Welcome to the world of video games. Games are never finished (never) it's called a shippable bug. Delays cost money, often more money than can be made by selling the higher quality (not more content filled mind you) game at a later release date.
It is a cost / value assessment. As for the complaints / tech issues thread, they always fill up. Goodness knows what's going on with your game, but it is clearly unique to your situation, It probably has something to do with the one in several million permutation of level / inventory / alignment that wasn't specifically tested by lionhead that resulted in this bug (in order to debug it, it needs to be replicatable) Get a new disc, start the game over, etc. etc. etc.
I remember when I played through Shadow of the Colossus, I ran into a game bug that almost ended up with me not finishing the game, one of the flying colossi would fly behind a mountain and that was it for him. Never heard of that bug from anyone else, happened to me like twelve times.
