Ahh.. what would Christmas be without a shortage of consoles? However, this time Sony claim they have a very valid reason...

"A number of factors have led to the this situation," said Reeves. "The Suez Canal was closed for two weeks, with 104 boats on it. We were number 67 in the queue."

Although the UK and Ireland are suffering the most, virtually every European territory has apparently been hit by shortages of the new model as gamers snap it up. Reeves went on to explain that although Sony is making every effort to meet demand by diverting stock from other territories, it faces a number of legal hurdles as it is not allowed to re-label stock from other territories for distribution over here.

In fact, the situation has become so acute that Sony has drafted in massive Russian Antanov transport planes to airfreight in fresh supplies from Middle Eastern and Eastern European countries, to satiate an ever-hungry public.
