PS3 Slim now for sale

While the whole world eagerly awaits the September launch of the PS3 Slim, Best Buy must've gone, "Why wait? Get it here now." Readers out in Florida, better check your local retail shops right now, this one's for real. The PS3 Slim is now up for sale.

Gizmodo Intern Rosa actually went to the Best Buy at Port Richley and managed to get one. Gizmodo was also tipped off by a GameStop employee who noted that they have authorization from the higher ups to start selling the PS3 Slim today.

I work at one of the Best Buy's in Tampa. We got a notice in our system yesterday that we were getting the PS3's today and that there was no street date on them. No snafu here. Don't know about other districts but we were told.by corporate we can sell them today.

So folks in Florida will have a good night's sleep today, while store staff will have to brace themselves for customers tomorrow. Won't hurt to check our local retailers, they might be doing the same.

Thanks to our reader, Kerry Stover, for the tip-off!

That's MY name! But yea, i work at a best buy in North Carolina and we're selling them now, so it is a company-wide kind of thing. Maybe Best Buy will pull the same stunt with the pspgo.... Oh, and if you purchased a "fat" ps3 within the last 30 days, you can go to a best buy and get either killzone 2, MLB the show or Infamous for free, since we can't swap out your system for the newer one. Just an FYi

That is my best buy it's about 3 miles from me. I will have to go check it out and confirm it.. but I can say that, that best buy is famous for breaking release dates. I picked up GTA4 about 3 days before it was supposed to come out there.

...seeing how they are planning on shutting stores out of software sales when the PSP Go! is rolled out.

# Maybe no more DVD Driver Crash and BD-Driver Crash... I Guess......... — Alexandre Peixoto de Andrade 2009-08-26 14:30

TN has them too.

# No pictures but... — Sembazuru 2009-08-26 15:36

I can verify that I saw some Slims on the shelf at a Delaware BestBuy I was at on the way home from work. Must be company-wide.

# Confirmed! — billybro1999 2009-08-27 11:07

confirmed! I went to this exact best buy last night and they have it! not that it means anything to me as i have a launch 60gb. personally I prefer my shiny spiderman logo'd version to a slim anyway. the new logo makes it look like a slim ps2..... and kinda generic.
