They are impossible to find in most stores, at least in my area.

The daxter bundle is selling for 270-300$ on ebay.

very true.
 
If shortages shouldn't be listed, no one should post Wii systems in stock, either. I know that just about everywhere you look, you see the new Slims backordered.

QFT

I hope to see people jump all over an OP's case next time he/she posts about GH3 or Rockband in stock.
 
It is true about PSP selling surpringly well. I suggested either PSP core or Daxter bundle as a gift for me, and in the past couple weeks it had been generally hard to find or very quickly selling when available.

The Star Wars bundle is and was the exception, often in stock while the others went oos quickly.

Local shortages shouldn't be listed that is.
Walk into any Electronics store in any Major U.S. city and tell me you cannot find a psp.
Wiis (at the moment) are just a bit tougher to find.
 
I think the issue is that any PSP -without- Darth Vader on it is hard to find.

To many (me included) the Darth Vader version may as well not exist. I'd rather do without than own one with it.
 
If there wasn't a shortage and it was in low demand then ebay prices wouldn't be almost 100$ over retail on the item, theoretically ebay prices should be lower than retail on an item if its in low demand. This shortage isn't on the level of the Wii shortage but its a shortage nonetheless. Even the sony store was backordered on the PSP slim yesterday.

I would also rather do without the PSP than purchase the star wars bundle, but thankfully I managed to get an order in for the daxter one without paying ebay prices, and I like the silver color.
 
Yeah.. I was a little confused as well. Ive seen PSPs in every electronics section of every store i've walked into over the past week or so - about a half dozen stores - in the chicagoland area. I'm not bashing the OP - just saying this shortage is completely news to me.
 
The Daxter bundles are getting hard to find around here. I was watching a couple on Ebay and the results are ridiculous.

Thanks for saving me some $ and the time that it was going to take to scour the local B&Ms this weekend.
 
I didn't realize that these were that hard to find. It's probably just because of the Holiday rush. I haven't had any trouble finding those. I was in the WTF crowd with this too.
 
I am not sure why they are hard to find, last year they were everywhere during the holiday season (heck the psp was the only system you could buy on christmas eve around here!), so I am guessing its either retailers underestimated their stock or the demand for the slim psp is more than expected.
 
I think the demand might have been slightly higher than expected, probably driven by some of the big name titles have dropped recently. Also, I believe a solid number of PSP owners traded in their older models for the Slim one. For me, it was worth taking the hit, because no-hassle video out was something that really hurt the original PSP model.
 
Yeah, I'm in the group that sold their fatty psp for a slim. I had no idea it would be this hard to find, so I'm definitely guessing that the demand is just really high for it, which is great. More sales should mean more quality games.
 
if you are interested in the core, check your GOLD BOX , i have the core black one for $161.49 (5%) off in mine.
 
[quote name='Rozz']I saw tons of the Star Wars bundles at my BB.[/quote]

Yup, thats the only one I've seen in stores lately. Nobody seems to want it lol.
 
Yeah, I'm usually a sucker for anything limited edition but that Star Wars one definitely meke me not want to buy the slim. I've been considering the slim but I was reading the back of the package of one of those av cords that allows the video out to the tv and it says that games won;t show up on tv, only the umds will be on tv. Is that true?
 
The PSP has been OOS for a long time (Core & Daxter) both B&M & Online. I've been trying to get one for weeks (and a decent deal) and TRU, Target, BB, CC, Amazon, Walmart, Gamestop, Barnes & Noble have all been OOS and then got restocked but sold out very quickly. Unless you want SW bundle.

In order to play games on a television, you need a television that does progressive scan and the component cables.
 
[quote name='dragonjud']Wow, this is such not a deal. Local shortages shouldn't be in the Deals section.[/QUOTE]
If the Wii qualifies as a deal on the same grounds, why not the PSP? They're also quite hard to find (obviously not like the Wii, but still)
 
i've been trying to figure that out for the past couple of days also. PM me if you find out and I'll do the same for you.
 
There were some cases on dealextreme.com that looked like the playgear pocket and were for the slim, but I was unsure how good they were so I didn't order.
 
I just called the Target down the street and they have 2 Daxter bundles and "a ton" of the SW bundles. If they're that crazy rare, I'm thinking it's eBay time? Man, PSP, WTF..

If you read the thread, nobody is saying that the SW bundles are rare. Daxter PSP bundle is going for ~$230 plus whatever shipping you charge on ebay, so it's not really worth trying to sell considering the fees involved, at least not via ebay.
 
Piano black has been more difficult to find around me, but Daxter and Star Wars bundles are everywhere. I guess if you are having trouble finding a slim, then here's a good opportunity.
 
[quote name='A Happy Panda']Umm. I'm pretty sure if I spent an hour driving around, I would come back with at least 7-10 Daxter PSPs and countless SW ones.[/quote]
I doubt anyone would say otherwise. Not the point. No one is trying to say this is "ZoMg, you can't find it" rare. It's still difficult to find, though. If I walk into just about any store anywhere that normally deals in gaming consoles, I can find a PS3 or a 360. You can't do this with a Slim PSP. Unless you want the SW bundle, of course.

I'm not bitching at the OP, I just find it interesting that these are in short supply in some areas.

its called clarifying information, not bitching.

PSPslims being rare is a bogus ebay hoarding byproduct, they are only rare if you are lazy

Not true. In some areas PSP Cores & Daxter packs have been quite rare. I checked CC, BB, Amazon, Costco, TRU, Target, Walmart, Kmart, Barnes & Noble, Gamestop the past few weeks and Core & Daxter were never in store & always OOS online & online indicated stores were out of stock too. Sure they did restock occasionally, but then sold out very quickly again.
