I was pretty sure it was gonna be delayed. I'm happy for this as well just because it would have been a sub two year development cycle (or at least since ME2 released).
There's already a lot of big games coming out at the end of the year (Gears of War 3 and Uncharted 3) are the two I'm planning to buy, so this delay helps out the gaming budget.
