According to VG247, Sony's stock shortages are likely to continue for a little while longer - the firm struggling to replenish supplies fast enough.

According to communications exec Patrick Seybold, the US is likely to follow shortages last month - the firm blaming rising and big game launches.

"There is incredible pent up demand for right now and with incredible software momentum right for PS3 with Heavy Rain, MLB: The Show, 2 and III, XIII, so we expect to see inventory to be tight for a bit longer," Seybold told GDC.

"We're working hard with our partners to meet that demand."

Apparently, the 120Gb Slim model is the worst effected. More soon.
