Almost all 60GB PS3s will die before the generation is out. Get a slim, may as well wait and get a 45nm RSX/Cell version for lower heat/power use and higher reliability.

and when will those be here by?

 

When the shortages end pretty much. They've been caused by their transition to the 45nm process on their GPU so there shouldn't be much difference. The FCC filings recently confirm its coming as the console is 200g lighter.
