The initial release date for the PS3 was expected to be Spring of 2006.
But, because Sony just recently implemented an Online Feature (like XBOX LIVE, but better) therefore its going to be delayed for a bit.
As of now, there hasn't been any new news about actual release dates yet, but I am expecting it to be latest around the x-mas season, because thats when people are in a shipping-hype.

The Online feature i mention about is called "Sony Playstation HUB".
This could include chatting, downloadable demos, independent games, and online play. It is also expected to support the "Sony PSP" gaming platform.
Also, Sony however has still denied that they have decided upon a particular launch date for the PS3 gaming console.
So i hope these answers all the dates that people are saying the system will launch on.
