They are readily available pretty much everywhere here in San Diego. Every console along with their current models were readily available down here during the entire holidays. I think that some areas got undershipped while others were clearly overshipped, San Diego being one of them. The only place that had sold out of every console by the 24th of Dec was Costco. Otherwise, you could find all the others either at Walmart, Frys, Best Buy, or GS. Frys was especially well stocked on PS3 models. Walmart I couldnt tell because they only shelve a few. BB had piles of PS3's and 360s with the game bundles... and I mean piles and piles. I actually helped a guy in line get one of the bundles instead of the base model for the same price because he didnt know the bundle existed (they were piled into a corner that was not as visible).
