yes slimebeast the ps3 is still supply constrained


really?  hard to get then over there still?

 


no its not.  Or at least not really, I work for Gamestop and check our numbers all the time and currently all Gamestops within my entire district are sitting on quite a few PS3's right now.  They are still selling and we by no means have a huge surplus but we have more than enough to meet demand.  Wal-Mart may be different I suppose.

Anecdotal evidence doesn't speak for the entire country.  We can each only say what we see in our area.  Here in Austin, TX PS3s are very hard to come by.  I could use this information to say that there are no PS3s in the US and they are straining to meet supply.  I'm not, but I could following the logic you're using.  All we can do is see what Sony says, as as of the response to March NPD data they said they're still having trouble meeting demand and would continue having issues for a few months.  Besides that all we can do is speculate based off the data we can collect at any given time.

yea, they never weren't hard to get, the upsarge came from that shipment sony sent out mainly to bigger online retailers.

 

@BenV

really? http://www.gamestop.com/Browse/Search.aspx?N=141+196&loc=ps3title

not only do every gamestop in the miami (33135) area not have any ps3's at all, but the online store is selling bundles to lower the demand for the console, and to make a quick buck off desperate people. I also went to best buy last weekend, and they were out of every ps3.

Quick internetz search tells me that Bestbuy, Gamestop and Amazon have stock of the PS3, Target is sold out online and in my area (Minneapolis). However, Amazon has it listed at $369 (120gb) so shortages could be possible.
