The PS3 is currently in stock at...

amazon.com
barnesandnoble.com
bestbuy.com
buy.com
circuitcity.com
gamestop.com
newegg.com
toysrus.com
walmart.com

...just to name a few places. Of course, the average consumer has probably never heard of any of these specialty retailers.


 We are talking about 80gb units, which are sold out and will not hit stores until June last i heard when the MGS4 bundle will hit.


So you're claiming that hundreds of thousands of people are in the process of waiting 2 months so that they can pay $50 extra and get a larger hard drive?

PS3 RSV2 sales were worng, it still sold poorly, though.

Vegas 2 number is wrong.

[360 Guitar Hero III] = 121.2K
[360 Lost Odyssey] = 65K
[NDS FFCC: Rings of Fate] = 67.3K
[PS3 Hot Shots Golf 5] = 36.2K
[PS3 Rainbow Six Vegas 2] = 154.7K

some peole are waiting 80 gb and mgs 4 pack



these are from IGN:

Call of Duty 4 PS3+360 = 390k
Rock Band PS3+360 = 300k
Guitar Hero 3 All versions = 631k

 From one of my friends that works electronics retail, several people decided not to get a PS3 after he told them about the bundle coming later.  I would expect some spring loading effect come June 12th.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
