I haven't noticed. I see one every time I go to Walmart.

I can't speak for the rest of the world but this is a time where you can't find a damn thing in NA

 because sony sucks. I can't stand anything they make.  nintendo and MS are the best but sony is a necessary evil to put my console and games at a cheap and push the competitive edge. Either way, MIcro soft is not sweating it though,MS will pound on sony with project natal. all the chicks, moms and grandma's own wii. they are not going to want a clone called arc, it will take a new tech and that is natal. all these same people will go get a xbox..

These people don't give a crud about lag either so  don't go running your mouth when clearly this is not for the hardcore audience. this will sell to alot just because people like to have friends over and most hard core games can't provide  entertainment for a room full of people, natal can...

I TOTALLY WENT OFF SUBJECT.  WITH THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF PEOPLE GOING FOR THE PS3 ON THIS SITE, SOMEONE HAS TO COOL THERE JETS AND PUT THEM BACK TO REALITY AND REALITY IS THAT IF MS DIDN'T HAVE NATAL, THEY WOULD BE SCREWED BUT THEY DO AND THERE STILL MILLIONS AHEAD AND MAKING MONEY....

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Well, actually Sony lose money on each PS3 sold... so generating hype about it might cause more PS3 owners to buy games, giving them more profit. When those people who had to wait for stock to come in are going to be more excited about the console when it comes out, so will buy a few extra games, so therefore generating more profit for Sony. Some of the details are a bit fuzzy, but this is the best summary of it

1. Stock shortages

2. ?

3. Profit!

Maybe they have a shortage of one of the components used to build the Slim PS3?

With how many companies are going bankrupt, I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happened.

wow, you have won the prize for the MOST ignorant person of the year.

Yes, Nintendo IS THE BEST but Microsoft, you are wrong. They are the worst.

1-A system with a failure rate over 50%

2-They know how to steal money from their customers with overpriced accesories.

I could keep on but that's enough...

i think they are waiting for gdc to make some announcements, but either way, even with the shortages, they are selling pretty well still.

I haven't seen these shortages but if there are shortages that's dumb! The PS3 has so much momentum and shortages won't help.

*cough* because they like to jack off...
Get it?
The title?
lol

PS3 is the new Wii..

Bahahahahahahahahahaha hehehehehehehehe

*whew*...

Seriously can anyone else say that without laughing or at least cracking a smile?
