You could always go buy a 360.

Gears of War is already out.
Lost Planet comes out next week.
Most (not all) of the games you'd want to play on a PS3 are also available for the 360 anyway.

Edited to note: The conversation's obviously spiraled out of topic, especially since the Microcenter HOT deal on the abovementioned 360 is now dead.

Is Buy.com still handing out 12% off & $1 shipping deals? That's how I picked up my 360.

There was a skid of about 30 sitting at my local best buy... no one was buying them and that was Monday evening, they had been there since Sunday morning.

No one cares.

PS3's in my local Walmarts (one regular, other super center) Best Buy, EB, GameStop and Target are all regular sights. I got up early hoping to find a Wii in BB today. They had PS3's left over from last year still. Ironicly, people where circling the Wii isle like a bunch of freakin' SHARKS. I'm seriously getting pissed at Nintendo for not cranking out more units. I have yet to see a single Wii anywhere.

I was in two different stores today and saw plenty of PS3s at both places. Maybe people just don't like the PS3 here. In other news I couldn't find a damn Wii. :p

ps3s are everywhere, if you can't find one in a store you can find one on craigslist for retail price or maybe $20 over, thing is no one really wants them, until Sony comes out with some good games, then they will start selling.

The shortage is over, dude.
This picture was taken right before christmas. (Fry's in alpharetta, GA)

I went back after Christmas and they still had more than half of them sitting in the same cage.

Went to BB on Monday and there was a stack of 20+ sitting there and no one was touching them. Meanwhile just in passing glance I saw 2 or 3 360's get nabbed.

I don't think it's so much of "the shortage is over" as much as people realizing that at the moment the PS3 just isn't as big of a deal as it was hyped up to be.

BTW my boss said that they had Wii's out the wazoo last week at a local BB here in Alabama.
