We have seen a sales boost on retailer sites, the PS3 80gb is up to the best selling console on gamestop, and the PS3 80gb went from the 63rd place on amazon to the #7 place, and continuing to rise.

Where did you hear this, and how could something be on charts when it hasn't been a day?

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Is this a perfect storm situation for Sony? or will the bad overall economic picture cause the storm to fizzle?

Could anyone tell me why someone would want to buy a fat now instead of waiting a week to get the slim version?

How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

Probably the look of the phat + believing they dont need that much hard disk space. And maybe a little misinformed and thinking the slim is gimped. A combination of those.
