Backordered: This means that the company would normally have that item but it is not in stock (they don't have it on the shelf so they can't send it to you) but they have organized that the manufactorer will deliver certain amounts of that item to them on a regular basis, so when the next shipment arrives then the company will fill your order and send it to you.

When will Sony ship ps3 120gb to retailers?

The PS3 slim has been available since September 2009 and the demand has been high enough for it to continuously go on backorder for the PS3 120 GB and even worse for the PS3 250 GB model. Many retailers are using the PS3 250 GB models for bundle sales and it is becoming more difficult to purchase them for the USA retail price of $349.99 rather than in a bundle with games and accessories. Amazon is taking pre orders for shipment next week. Gamestop is only selling bundles of both consoles. Sony Style. com is not letting you order the 250 GB model and placing the PS3 slim 120 GB model on Backorder. Walmart is out of stock of both PS3 slim Consoles.
