So the other day gamestop was giving an extra 50 bucks trade in credit for xbox 360s. My friends all have PS3s and I was never too fond of paying for xbox live so I decided I would trade it in and get a PS3. I had always been a Sony fan and only got the 360 back in the day because of the price. But now with the cheap 120gb PS3s and extra trade in value on my 360 it was finally time to drop my 360 and pick up the better system. Well they didn't have a PS3 in stock that day. No big deal, I'll just get one next shipment...

3 weeks later... Why did there have to be a MAJOR PS3 shortage the starting right around the time I was wanting to pick one up?! This is getting pretty annoying and it seems like PS3s are harder to get than a hooker without an STD right now. I just hope to God that I can get my hands on one, even if I have to drive 3 hours, before Red Dead comes out so I can join up with my friends and rock the wild west.

So anyone else having a ***** of a time getting their hands on a PS3 or anything else for that matter?

Nope, there's absolutely no problem with buying PS3 in place where I live (Warsaw, Poland). Every bigger store has it, smaller console-game shops also have it, and of course every Sony shop. Looks like, you're just unlucky, mate.

Wait patiently though. I dunno about X360 since I don't own it, but I know that PS3 is worth it's price.

Can you not take your console in-store, trade it and get a gift voucher that you could use online on their webpage?
Well I checked the gamestop website and they don't even have the 120gb system for sale online. They have some weird bundle pack but fuck if I want all that extra crap for like an extra 100 bucks. God I hate gamestop. Sucks Im stuck with store credit, but the deal was just too good to pass up.

I had a really hard time finding Digimon Rumble Arena 2. I eventually did, but it was a copy that used to be a rental game. It works fine though.

I think your problem is that you went to Gamestop. Seriously, half the time I go in there for one of their special offers they're sold out/not in stock or something. They're like the sleazy pawnshops of the videogame world. I can almost guarantee that if you went to a Best Buy, they'd have PS3s in stock.

Eh I hate best buy even more than I hate gamestop. But yes, gamestop sucks because they have almost gained a monopoly here in the US by buying out EB games. Other than online stuff and maybe walmart, they don't really have any competition so we, the consumers get fucked.
