| mrstickball said: The issue with the supply "lies" or whatever: itrackr isn't real time. The 39% is based on a specific time of stock availability. Just because it was 39% doesn't mean its 39% now. The same was said for the PS3 about 2 months ago: It started showing cracks at 40-50%, while most stores still didn't see them instock, but it was only shortly thereafter that stock actually began to flow. |
Well speaking about national availability is somethig I can't do, but anecdoctally I can. I bought my PS3 on Dec 17th when I was walking back from a girls house completely and total hungover at 2 in the afternoon. I walked by hte Circut city in Van Ness and say a sign that said no Wiis but didn't see one that said no PS3s so I asked if they had any fearing they woudl be the 20 gigs. they had 6 PS3 60 gigers in Stock so I bought one. In fact I ahve seen PS3s in Stock in the Bay Area in every electronics store that I have been in since late december. even when I flew out ot Washington DC and visited my family in NJ in January...I was hunting for a DS lite for my Neice finally ended up getting a used one...Unfortuanatly I found out later that Sears had them in stock and the Marlton GS had them too but oh well. the point is I saw real evidence of the PS3 being in stock when it happened and I own one because of it and still have it though I am waiting for my box to get here from Sony since it broke when updating to 1.6...which sucks I want my ninja gaiden demo.
