3 markets) is due to component shortages.
