So many experts on supplies and logistics in this thread :P Especially known ps3 h8rs....funny stuff


I think your find it goes both way's. You can't really say anyone is at fault.

I was in Paris yesterday for a friends wedding and while there thought i would check out the shops. In all the electronic shops i went to there were loads of PS3's in stock, in fact i would say there were more PS3's on the shelves then Wii and 360 combined.

Now as others have mentioned that means nothing as the area that is having problems is US. But it shows there are PS3's out there and that Sony has at least got a lot of stock to Europe. If the demand is as high as some on here say in US why has the stock been allowed to get so low?

A lot of people are talking the talk but yet nobody has put up a picture of these supposed shortages. We live in the digital age, we carry a camera with us wherever we go. If people could put some pictures up showing the shelves bare then maybe some would take it more seriously. But thus far we have none up.

I'm not sure if they would change many minds. Pictures or not, some areas are out while others are not, that's just how it currently is. We DO know one thing, GameStop and other retailers have said the shortages exist. Whatever the reason may be, that's what many have to go on, along with their own observation(s).

Since you made the thread, and obviously disagree that there is a serious shortage, why not provide proof to your claim? Afterall, it is you with the accusation. Think of it as prosecution vs defense. Which of the two is to bear the burden of proof?


Hey don't get me wrong i believe there are not as many PS3's out there on the shelves in the US as there are in say europe. As for proof i showed you a photo with 25+ PS3's sat in a row not only taking up all the shelf room but some of the floor room too. Which shows at least here in UK PS3 is not shifting as many PS3's as you would think hence why there are loads on the shelf. What makes it even more interesting is that those PS3's were in the sale with £30 ($45) off the full price + GOW3 included. That in my opinion is a great incentive to get one.

Funny enough that is in stock at Gamestop in US http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=77841

And as i said before so many people on here obviously go to game shops, they have commented there are none in their stores. Take a picture. Seeing is believing, a picture tell's a thousand words, you get the idea :)
