So you did not pre-order the Sony PS3 Slim? Well now the new PS3 is out of stock on Amazon.

Update:
Amazon updated the shipping date. The PS3 Slim ships usually in 1-2 months. This would mean that Sony's U.S. PS3 Slim stock is depleted and they first need to make new ones to fill the channel. Gamestop is still having PS3 Slim in stock and ships within 24h. Update: Amazon has stock of the PS3 Slim again on Friday.

As reported the Sony PS3 Slim started to ship today - one week earlier than initially announced.

Sony said they made enough PS3 Slim for the global demand, but you never know how long that takes now.

The new Sony PS3 Slim features a 120GB HDD and is therefore a better deal than the current Sony PS3 with 80GB HDD, which also sells now for just $299.99. It is a smart move by Sony to make the PS3 Slim the more attractive choice with a larger HDD. The current PS3 will most likely go away as soon as the inventory is cleared out.

The new Sony PS3 Slim offers the same features as the current PS3. The measurements of the PS3 Slim CECH-2000A are Approx. 290 × 65 × 290 mm (width × height × length).
