i heard they lost 3 million during shipment.

hehe!

OT:
I think that they will be discontinuing the 120. Making 250 standard and introducing a 500GB PS3.

unless they make the 250gb 300$ then that is a terrible idea, imo the only reason why its taking so much market share right now is because it offers more than the 360 at the same price

I know your bullshitting because I live in chicago too and work at target and see 0, 0, 0, 0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 across the board with ps3s in stock when i check the system (just checked today). and there arent ps3's within 100 miles of chicago at gamestop.



Sony are too broke to make anymore ps3s...



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Same price as an Elite.

The Arcade is still $100 cheaper.

well im not bullshitting 

i live behind river point mall and theres a gamestop there and as a fact i was there yesterday to buy a 1 year live card and yes they have PS3's 

2 blocks north theres a target and i was there 2 days ago to buy stuff for my loft and guess what they had PS3's 

2 blocks south theres a best buy I was there to buy uncharted 1 for my PS3 and guess what i saw plenty of PS3's 

and as a fact my niece boyfriend works at target on elston ave and i just called him to ask him and FOR SURE they have PS3's 

so dont come saying that im bullshitting cuz u just pissed me off

it's just due to the holiday sales which led to a huge number of PS3's being sold and now they have to replenish the retail stock to meet the surging demand. The January NPD wasn't as expected as most demands exceeded supply way over. This shortage is expected for few months.
