I have been looking to buy a Ps3 at Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and so forth in my area, cant find one Ps3. Any idea of when the Ps3 shortage will end? I remember reading an article on a few websites saying Ps3 inventory will be low for the first couple months. Anyone work at a Retail store and see if there is any inventory coming your way?

I read an article on Engadget that Sony got a new manufacturer to make the PS3s. That could possibly be the reason. I was lucky enough to grab one last week.

damn, are they going to be making any changes to the current PS3's? I have been wanting a PS3 since I got my new tv a month ago. I have been hearing new Bundle packs are coming for the new releases FF13, GoW3. I am going to call my local best buy on my break to see if there is any information about a load coming in.

No changes at all. About the bundles, I'm sure there won't be a FF XIII bundle here in the states since FF XIII comes out tomorrow. As for GoW 3 bundle, I have no idea.

Try Amazon and if you don't like online shopping then talk to best buy cs they can usually tell you when they will have more and you could always go to the Sony style store but that also online.

might consider trying for a Sony credit card, just want to build my credit up, also just got a 50$ gift card and rewardzone certificates at best buy, so now best buy seems like the best option. got about 35$ in rewardzone. Ill see what my best buy has today since they said they might be getting some in today.

Well, when I say healthy they've had a few on the shelf, the stock room wasn't overflowing or anything. They might wanna get some stock out though, some system-purchase worthy games this month.

I'm surprised there wasn't a Gow3 system bundle or a FFXIII.

I beleive Microsoft has the "rights" to an american FF XIII system bundle. Japan has a FF XIII PS3 bundle, looks nice.

I was told by a Best Buy employee, that a lot of Best Buy stores would be restocking today March 10th 2010. You might want to check one out or give them a call. I was having the hardest time finding one too. I think I might have gotten the last one off of Costco.com on March 5th. Regards. *** Unfortunately it seems like my PS3 managed to get "lost" or something ,while in transit to my home ON the delivery date. Trying to get everything sorted out with UPS and Costco.com . . . . . *sigh* Just my luck.

Dell.com had some yesterday for $279. Around $290 after tax. I believe shipping was free. They only lasted a few hours. Sold out now.
