Excited about the PS3 Slim's release? Can't wait to get your hands on it? Well, according to numerous confirmed reports, the new PS3 model is sitting in Best Buys, Walmarts, and Gamestops across the US. You can head on over to check if it's in stock and you can walk out an owner of a brand new PS3 Slim.

The PS3 Slim is coming out in September. This is true! Unless, apparently, you live in Florida, where residents in two separate towns are reporting that the console is already on shelves floors in their local Best Buys. UPDATED

A tipster sent us this shot from a Daytona Beach Best Buy, where there's already a healthy—and as of yet untouched—stack of Slims, marked at the expected $300 price. Meanwhile, Engadget got a similar tip from Brandon, which is about two hours away from Daytona, where a reader actually bought one. This could've been one regional managerial goof-up, but could equally be two unconnected incidents, and a sign that Sony might've been using the word "September" loosely.

    We got ours yesterday.

    Anyone else see lockups when scanning for an open network using easy connection to wireless? We did 3 times. Hard boot was the only way to clear it.

    Manual settings worked fine.
