Here, on Amazon.com currently, this message is appearing on the PS3 Slim's product listing.

In stock on August 28, 2009. Order it now.Amazon

This means that, currently, Amazon has sold its entire stock of PS3 Slims. This is quite interesting for Sony as the Slim was only announced a little over a week ago.

So what do you think System Wars, can this current swing of sales in Sony's favor allow them to outsell the 360 in August as well as September?

$249 and $199 are less than $299, Halo is more popular than Joker DLC , and XBL > PSN. The ps3 is doomed in NA , it's too late.

That's pretty impressive considering the Slim isn't supposed to be released until September 1st.

Unless the PS3 pulls a Wii it becomes the next Tickle me Elmo, don't count on it.

Being that I already have two PS3's, I don't care about the Slim's sales.

I'm sure at that new price poitnt it will move fine though. Amazon's only one source, but I guess if we were to speculate, this is good news for the Slim so far...

There you go, they need a PS3 that flails about stupidly and giggles when you touch it.

I certainly hope that it doesn't sell out at Amazon.co.uk because that would mean that people aren't taking advantage of this deal.

Ahem, I'm going to use the big text so as to be noticed...

The reason the PS3 Slim is not in stock is because it's not out yet.

cool beans, its funny though, cause retailers are allowed to sell them as soon as they arrive, you can ask the various people who went to BB or EB etc and picked one up from the store in the past couple of days. Also BB said their on backorder already for the slim. But its a rerelease at a lower price point, there's obviously going to be a big initial demand ...

LOL@people saying it is not on sell yet so that is why it is out of stock. A shipment of them already arrived at my Gamestop and sold out. The guy said he could sell them because of some loophole that there was "no set street date" on the papers or something along those lines. I did not really press the issue.

Yeah, September 1 is the OFFICIAL launch, thats when most stores should have many in stock, the street date can be before that, as soon as the stores get it they can sell it. Love your sig BTW :P

Why didn't you mention the Elite price....because its the same price as the PS3 slim. How can the PS3 be doomed in North America when its sold out:roll:

Yeah they have a Wii. But PS2 lovers secretly wanted the PS3 to be cheaper and have better games. Now that it does they can finally get one. Wii + ps3/360 is truly the best way to go this gen.

someone doesn't know what a £ is >_>

Ohhhh, lol. I would have expected the UK to have adopted the € myself by now. Then again, does he know what the € is? Furthermore, the £ is the third-largest reserve currency, after the US $ and the €. The £ is also the fourth-most-traded currency in the foreign exchange market after the US $, the €, and the Â¥.

Why doesn't he know this? :o

lulz, you guys act like you make money on the deal, do you really require the ps3 to be popular in order to vindicate yourself and your purchases?

i'll say about the ps3 what i was saying about the 360 when it looked like it was going to get outsold by it's rival

there have been a ton of systems i've played and enjoyed that "lost" it's respective console war

was the genesis less good because it lost? the dreamcast? the neo-geo? the intellivision? the xbox?

you know who wins this gen? me, because i was not a closedminded little fanboy who was inflexable and stuck in his ways and bought a system because it has a specific brandname

i swear to god i just feel sorry for many of you because if you are like this at your current age what will you be like later in life when people are supposed to be closeminded and inflexable
