It's hardly hilarious when you actually do a bit of research and find that the PS3 is practically sold out in Japan.  Also, I'm sure that a majority of Japanese consumers are more than willing to wait for the slim to drop.  So how about we wait for the slim to drop in Japan and then we can see how hilarious it is when you eat humble pie.

Sold out? No.

Yes, but unlike in NA and EU, they didn't drop the price of the old model.  Would you really buy a phat PS3 for $399 when you can wait a week and get the slim for $299?  Didn't think so.
