Apparently PS3's are scarce right now?
« on: Sunday, February 21, 2010, 05:36:37 PM »
The wife and I were going to purchase a slim for the living room to use as blu-ray player and stream netflix.  Four B&M stores visited today and NONE of them had any.  Even Amazon is backordered 1-2 months.

Could be them creating a new SKU with their motion controller thingy. Bet we hear about it at E3.

I hadn't noticed.

But the PS3's line up this year is looking pretty dominant.

Upon some investigation it appears that Sony warned this would happen a few weeks ago.  Apparently the Christmas holiday was rather good to Sony.

Went to the Game Crazy and GameStop in my town tonight and they were both out as well.

2 new SKUs on the way


So yeah, I guess they're clearing old shit out.

It seems those are the exact same, from the hard drives to the wifi standards. It looks like they just found a different manufacturer.
