One rumor I read is that Polyphony was only late by three days. The main reason for the delay has to do with having mastered the game under the 3.41 SDK. 3.41 has been hacked (PS3 is currently on firmware 3.50), so they are having to remaster the game under 3.50 as a means to protect against potential piracy.
In other words, a round of Q&A to make sure nothing has broken under the latest SDK, submissions of gold master candidates, and finding a window for manufacturing the Blu-ray discs (in the crowded holiday season) are all that stands between us and the game.
I'm guessing it will still be out before Thanksgiving, but I'm still bummed that I won't be able to play it as soon I return home from NSXPO.
