PS3 sales are not doing as *super* well as people think. When I talked to someone at GameStop they said they were getting like 2-3 PS3's in each week. lol..that's why you can't find any. The stock is limited because of Sony not sending enough to retail..whether purposefully or negligently. Nintendo did this same thing with the Wii..and it was blatantly on purpose. Probably trying to create false demand.

i literally just got a 120 GB slim like 2 days ago. i found one at toys r us. not my first choice to buy games or hardware, but they were the only place in town that had one. it was extremely hard to find. gamestop, eb games, wal-mart, best buy, target, meijer,were all sold out. they must be selling fast or sony is holding back stock trying to create false demand.

Where I live everyone is a 360 fan boy.

For some odd reason you can always find a few ps3 at zeller's.

Here's the deal. Companies produce consoles at the same rate all year. Then there is a massive demand at the end of the year and they must ship a ton more consoles during that period. This creates a shortage during the first quarter of the next year. That is what we are experiencing now.

Same with my town. My friend's dad tried to get one and the Best Buy, both Gamestops, and Walmart were all out of them. Target was the only store to have a PS3.

Where have you been? They have been selling out everywhere. Look on amazon. If you can order it from another seller and if you want to pay over the retail value. Be best way to get one now is to order a PS3 or reserve one at gamestop ($25 dollor deposit).

Im in northern Virginia and my brother has been waiting a week to get his, but when he got paid he went to get one this morning and no one had any ( he checked earlier this week and they were out but stores were to have some in by the end of the week). He did stock searches for gamestop, best buy andtarget and all were out of stock for a 50 mile radius

I would recommend going to the source - lol. I don't think Sony is holding back. I personally think that with everyone upgrading to HDTV's and blu-ray players the PS3 (blu-ray player) is their first choice at this price. I think I read somewhere a few days ago that sony had sold tons of ps3's during the holiday season and the momentum is probably still there. I figure once it starts to warm up and people start to get out more it will slow down. I picked my PS3 up from the sony online store (free Shipping). So if you are waiting for your store to restock just pick one up from sonystyle and you will probably get one before your local store restock - lol.
