There have been fears that the PS3 Slim will be hard to find this holiday season, but Sony remains confident that the black box o' bitesized Blu-ray will be available for all, and nobody will be left wanting. Don't they usually pretend there will be shortages?
"There are trucks and trailers leaving right now -- it’s on the road," boasts SCEE boss Andrew House. "I will make a prediction there -- I don’t think we will be having too many of those [shortage] discussions with retail."
What do you think? Will the PS3 Slim be a sell-out success with Wii-like shortages across the world, or will Sony be able to cover the demand? Amazon is currently limiting PS3 Slim orders to one unit per house, so that's at least one outlet thinking Slims will be thin on the ground.
Who here is actually getting one?

I wonder how long they've been stockpiling to make such a claim.
Still, good move Sony! Decent price and no Wii-style shortages!
for some reason i still want that slim tho!
As to buying one, maybe next year if the price comes down a bit more. At $200 I'd be really tempted to replace my 60GB with either an 80 or a Slim just to decrease the noise, which has been very annoying with temperatures as high as they've been this summer.
I LOL'ed
I just hope I don't regret it and sell it after a year like I did my 360.
The Wii was an awful *cough*intentional*cough* shortage palooza.
Built in Wifi
120GB HDD
Blu-Ray....
Broke people will always think things are too expensive though, I guess.
Why, you might ask?
Well, it's inspirational to me. If the PS3 can lose weight, so can I!
That, and I rather like the new matte finish and lower power consumption.
