    Re: PlayStation 3: The Comeback Kid?

    I wouldn't want to do a lot on my PS3 browser, anyways.. it just seems sort of sketchy to me. I use it to browse wallpapers sometimes, but that's about it. I would still rather have some sort of browser then no browser.

    As for the PS3 shortages, there are plenty to be had around here. I've seen them at gamestop & wal mart recently, but mainly just the new 250gb. I went through the same thing finding a wii locally. Since the wii released, I can't think of many times I've went into GameStop and they actually have one. I don't understand what the deal with that is... they have plenty of Wii games and accessories ,but never one single console.

So I then go over to Walmart and get the same story, called Target and they are out too, then call Gamespot and they are also out. So the whole freakin city is out and none of them can tell me when they will get any. I am a little shocked, so as soon as I can find one I will have one lol, but what the heck is going on? Is this the same story everywhere?
        wow thats crazy. i work at target and there have been very few ps3's lately. you will find one soon though, dont worry.

        that price drop has been great for sony.
        "on hoping there is a PSN flash sale before Valentine's Day"
        Man there are no flashers... now what are we going to do for vd
        I'm sure there's plenty of prostitutes you could pay if you really want vd.
        yea but will they take psn cards
        Depends on what area of a hooker you would use to redeem them.

        lol

          Yup, and the fact that the finally are marketing it (with some very funny commercials too!) really helps.

            This year will probably be the best year for PS3 exclusives in the history of the system. What started out as a pretty lackluster first party lineup IMO has been vastly improved. GOWIII, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, MLB 10 and the "Preferred Version" of FFXIII will be huge system sellers, not to mention high-quality titles in the 9-10 range.

            Don't get me wrong, I still have my 360, still play it, and still enjoy the first-party titles Microsoft offers (along with "exclusive third party" titles such as Mass Effect 2...for the time being at least), but it seems as if MS is focusing more on fluff and insubstantial stuff recently (with the large exception of what Natal could be). Sony seems to be making a lot more headway with the PS3 which is a good thing, it seems as if they're really making some solid strides in their marketing and brand image after the price drop. A job well done so far I'd say.

                Actually, it's never great to have console shortages, especially when some huge games are dropping. March is going to be huge for them, and they need ps3's on the shelves.

                Having supply problems months after the holiday rush shows that they really underestimated the potential demand for the slim, and it takes time to ramp up production and get them shipped out. There's also some speculation that they are having supply issues for the 120 GB HDD's in the cheaper model.

                    Same problem for me. I was in Gamestop a couple of days ago and was in line, and a kid was in line with his parents and they bought the last Playstation 3 that Gamestop had. I just killed myself. If I would of gotten off work 2 min earlier, I would have an PS3 right now.

                      Add me to the list of people who want to buy a PS3 but simply cannot find one anywhere. I live in a big city too...

                        It's interesting because the number of consoles sole on the NPD isn't that insane. They're selling well but well enough for a shortage?

                        Either Sony is doing this on purpose or they're about to introduce a new SKU again.

                            I think that this is purely insane that there are no PS3's available. Such poor timing for this considering this is their best month in years.

                              Agreed. I have called pretty much every store in my area worth it's weight and no luck at all.

                                Very, very odd. You have two exclusives coming this month, one might be the biggest PS3 game ever and to top it off FF and not a PS3 to be found.
