Heh, I have two friends that are trying to buy one but can't. Oh well, I think people are buying them for the upcoming summer and graduation.

Why do you think it being sold out in your city is worthy of a thread or news? I mean they can easily be bought on Amazon.com, they have aplenty and that's been the case for several weeks now.

Yeah amazon is a good option but who wanna wait for a couple of days when they can set that up less then an hour from buying it..thats why I didn't buy mines from amazon.. but if you got no chioice go to amazon! Mean while check everywhere, gamestop,bestbuy,wallmart heck Kmart.Target somewhere.

Yeah I ordered my Slim from Amazon. But TC might not have a CC :/ So just keep looking and be patient. It took me a week before I finally found the PS3 in stock on Amazon.

The amount you pay for tax in the store, you could pay less to amazon and get next day/over night shipping. Be foreal!

your right, but I think its totally worth it, 2 different experiences really...to me it just feels better when your up there for something big like this rather then to just order a system online.. But to each there own, when I bought my system the tax wasn't that much don't act like its overly expensive because it wasn't just 5-10 bucks over.. Iam not saying amazon isn't a bad place its an awesome place thats where I buy my games from. It feels good when your actually up there getting your system then waiting for it to come in the mail. Well thats my 2 cents in this thread.

If you don't think it's a worthy thread then why bother to comment? Nothing wrong with asking for some help.

They are in short supply where I live, too. The supply chain is very lean, that's for sure.

There's no short supply..maybe your local chain is but everywhere else there easily available (sometimes those local places only get like 3 in stock at a time).

The tax on a 299.99 machine is pretty expensive..almost $20 in Wisconsin..5.6% Wisconsin sales tax on a $299.99 PS3 is about $16.80..so he'd be paying $316.79. But At Amazon with next day shipping it'd be no sales tax and a charge of $10 or so..or he can get the 2nd day shipping for free only paying $299. And you're wrong if you think a $300 machine is only gonna have a $5 or so sales tax..be foreal! $60 games have like a $4 or so tax on em..so why would a $300 unit be around the same? lol..I know sales tax is different in almost all states..but, the tax is still gonna be considerable unless you live in Delaware where it's like 0% actually

Actually right now on Amazon you can sign up for Amazon Prime for free for a month and it gives you free 3 day shipping on anything.. And you can go into your account preferences and tell them that you want to cancel it after the month and you pay nothing.
