TS3 L&P
spaceface:
That rumour was doing the rounds at the BBS, IIRC.
It's pretty obvious that the delay is simply because the game is not even nearly ready for release.

JR mentioned it in a conference call to analysts: "In the case of The Sims 3, Riccitiello said, "We see this as being one of the most important launches in our company's history, and certainly in the upcoming fiscal year." He added that the delay was called in the interest of investing more time and effort to make the marketing campaign for the game more innovative."
I too personally think it's because it's in an unfit state for release (but since when has that ever stopped them before?) but then again, something like this seems very typically EA.
DrNerd:
It's probably a combination of "too buggy even for EA to release" and "have already written 2009 off as a loss for the fiscal year due to Spore, and want to push Sims 3 to the 2010 fiscal year." Sadly, that was my first thought when they announced the delay, particularly a delay of that duration.
MidnightVoyager:
I know someone who works retail. She didn't even know about the delay yet. In fact, they have it in their back room, just waiting to be put on shelves.
If stores already have it... I doubt it's for any game-changing purpose, unless they want a patch on release.

That is just... scary. *Envisions EA as a gigantic vampire sucking all life out of it's merchandise*
Show of hands: How many of you want to bet that there is going to be another Sims 2 expansionpack before Sims 3 come out?
