Lately on Digg and elsewhere there has been discussion of the Playstation 3's availability, especially in comparison to the Wii. At about 6pm today on December 23rd I was at Wal-mart and overheard a man on a cellphone convincing someone it was time to give up on trying to find a Wii. Meanwhile I saw two Playstation 3s sitting on the shelf:

Not only do I believe the picture -and- the comment about the search for a Wii, but I am a Wii seeker and I was at a Fry's electronics in northern California when I spied a large stack of PS3's. A large collection. I said to the salesman, "Dude, can I just -buy- a PS3?" And he said, "Yes. However, note that we require you buy [a bunch of stuff that he partially enumerated] totalling $1200." I turned to my brother, with whom I was shopping, and said, "Even if it weren't that expensive, I still want a Wii." So, if anybody had overheard my conversation, they would have come to exactly the same conclusion as the author of this page. So, I don't know what Wall-Mart's package looks like, but Fry's sells their PS3's encumbered.
