Hi guys,
today I got some information for you regarding the 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle.
As far as allocations go, most retail outlets will be getting around 15,000 units in the first shipment. Replenishments will be done according to a store's relationship with Sony, IE, does that store sell a lot of Sony products, games there. So it's not a 1 shipment only deal. Stores will be restocked with the 80GB PS3. I suspect stores like Best Buy will obviously get more stock.
As far as I am aware, the bundle will go on sale at midnight for the stores doing midnight launches.
Also, GameStop/EB are running a really decent deal right now for those looking to upgrade.
Trade in a PS2 with any extra controller and a memory card and get $80 toward the purchase of a PS3. I don't know how long this is running for, but it will at least go through June 8th.
If you want one of these PS3s on day 1, I suggest getting to the store early on the day it comes out.
GameStop will not be taking preorders on the bundle, period.

SO initaial allocation of 80GB (its coming back to US now) aren't "that high"
THe PS2 deal is OBVIOUSLY done for PS2 owners upgrading.....so potentially a PS3 could cost $319
