Wow.

At this time last year, who would have ever thought we'd hear the phase "PS3 supply shortages?"

I believe I said that about Amazon, in the post where all the PS3 guys were going crazy about how awesome the PS3 80gb was doing. I rained on their parade, and the thread died. Go check it out, lol. I pwn.

Look at how I was reacted too when I told my opinion.

Am I the only one who wouldn't be that surprised if the PS3 was facing shortages?

Didn't they announce at E3 that they were replacing the 40GB model with an 80GB model at $400? If you were Sony wouldn't you want your stock of an 'Inferior' model to be as small as possible when you announce its replacement?

Amazon is not a reliable source for sales data.

 

Gamestop has bundles in stock too ( and is number 1 us retailer for video games, is that reliable enough ?).

so does BestBuy, Target, WallMart...

And they have had it in stock for at least 6 days...

Actually...
