“Hunting for a copy may require a little extra footwork” ahead of new stock next week
Having shot straight to number one in the ELSPA GfK Chart-Track All Formats Top 40 this week, Sony has revealed that landmark PS3 release Heavy Rain is suffering shortages on the UK High Street.
However, Sony hopes to have got extra stock into the channel by next week.
“We have been extremely delighted with the demand for Heavy Rain,” an SCE UK spokesperson told MCV.
“Whilst it isn't out of stock we are aware that supplies are running low. There is still supply in the chain, but I'm afraid if you're hunting for a copy it may require a little extra footwork. There will be more stock arriving next week.
“In the meantime we thank everyone for their excitement and their support for this title and also for their patience if they are still seeking a copy.”

PS3 not working!
Yer like the will sell, if your PS3 is not working your not going to buy games!
Just watch as people return PS3 under Sales of Good Act.
As such this story is NOT that important.
LOLFAIL
You need to chill out aMIGA_dUDE. The PS3s are not permanently broken - and a patch is due out today. ZOMG ZOMG RETURN PS3S QUICKLY!! /facepalm
wtf?
aMIGA_dUDE, why does your comment even exist? You make no sense. At all...
Anyway, glad to see strong sales. Here's hoping this pushes for more of the genre.
heavy rain online trophies
I have played Heavy rain on a promo version since monday last week. I finally got it completed last night. I turned it on this morning around 10:15GMT to find all trophies deleted for heavy rain and the system now will not even load the game. The same error code of "8001050f" and "trophies not registered".
So now board i play fallout 3 GOTY for and hour go back to PS3 home screen to find i have lost all trophies of this game too.
Beware of logging in to PSN
Plus as an indie we have had 50% of our copies returned today. Gutted
I loved it
I will not be trading my copy in any time soon. I want to discover all of the other paths the game can take. I was destroyed when it ended and really couldn't believe the outcome. I would encourage people, who are open minded, to buy this and find out for themselves how amazing this game truly is.
