PS3 Slim: Sold out at U.S Stores

Just a few days after its worldwide release on Tuesday, it has been reported that the Playstation 3 Slim console is down to ‘extremely limited’ stock throughout the U.S, after many retailers have confirmed that they are sold out.

As reported from GameSpot, it is thought that most GameStop retail stores have had all their PS3 Slim stock snapped up, due to the overwhelming pre-order demand for the 120GB unit.

As most PS3 fans already had their console reserved, it left very little stock for other customers to walk in and purchase one.

One GameStop employee had this to say on the low stock: “I think Sony’s probably trying to keep supply tight, so it will be in high demand like the Wii and the PS3 were at launch”
