The reason for ANOTHER delay *coughcomeongamefreakcough* is that they need to conserve energy in Japan, thanks to that earthquake/tsunami double hitter. Here is exactly what it said, as it appeared on the site.
This is annoying.
Obviously.

They will tell when on the Global Link website sometime soon.
