- agreed. 7.54 is so old now. 7.60 p3 is as good as a final release. p2 was trash.

- Yet another reason not to use Suns java. Never have liked it anyway.

- Idiot. It's the implementation that is flawed.
You could apply the same argument to IE: It allowed access to the system directory in JavaScript, so therefore JavaScript is corrupt, wrong and dangerous.
And whose Java are you going to use then? The old, buggy, slow MS variety? -

- "agree who cares about opera anyways?"
If you don't use it then don't post here. In my opinion Opera is far superior browser than IE and Firefox. -

- It is not just far superior, it is so much better that it is even impossible to compare opera with ff or ie. Since one you compare opera with IE or FF in the same rank, you bring opera down and bring IE or FF up, just because they compared with opera.
Hahaha :-) Well, half kidding, actually i do think that opera is a great browser, and since neowin is biosed toward FF, it is always nice to add some spice about opera :-)

- wow, come on ppl..... your opinions are getting further and further from what it's really at the post.
It's Opera's fault since they have a "unique" way to implement Java 2RE. I don't see a point of flaming each other by saying stuffs about IE and FF. It's Opera that we are all talking about.

- I have stopped using Opera since 7.6 preview 3 came out... the new version is buggy as hell... cant wait till the stable release of 7.6 comes out, but im extremely dissapointed with opera lately... and i hope everything is all fixed in the next version.

- Funny, 7.6 preview 3 and 2 were both rock solid for me.
Solution:
Cont...
"Natural challenges with finalizing all the key features and localization issues across worldwide territories have led to the difficult choice of pushing back the release date," SCEA said in a statement, "in order to ensure that Gran Turismo 4 lives up to the exacting standards of the 36 million-plus fans worldwide that have purchased previous versions."
The delay leaves egg on the face of Sony, who only last week held a high profile party in Tokyo to celebrate the "completion" of the game, and which previously removed the much-vaunted online functionality from the title in order to ensure that it came out in time for Christmas.
There's some speculation that this fresh delay - which may also have a knock-on impact on the launch date of the European version, which had already been delayed into Q1 2005 - will give the firm time to reintegrate the online component, but Sony has so far not commented on this possibility, and is still officially planning to launch a separate online-enabled Gran Turismo product later next year.
