Sony is shooting itself in the foot.....right now the Ps3 finally has the right price and killer AAA titles coming out, and the popularity has started to soar just like it did in 97' . All my friends are trying to buy a Ps3 right now; some have got a hold of one and some cant and now that the demand is finally here, Sony is cutting everyone short. They are not making enough Ps3's. Sony could be outselling the 360 huge right now. Everywhere i go, the PS3 120 gb is out of stock. Sony needs to step it up, and start keeping up with the demand. Now is their big chance to start taking a big lead! It's their choice....start blowing away the competition or stay where they are.

I think that Sony will have more 120g models by april 1st.....it's definitely a road bump but nothing major

Heavy rain, God of war 3, mlb the show ,, april 1st is far away!

Good news, Amazon has it on stock

It's your whole life if you're a microbe.....but a month and a week in terms of  the PS3's life cycle isn't much at all.

This has been talked about on another thread, I think it is a conspiracy - as they have 250GB models and they make $$ on them, no 120GB models and they lose money... 

It's like 360's strategy, they "have" an arcade version at $199, so that # is in people's heads, then when they buy a 360, they pick up the $299 model, because it has that HD and salespeople tell you stupid stuff, when I bought my arcade version when my 360 went on the fritz, the salesman tried to tell me I can't go online with an Arcade version.  I felt like smacking him upside the head.

Sony can advertise the $299 price point, but if you are all set for a PS3, and go to the store, and no $299 Sony's but they have a bunch of 250GB for ONLY $50 more..  I bet the majority of people pick up the 250GB one :)

Sony is holding back supply to stimulate demand!

Amazon has it in stock as does my local Wal-mart and Best buy... I think the shortages are less severe than you think. Either way this wont effect PS3 sales in the long run. If people really want a PS3 they will wait to get one

Production takes time, and they have to be careful that they don't overstock the chain. Running low is a GOOD thing. It means they sold more in those regions than they anticipated at holiday. people who want a PS3 and can't find one are still going to get one next week or the following week or whatever. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Better than the alternative of having stock piled 50 high in every shop.

They knew this was going to happen, they said this in an interview so I think they know what they're doing.
