Sony Online Entertainment has announced that they will have to push back the release of the upcoming DC Universe Online MMO. The developer has already stated that they will be providing compensation to those who have pre-ordered the game in the form of beta access one week prior to launch date.
"SOE is dedicated to delivering the highest quality game experiences possible," says John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment. "DC Universe Online is the first game of its kind, and a truly massive undertaking -- the first action MMO set in the DC Universe, the first MMO on the PlayStation 3, and the first time the entire DC Universe will be accessible to the millions of fans who are eagerly anticipating its release. As the game heads into external beta testing, this extra time will allow us to address community feedback in a meaningful way. When we get deeper into external beta, we'll be able to share more information regarding the new launch date."
SOE has also announced that they will be offering a collector’s edition of the game for the PS3. It will include a Batman statue, limited edition art book, and a comic book drawn by DC great Jim Lee.
The beta will only be offered to those who pre-order the game, and those who pre-order before November 15 will be assured a beta key.

This is more like a Microsoft move than a Sony one. I hope the game eventually comes out.

It probably just needs a little more tweaking. Plus, they might be sidestepping the release of WoW: Cataclysm.
