...In Japan. Yes, the PS3 and 360 versions of the game in Japan won't come out until Spring 2009 in Japan, and the Wii version won't come out until December 19th.
But don't worry fellow Americans, we get no delay for quality control, (Sega's reason for delaying the game in Japan) all versions of the game come next week.

Seriously, Sega of America? Didn't the creator of Sonic resent that he rushed Sonic 2006 to get a holiday release? So this time, he has the game delayed in Japan for quality control, and the translation team doesn't see that as a reason to fix things?
They are setting themselves up for failure...
Apparently SEGA hates America as much as Nintendo does then eh?
The only thing they could really do in a mere one and a half months is maybe fix up a few glitches or put in some extra bonus content. The difference in teh games will probably be very little.
Still, you can't help but get the "Jeez here comes Sonic 06 all over again" feeling X-x;;
So are you saying that it's bad that we didn't get a delay with more months?

Based on the previous quality of past Sonic games that were rushed, probably.
Damn delays and not wanting to delay more. I say when people announce a game is being made, they don't announce the release date until it IS finished AND checked for bad glitches and crap, then they can release it a week later or so.

Seriously, why don't they do this?
At least we are getting it earlier.
When I saw the title, I was like "They just pulled a brawl!"
Besides, they are probably just taking out glitches or something.
Game still is going to be great.
Or at least better than all the poop we've been getting hit with. :|

Too bad the 360 version doesn't come out until the 24th, I want to see the Hedgehog Engine for myself.
The Wii version will have to suffice.

'Cause they're idiots and no one realizes my intellectual genius except few.

This has to be the weirdest release schedule I have ever seen for a game.

NA November 18, 2008
EU November 28, 2008
JP December 18, 2008 (No PS2 version)
Xbox 360
NA November 24, 2008
EU November 28, 2008
JP Spring 2009
PlayStation 3
NA December 12, 2008
EU December 2008

That IS a weird release pattern. Especially since the Wii/PS2 version are so different then the PS3/360 versions.
