kotaku.com— What I can tell you is that the Best Buy near my house had 31 Playstation 3s sitting in a lovely wall o' consoles this morning when I swung by the store. Many, if not all of them, were the 60GB model.

they aren't empty. My local Best Buy has the same exact thing, Wall-O-Consoles. I picked one of them up to see if it was empty, it wasn't. My local Best Buy had 30 of them, and none of them were moving. While I was there I head 2 different people ask about the Wii though.
@mrpacco when they all were forced to have a minium of 32 or 50 depending on their shipment before hand having 13 is kinda selling them not having them sit around. Can't sell out of everything they have every day no matter how long it's been in stock
"@brstilson thats only so people dont play it for hours. they have a time limit on the game. my console has no problems whatsoever."You'd think that A. They'd put up a message that said "time limit exceeded" or something like that, so you know, people wouldn't think the machine freezes on a regular basisB. They'd give people a longer trial time than 45 seconds (the time I was able to play before it froze)Microsoft should use that when selling Vista: "Oh, it doesn't crash, the computer just has a time limit so people don't spend too much time on it!"
I've been seeing these stacks of boxes before the PS3 was even released. It's called a display. The boxes are empty. Now, if you can say that you grabbed one right from this pile and it was a full box, ready to go, then that is a different story. I just doubt that they would stack full boxes like that (especially if you look at the 360 display behind the PS3s. If they get knocked over, there are bound to be a few broken units.

I think they were expecting them to be sold out immediately, so no use locking them up...
