all about location. im not denying they arent SOME places with some, but ive yet to find any sitting around for longer than 30 mins, sorry for stating a fact for my area
went to wal mart tonight and they had 1 20 gig and 1 60 gig sitting in the display case. They might have had more in the back, it would appear that that's all their display case can hold.
i can now say, i did see ps3s in stock, there were like 5 of them in at my best buy finally, first time seeing them in stock. how long were they in, not sure.
...or they simply think it's more than it's worth. Most people could afford to pay $20 for a candy bar, but chances are they probably wouldn't....especially if there are cheaper alternatives.
The "they can't afford it" problem is a bigger issue for Sony than it is the consumers who aren't willing to pay the premium to own the system.
uuhh....just cuz' the stores got them in today and while everyone is busy with new year's eve preparation and has no time to buy a ps3 doesn't mean it's a failure.
i've sold 3 ps3's last friday...so people still want them badly.
