yeah im sure the production rates will increase, sony wants to relaunch their system, and i think that will be one of the only ways to get them back on track.
they most definitely will have them on the shelves very soon, my best buy store gets them only on thursdays, call youre local best buy and ask them when they get their shipments once you find out, call them about 2 times on that day a week, and if they have one, tell them to hold it for you. or go to amazon.com, thats where i went, sat there for 3 hours clicking the refresh button every 5 seconds trying to get me one, and i did.
try those 2 things and im sure that youll get one,
