i spoke to sales rep tonight (12/30) and he said that they do have ps3's in the back and will be available first thing tomorrow morning.
I think this confirms the rumor.

I'm going to wait outside, although i don't think there will be a line very early.
Lucky me.

I went to 2 Target Stores and 2 EB Games stores today looking for a Wii and all four stores had PS3s on the shelf for sale. One guy said they have had them on the shelf since Christmas and had not sold one... Meanwhile, the Wii is still as elusive as before Christmas.

Wait outside? I have been at walmart 3 days straight and the same 2 units are on the shelf. just look around lol

this post is total bs. I work at bestbuy in canada, we have exactly 0 (zero) ps3's. infact the staff purchas list is about 40 people long. If we had ps3's all the staff would have them too. I would think a news site tlike this would at least RESEARCH there posts before telling the whole world a bunch of lies.

Beleave me from one loly geek working at the tech services in the largest retail chain in northamerica, there are NO ps3's at ANY best buy in CANADA. I can't say much about the amrican stores though.

Talked to a rep at BB on Thursday (Maplewood MN) he said they had PS3's in the back but no Wii's. They were getting ready for circular sale.

I went to Best Buy today (Sunday 12/30) at about 4pm local time and they had a 60 gig PS3 available. They announced it over the speakers and I just walked up and bought it. So much for this particular best buy holding inventory.

I walked into Best Buy at 4pm local time today (12/30, Saturday) and they had a 60 gig PS3 available. They announced it over the speaker system and I just walked over and bought it. I guess all of the Best Buys aren't holding inventory as reported.

"I guess all of the Best Buys aren't holding inventory as reported."

It could be that they're selling any over the minimum they need for tomorrow

who cares , ps3 gpu sucks compared to x360 gpu,

ps3 can still have fun games but x360 will have way better looking games,

this story is completely false. I work at best buy and there is no such "embargo". We have 7 PS3's sitting in the back and anyone can walk in and purchase them

Just an FYI - I work for fed ex freight and I can 100% promise you best buy's will be selling PS3's. I've seen and moved over 50 skids [thats 2 ps3's per box, and 60 boxes per skid], just to the best buy's around the center I work at. All of the skids were labelled with big orange stickers saying - "hold for 12/31 Release Ad"

Each store recieved about 2 skids so around 200 ps3's each.

There is NO embargo.

I am the manager of a BB and I have heard of no such thing.

Don't believe this nonsense.

haha. I was in portland last weekend and every EB Games and Gamestop had MULTIPLE PS3's for sale. And no one was buying them. And of course, they were totally sold out of Wii's.

For what it's worth, I've put together a list of links to what I've found to be the best places to buy a PS3 online. If you'd like to check it out you can find it at:
