Jeff you are so right, I was the fence for a long time with this one. I was tempted to get an A2 when it was on sale for $99. But not knowing how things would come about, I held off. I just bought the 80GB PS3 for gaming and the blu-ray. And so people know how popular the PS3 was, Bestbuy was sold out of the 80GB version in Orange County, CA except for 1 store. I talked to the sales rep and he said the 80GB and regular blu-ray players were selling like crazy.
wow that is amazing!!! But did you also see that at other pointless stores across the nation the 360 is completely sold out as are Wii's?? What does that mean? Nothing! We are sold out of everything but one A35 HD DVD player at our store and they have been selling like crazy. Is that good news for HD DVD? NO... Is it bad news? NO...
Just enjoy your movies and quite trying to rationalize your purchase.
Eh, I wouldn't put too much into that.
80gb PS3's haven't been available here for a while (anywhere within 50 miles, which is about 7 stores). I finally asked a manager at Best Buy what the deal was and when they were getting more in and they said they hadn't gotten any in a month, and weren't expecting to get any more anytime soon because they just weren't able to move them up alongside the 40gb PS3's and the other consoles.
It would seem many retailers are getting in either a lot more (or only) of the 40gb models than the 80 giggers.
Here, there were a lot of 40gb PS3's left (though they seemed to be moving a lot too, so it isn't like they aren't selling), no premium or Elite 360's, and of course no Wii's.
