digitalbattle.com — GamesFirst reports that major retailers like EBGames and GameStop will only receive about 20 PlayStation 3 consoles per store, where they received between 50 and 100 Xbox360 consoles. As many recall, there were huge shortages on the Xbox360. All I got to say is, PS3 fans, what comes around goes around!

i doubt it because Japan uses NTSC... and I think they will use there own market first.

I don't get why this is "what comes around goes around" when the PS2 was in a much bigger shortage for a lot longer than the 360. 360's are already stacked to the ceiling at Best Buy, it took almost a year for PS2 to get to that point.

The Target near where I live were getting shipments of 12 every week or two. They would put them on the shelves Sunday morning and they'd be gone by noon. It went on like this until April ...

I was working for a large PC superstore chain in the UK when the 360 launched, we only got about 9 units (3 prem and 6 core i think), I think the Prem's all went to staff :-) heck there had to be some perk to work for them (i didn't get one mind!) Our morning security guard told us that one guy offered him ?300 to get one and one young lady even offered him "love"!Anyhow at the price that Sony is selling them at the only thing each store can do is make a fat load of money, especially as they are all probably going to be sold as bundles only with games and accessoried bloating the already high price, I for one won't be rushing out to get one at launch, depsite being a PS3 fan up until E3! Once I heard about the price and the lack of choice of system configs in the UK the Wii looked much more appealing, I could get the console, 3 controllers and a few games for the price of the PS3 I reckon!

I don't know why they are shooting themselves in the foot like that! First the price, now this. I hope this is just one of those stupid rumors because... well... I love PS(2) and really want PS3 to do well... though I will NOT be buying one of those 20 PS3s because I do not have 500-600 bucks just throw around and then another 100+ to then buy the games... :/
