GameStop/EB Games Restocks Stores with PS3's

In a somewhat surprising newsletter sent to gamers who've subscribed to it, GameStop/EB Games announced that all of their retail outlets have been restocked with PS3's. These consoles aren't being held for pre-orders (I believe the last shipment of pre-ordered consoles arrive next week). A quick availability check around the city of Chicago revealed only one out of eighteen stores had sold out their stock, with most stores reporting a stock of at least four consoles.

What makes this revelation even sweeter is the fact that for a limited time, gamers can still trade in their PS2 system and receive $100 off a new PS3. In order to qualify, you must also trade in a second Sony brand PS2 controller as well as an 8 MB memory card in addition to everything packaged with the original PS2.

Those interested in partaking in the deal should hurry as this offer surely won't last more than a couple weeks. As always, be sure to call your local store to double check that PS3's are actually in stock.

Too bad no one wants them, we have them just sitting in the back of our GameCrazy and no one wants them. I would anticipate a contest for GameCrazy employees here soon for us to try and push PS3's. It's kind of hard to convince someone to drop $600 when it's not worth it.
