Ask HN: When will PS3 be available again?

Last week I asked y'all if I should get an Xbox or a PS3 -- with 135 responses, I got a 50/50 split between the two! All results here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tQ_S9H40SLxVJ0wwCcSRG3w&single=true&gid=0&output=html

I decided to go with PS3. But, as I discovered over the last 3 days, it's sold out EVERYWHERE. EVERYWHERE! And no one has a clue when it will be in stock again.

Has anyone heard any rumors or have any knowledge here? Googling for info on the shortage is a bottomless pit of crap news. I need a real answer.
