Production of the 60GB has already stopped. The reason they're selling out so quickly is because Sony isn't making any more of them. They're replacing it with the 80GB.

It's going to be hiliarious if X360 overcomes PS3 sales in a month......

I mean it's great news for PS3 that it's actually selling now however this could slow down after a couple weeks. After all didn't the PS3 break records like the first couple days? After that..............

Don't overhype the sales yet.

I believe what they are going to do is reduce the price of the bundle pk to $500. When that limited edition runs out, a new $399 sku will probably be released, 40 gig with no emotion chip.

Reason why I believe this will happen is because the 3rd party developer has already stated this won't be the last price cut this year. Why wouldn't Sony advertise this plan.....because it might hurt current sales since people might 1) wait for the cheaper bundle pk or 2) wait for the cheaper sku.

Essentially they are claiming ignorance much like they did even the day before they announced the price drop of $100 at E3.

Back when I got my PS3 I had to go to about a half dozen retailers to find a actual console in stock and that was about 2 or 3 months ago. And with theclearance sale going on now I would hate to try and find one in stock around here now.

Wow, lol. I can hardly believe it.

At actual game retailers, though (Gamestop, Gamecrazy), I usually see 2-3 used, and one new.

The price drop hype will quickly drop. And most of the people who buy a PS3 will feel ripped off in a week like I did.

Then your Target sucks. Regardless of Wii or PS3 status, I always see 360s in Targets, Walmarts, Best Buy, etc.

Don't get too excited. The reason it's sold out at Target is they had a 10% off code that applied to the PS3. There are plenty in store. While I agree the PS3 is selling well with the price cut, let's not exaggerate. My local stores have plenty of PS3's.

I'm pretty sure when they said they had supply for months, they didn't mean "weeks'. But yeah, you could be right. :roll:

The Target I work at still has at least a few PS3's in stock. I haven't noticed a difference in interest in them one way or the other after the price drop.

After E3, this fall lineup, and whats to come in 2008. Nothing about the PS3 is dissapointing.

Perhaps when your 360 gets the red lights of death you'll appreciate the PS3's trustworthy hardware coupled with a great list of upcoming titles.

Cause everybody is like you, right? I happen to enjoy my PS3, and I'll most definitely be enjoying it over the next 4 months.

Why are people so freaking negative about any and everything that Sony does, are you thatlead by the nose of your particular console of choice that any good news that comes out about any company you bash just for the sake of bashing.

I just went to buy mine yesterday, on Tuesday there were 2 PS3's in both wal-mart's around me. I went yesterday, they were gone. I went to Circuit City, they were out, I went to FYE, they were sold out. I found one at Gamestop...the 60gb is going fast, as is the Emotion Engine, PS2 99.9% backwards compatibility FTW!!! :)

My local walmart now have a constant of atleast 5-6 wiis in the front case 1 or two xbox 360s and 1 PS3. I asked and the guy said that they have piles of PS3 in the back but they chose to display more wiis than 360 and PS3. So yes the PS3 sells but ask the guy working there they probably have like 20 in the back most likely.

I always see them in my retailers as well but I live in New York. Nothing is really sold out in NYC. But I think this thread is focusing on the online stores being sold out.

Well, considering that retailers have over 2 million 60 gb PS3s, it think that we're good for a bit.

It's going to be hiliarious if X360 overcomes PS3 sales in a month......

I mean it's great news for PS3 that it's actually selling now however this could slow down after a couple weeks. After all didn't the PS3 break records like the first couple days? After that..............

Don't overhype the sales yet.

Zerostatic0

Production has stopped but you're discounting the fact that PS3's sat on shelves for a good four months or so. All those stacks of PS3s across the country wasn't just a couple of units. There's a good supply out there. Now if all this sells out by September, that's really something. I'm not a fan of the discontinued 60gb but if they follow it up with a 399.00 sku, I think you can call it a wrap for the competition this holiday season.

I think TC means online stores and I hope you don't type like you talk, seems like its the trend these days to leave out verbs that make other verbs work.
