Don't know much about the original source of the rumor, "Guy". But when "generyx", who works for the games department of Saturn (part of the Media Markt Saturn holding of Metro), confirmed it I became curious. And like I said, having stuff stuck at customs is always a possibility. Happens to us citizens all the time to have no access to our stuff for four weeks because of customs regulations, could easily happen to Sony as well. The summer holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia (which is where Cologne is, which is where Gamescom takes place) run from 22nd of July to 3rd of September. That means there is only a limited workforce at customs and they aren't known to make exceptions. First come, first serve.
