Only yesterday it was revealed that BestBuy, GameStop and other large retailers were going to provide the PlayStation 3 Slim 120GB model with 2 games or more for the standard price of $299. As expected, sales of the exclusive Black Friday bundles have been staggering as consumers across the country rush to get their hands on Sony’s next-generation platform. The exclusive PlayStation 3 Black Friday bundles have officially sold out nationwide. Amazon, BestBuy, GameStop and Walmart are all reporting a total sellout both online and in-store as well. It only took roughly 8 hours for the bundles to sell out, and while a few remote retailers might still have a few bundles available, the future looks grim for anyone who is interested in picking up a bundle and hasn’t already. Sony’s PlayStation 3 console has managed to sell record numbers worldwide since the official Slim announcement back in August this year. With the PlayStation 3 Slim once again on the top of the hot seller list of Amazon.com, this holiday season is already looking to be an outstanding success for Sony. Man, everywhere I went the deals were sold out. I went to two radioshacks and called 5 of them and all of their Dualshock 3s were sold out. They were only $29.99... Oh well.

I object to your claims Posts: 15,025 Group: =SB= Queens Member #9,640 Joined: January 9, 2009 Gender: Female Country: United States of America 3DS Friend Code: 1891-1489-0768 Nintendo ID: Agent_Blaire Game Currently Playing: Yoshi's Island	Wow, impressive. This could help give Sony a bit of an edge in the console war.

That's the only reason why I was considering getting one over my tablet. It's not a total complete sellout either... since that same Best Buy still has 3. xD

The Best Buy bundle is different from the Gamestop's version too. Every major retailer had a different bundle practically, but like it said a few stores might have some left but most are gone.

They got Freddy. Poor Freddy. Posts: 5,845 Group: Former Monarchs Member #1,038 Joined: May 13, 2007	Yeah, working at Best Buy, we sold quite a few of those bundles, they stopped showing up in lines after a few hours. Must've sold out pretty quickly there too.
	NEVAR FORGET

	I'm a gamer and always will be a gamer. If you don't believe me. I have 430 Video Games and 19 Consoles. I doubt you could beat that unless you are a gamer as well! =P So, let's see if you can outdo "The Jet Gamer"

We are still watching Posts: 3,486 Group: =SB= Kings Member #3,975 Joined: November 29, 2007 Gender: Male Country: United States of America Steam ID: cy-fox	I was just reading about this earlier but it appears that even with the Black Friday rush that the PS3 can't rival Windows 7 as far as positive reception upon the beginning of sales. In comparison with one of its own titles as far as reception goes, it can't light a candle to Modern Warfare 2. "It does everything" Everything? Well, take two aspirin and call me in the morning when they're capable of playing the likes of Counter-Strike Source, StarCraft and other PC exclusive titles. Matter of fact, call me when they put Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 on it and bundle an overpriced keyboard with it.

I don't know where I'm going.

It took me 4 hours in line to actually get a bundle. It came with some Batman game and another game called Infamous. The line was ridiculously long.
	Facebook \| Twitter \| YouTube Hey there party people! I started a gaming YouTube channel! I'll be posting all my latest vids in the signature. Keep up with them! Sonic Crossroads 6 years ago, I began a fangame project called "Pure Shadow". I cancelled the project due to lack of time and other priorities. Now that I'm in college, and have loads of more time, I found the file and began to pick it up again. After refreshing my memory of all the coding put into the engine, I decided to use it to write a new project. Drawing out a new plot and new gimmicks for the project, I decided to rename this project called Sonic Crossroads. This project is going to be completed in Game Maker 8 PRO coded by myself and my friend who goes by the alias, MastaaFrederick. Because of our lack of experience in many aspects to increase enjoyability (such as music, artistry, animation, etc.), we want to develop a small team to work on this project. Anyone who is interested, please message me. On top of these things, we want to create a new antagonist for the story. We, MastaaFrederick and I, need a whole new character concept. We want the most creative fan character we can find, and create a sprite sheet for this character. We would like to find a character via messenger. Demo for the fangame coming soon.

It took me 4 hours in line to actually get a bundle. It came with some Batman game and another game called Infamous. The line was ridiculously long. Infamous is a great game, lucky you for picking it up. 4 hours is a super long time though, I don't know if I'd have the patience! I stood in a line for 3 hours once just to turn in an application(yes there were that many people applying) and I don't really think it's worth it anymore. I'd rather just show up a day early with a tent. Cy-Fox I was just reading about this earlier but it appears that even with the Black Friday rush that the PS3 can't rival Windows 7 as far as positive reception upon the beginning of sales.

Matter of fact, call me when they put Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 on it and bundle an overpriced keyboard with it. Well call yourself when any console can do that. The slogan is obviously not meant to be taken seriously, it can't toast your bread or make breakfast for you and you can't compare it to Windows 7 either... Modern Warfare 2 is a disappointment to many who were fooled into the hype. Besides Uncharted 2 got better reception than MW2, MW2 is on PS3, so.... your point?
