While Amazon and Game are just two UK retailers that are happy to take pre-order cash for a shiny (okay, 'matty') new PS3 Slim from anybody in your house including granny, it appears that our chums in the USA are already facing shortages. At least if you believe
Amazon, which says:
"As you may know, the PlayStation 3 120 GB is in great demand, and there are shortages of this product across the U.S. In an effort to provide as many customers as possible with the opportunity to purchase PlayStation 3 120 GB, we are limiting the total number of PlayStation 3 120 GB units that can be purchased. As a result, each household may only purchase one PlayStation 3 120 GB unit. See additional policy details."
Nope, we had no idea there was a shortage. In fact as far as we're concerned, there isn't. In fact,
Kmart in the USA doesn't think so either.
Electronics Boutique (EB), on the other hand, does and is limiting pre-orders to two per household. Then again, we can't even see the Slim at
Walmart.
