Gizmodo intern Rosa popped into her local Best Buy (in Port Richey) with some clams, spoke with a cashier for a few minutes, then walked out with a brand new PS3 Slim. We’ve also heard that other retailers, including GameStop, are selling the thing early as well, so if you’re dying for a Slim – and a store near you is open – it might be worth heading down and trying your luck.
Kotaku AU Note: If you’ve spotted the Slim in Australian retail, let us know!

I work in retail but havnt seen them in yet.
