Finding a high-demand item (PS3) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I haven't paid any attention, whatsoever, to gaming in years. But I've recently been teetering on getting back into console gaming, with a PS3 as the first step. I visited a BestBuy several times looking at games, and they always had a healthy stack of PS3 Slims. Then when I decided to buy one, they and everybody else was completely out. Strange luck.

Anybody have any tips on locating a console? I've been given the time and date of shipping truck arrival at two local stores, so I can call them soon after. No luck yet. I'm wondering if I should just go to the used game shop and get a used, older model..

Hah, nice 5 minute response time

It should be noted that the last console purchase I made was actually less than "years" ago, it was on September 9th last year.. seemed like a cause for celebration. Picked up MDK2 along with it.
