Maybe IOI can go in more depth on how it's not in tight supply when
1) You can't get a system on Amazon (without going through a 3rd party and paying abot MSRP)
2) You can't get a system online on gamestop.com unless you want a refurb or a "gamestop made" bundle.
3) You can't get a non-refub system online at bestbuy.com
I know these are only a few retailers, though they are probably the 3 of the biggest 4 (wal-mart). I'm guessing you can use other methods to figure out if they are supply constrained, so maybe you could go into what those are, because by every measurable way a normal person can check, it is most definetly, without a doubt, supply constrained. |
You can to get a system at Best Buy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+PlayStation+3+(120GB)/9476952.p?id=1218115837227&skuId=9476952
The systems ship next day.

You might want to check that link one more time. As I clicked it and it stated it was sold out online. Also when buying a PS3 from Amazon directly, it states that it may take up to 4 weeks before it can be shipped. Target and Wal-mart seem to have a few online, though. Last time I went to my local Wal-marts they each had only 2 on shelves. I think it is pretty obvious the 120 GB PS3 is still supply constrained in certain areas, as well as on some online stores.
Edit: Actually Target doesn't have any online, either. They say "Arriving Soon!" and that it may take up to 4 weeks to ship. Also just did a quick search online at Gamestop. They aren't selling any normal PS3 Sku's. Only their own bundles, and those are limited to 1 per household. Their bundle is a damn ripoff if you ask me. It's $380 and all you get extra is another Dual Shock ($45-55) and a Blu-Ray Remote ($20), so you're actually paying an extra $5-$15 just so you can get a PS3.
