Is evreyone in the UK trying to buy a PS2 for Christmas?

My old PS2 recently gave up the ghost (died) and I’m trying to get one of the new slim ones before Christmas but it’s impossible.

**[Amazon.co.uk](http://Amazon.co.uk)** won’t get any more till Jan 2005

**Game** won’t get any more till Jan

**Tesco** don’t know what’s going on

**Woolworths** say it’s impossible to get any until Jan

**Xtravision** (Ireland’s biggest vide, DVD and game rental chain) are sold out and unsure if they’ll have more before Christmas

**Ebay** has a few on auction but most of 'em are up to £140 and they all end today

Apparently a shipment of them got stuck in the Suez Canal which caused the delay in the orders. They had to airlift them out!

I’m itching to get my hands on one so I can play Killzone.

Has anyone else had similar problems?
