Especially when you can sell it for much more.
Hell yes you can. Used prices on craigslist for PS3's are crazy right now. It's like the demand sky rocketed, and used, are still getting $200 for them.

That's nearly identical to Gamestop prices, which are normally always higher than CL.

Orrrrrrr you could just keep your PS3 (which still has good games on the way), and buy a PS4.

Supposedly they are all over Best Buys, and I actually saw two at the local Target today. If they are regularly in stock now,then the numbers for February and beyond should be an "accurate" view of demand.

He didn't claim they're not moving and XBOnes are selling out regularly.... his story is very easy to believe, the extra elements you added were suspect.
Right, there's a difference between reporting that a bunch of new stock just got in and extrapolating that into a bunch of nonsense and bullshit.

Everything I said was 100% what I was told from the blue shirt. If you guys are so disillusioned that you couldn't believe that it happened in, at minimum, ONE STORE then that's on you. I was also with a friend (Dictionary.com: Friend) who was with me who heard and saw the same stuff. But he's more of a Chive guy.

Blue shirts aren't exactly the most reputable sources either. It coming from a blue shirt doesn't exactly help lend credence to the story....

Even if that was that guy's individual experience, it could just be because like many blue shirts he only works 8 hrs a week to get the discount and only sees the effects of say "Thursday" stock. And PS4 shipments say come in Thursday afternoon right before his shift whereas XBOne come in Fridays and get to sit around a week before his shift rolls around.

To put it bluntly, sure it could happen at one store - but to contrast the overwhelming evidence of MANY stores and especially online retail - "One store's blue shirt" really is a terrible place to start with a "breaking news" item.

Some issues in f2p land, War Thunder on hold for the US.

War Thunder Still no USA Release Date - PlayStation LifeStyle

When Gaijin Entertainment announced War Thunder release for the next-gen PlayStation 4 console, we were going to give pilots using PC and PS4 the ability to play with each other. We are still dedicated to this goal.

The game update that will fully synchronize the versions and enable the cross-play function has already been developed and approved by Sony Computer Entertainment. Unfortunately, SOE didn't finalize its PS4 patching system, and the current one makes its users download all the previously released patches even if we only release a minor one. This basically prohibits us from releasing any new War Thunder content until Sony Computer Entertainment changes this rule.

So as soon as the PS4 patching system gets fixed, we will release the update and do our best to make War Thunder the first PS4 cross-play game ever.

Best regards,

War Thunder team

Asked whether this means there won't be any major PS4 patches until the issue is fixed, White_bada of Gaijin said, "Yes, quite likely

. It does not depend on us at this point. And no online game can afford to force its users download the same several Gb of data over and over again."
re: NA release:

The news gets worse for those in North America who have been waiting for the game, as the War Thunder Twitter account confirmed that "it is already released in the Europe (you can play). We are working with SCEA to make it happen in the USA too. No date, sadly." If you want a reason for the holdup, @WarThunder suggests you "try to politely ask SCEA. I am sure whatever holds it - will be resolved soon."
I've tried this on PC but couldn't really get into it. I know some friends have made UK accounts and are enjoying it quite a bit though so will probably give it another shot when this is worked out.
