Cheapest place for the new PS2 please!

Thought you might like to see this from the official Playstation website for the UK:

'We are experiencing temporary shortages of the new Slimline PS2 console. These have been caused by production and shipping delays plus the overwhelming demand that we have experienced for this new machine.


At this time there is no stock of PlayStation 2. However special measures have been put in place to overcome the gap in stock, and we will be re-supplying our retailers at the beginning of December. To avoid disappointment, we will keep customers informed as stock arrives in the lead up to Christmas. Please keep checking with this website in order to receive the very latest information as it becomes available. '

The PS website sell the new console for £104 (£1.99 P&P), but are 'out of stock' at the moment.

If you just want a PS2 and aren't bothered about it being the new 'slimline' version the Playstation site has them in stock at £104 (+ £1.99 p&p) right now.

p.s. - if someone wants to pm me and tell me how to do fancy embedded links so you don't have to see the full messy URL, that would be great.

Seems to be a shortage of the previous PS2 in shops as well. Poss due to people buying them up for xmas as they cant get the slimline one.
If only Sony had given the new model a proper test before releasing it? :-[
