US Facing PS3 Shortages Retailers Such As Walmart, Best Buy, Gamestop Are Out

Sony Computer Entertainment America have warned the US market that retailers may face a shortage of PlayStation 3s as popularity grows.

Recent NPD figures have been extremely positive for the 7th generation hardware despite the fact that the market as a whole has seen a decline. The next few weeks will see one of the PlayStation’s busiest periods in terms of exclusive game releases as highly anticipated titles including Heavy Rain and God of War III prepare to launch.

Sony’s communication boss, Patrick Seybold, said: We’re working very hard with our retail partners to meet consumer interest, but the demand is tremendously high for the PS3 and we expect tight inventory in the coming months… There’s no word on whether or not this “tight inventory” will also effect other territories but looking on the positive side, it’s a clear sign that the PlayStation 3 is starting to gain an even larger portion of the market with well over 30 million units sold worldwide.

It’s still well behind the Wii but the difference between the 360’s and the PS3’s worldwide numbers is decreasing.

Old Nintendo game sells for $13,105 | Family & Fitness Stadium Events

"A woman had an old Nintendo and a few random games for sale. Turns out one of them was a super rare collectors dream game, so it went for around $13,000!"

"Up for auction is an original Nintendo NES gaming system with 1 hand control. There are 5 games with it. They are, Family & Fitness Stadium Events in the original box with the dust jacket inside of the box, Major League Baseball in the original box with the dust jacket inside of the box, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 the arcade game in the original box with the dust jacket inside of the box, Super Mario 3 in the original box with the dust jacket inside of the box and the original game, Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt.

I have had this stored in the closet for years for my kids to play but the way that electronics come & go and change from one year to the next they wanted all of the new hot items of their own now and now it's time to get rid of things that are no longer being used or wanted. This system worked perfect when i stored it but somehow over the years, we have managed to misplace the AC cord & the television hook up. I am listing this and selling without hook up but it I find them, i'll send them along with the rest at no additional charges to you.

Please keep in mind though that any ac cord will work with this and the hook up from a VCR would hook it up just as well as the original cords"
