In EGM this month Jack tretton claims in early january 2007 that PS3 are impossible to come by. During this time they were in stock in a few places. He put a bounty for $1200 if they could find any consoles.

As it stands. The Wii is still very difficult to find. I work in a retail store that also sells videogames (360-ps3-wii) and they just dissapear off the shelves. I have heard reports of people still scalping wii’s them on ebay.

Obviously its been 2 months since chrismas and the price is STILL inflated to 50-100$ over the origional value. I don’t think i’ve ever seen such a huge response to a gaming consoles. The ds lite still fly of shelves as well.

The penny arcade people (bless their souls) did a rare saturday comic rebutting this very redicilous argument.

In ending Ps3 doesn’t look like it will see a price drop anytime soon. I can only say that means certain doom for the ps3 unless things change suddenly.

Jack, you really do need to stop doing these interviews. Your making yourself look like an idiot.

Whoops… too late.
