I have been looking to purchae a PS3 system but can't seem to find a system anywhere locally. Have they been selling that good? Or is there a new config coming out soon for the PS3 so they are selling out their stock?

When I went to get mine, Best Buy was sold out, so I went to Target. Did you look there yet?

Sony said supply is going to be tight the next couple of months. I would order one from Amazon.

I had to get mine from SEARS..but you should have no problem getting one from Amazon.com My guess to why the shortage is happening is because Sony is purposefully trying to hold back stock to create false demand. No way PS3's should be experiencing these issues as late in it's life cycle that it is.

My gamestop loves the PS3. Some people have these things called Opinions, which allows them to choose what they like or dislike. On Topic- Order online if you can't find a Ps3 in stores.

Whether they came to like it or not.......When the ps3 1st came out I dont know if it was company policy, but 90% of their employees did everything they could to convince people into not buying a ps3.. They were know to treat ps3 boxes poorly, open games, play them, and sell them as new........Which I still think they do....Harass people for pre orders in a day when games just never sell out.........Rip off children through buy backs,,,,,,,

Tons of them here in NC. I was just at Best Buys yesterday and they must have had 25 of them stacked in the isle, plus another 10 or so in the cage. Check out Amazon, New Egg, or Dell. I'm sure they have them.

They do that with all consoles not just the PS3. They don't hate the PS3. They're following company policies.

Buy from Amazon. No tax (depending on state) and free shipping. Can't go wrong. Will be cheaper!

Or pay the $12 for next day shipping @ Amazon, which is like paying tax if you bought the console in the store.

I couldn't find the 120gb Slim on Amazon for direct shipping, or at most local retailers, but I found that Sony had a Sony Style store here in Indianapolis, and they had plenty. A list of the Sony Style stores can be viewed at http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&identifier=S_SonyStyle_Store_Listing

I can't find any new ones here in Astoria, OR either. I've been looking for 2 months. Nowhere has them online that I've found. I've checked K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, Radio Shack, Sears, Toy 'R' Us, Gamestop, Fred Meyers, BJ's (has them, but only in bundles), FYE, Fry's Electronics, Newegg, Costco, even Sony Style is sold out! I know Amazon has them but they're like $500. Some places have the 250gb slim occasionally but still not much. Really pisses me off cuz I pre-ordered God of War III and now I won't be able to play it...ultimate edition too. I even got it from Gamestop and I hate those dicks. I'm considering cancelling the order and going with a 360 instead...which I would hate to do only because of how much I love God of War...also I've heard 360's have a fail-rate of 56% and climbing and PS3's fail-rate is about 5% or so. I'd prefer a 60gb or 80gb fatboy but I will settle for a 120gb slim at this point. Only reason I don't want the 250gb is the extra $50, it's expensive enough as it is. Just a second controller will cost me $55.

No PS3 Slims in the Philadelphia area. They are totally sold out. Nobody knows when more are coming in either.

personally I think this BS is gonna cost Sony alot of potential buyers. If I didn't have my heart set of God of War III, I'd just stop looking. Damn my bloodlust...

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a PS3 near northwest Oregon other than Amazon? I don't care if it's slim, fat, 120gb, 250gb, etc. as long as it's new.

Best Buy website and Sears website has playstation 3 available online for $299.99 a couple hours earlier. Best Buy may have already sold out again because now, they are showing sold out again. They don't have them in the stores available around me but I will have it shipped. Sears still has the $299.99 playstation 3 available for SHIPPING at this moment.
