Do you own a PlayStation 3 Slim already? In case you don’t then you should get one this week. The 250GB PlayStation 3 Slim is confirmed to arrive in the USA on November 3 and it’s said to cost $349.99. That’s just $50 more than the 120GB model. Do you think it’s worth getting it?

It looks like Best Buy is almost ready to sell the console too as the new PS3 Slim has been spotted in Best Buy’s inventory. The picture has been taken in a Best Buy backroom in Houston, not that it matters that much. Most Best Buy stores must have received the console so you’ll probably find the 250GB PS3 Slim in a Best Buy store near you next week. Anyone excited yet?

November 6 is the day when the Droid will be available in Verizon Stores. In case you want to avoid hassles and lines, you can always pre-order the Droid from Best Buy. But if you’re decided to walk into an actual Verizon Wireless store and get your Droid from there then you should know that Big Red plans to open stores at 6AM on November 6. The hour is not confirmed yet but we expect Verizon to take all the measures necessary in order to accommodate as many customers as possible next Friday. So what do you say, are you ready for an early start?

And don’t forget, the Droid Eris will also be available on Friday. You’ll actually have to get this phone from a Verizon store since it’s not available for pre-order.

Earlier this month we told you that BlackBerry Storm 2 dummy units were expected to hit Best Buy retail locations on October 25th. Well, it seems that someone jumped the gun or we had faulty information as it was made known that the dummy units have appeared at both Best Buy and Verizon stores.

Other than the fact that this means the device is almost definitely going to launch soon, you can head to your local store and check out the dummy unit to get a feel for the handset’s physical design. Of course, nothing will work on it so don’t get too excited.

A little while ago we told you that Best Buy is the exclusive retailer of Nokia’s first netbook, the Booklet 3G. At that time no carrier was willing to subsidized the netbook, but all that has changed by now. AT&T is the first carrier that’s going to sell the Nokia Booklet 3G in the USA. The netbook will be available for $299 with a 2-year contract. That’s the cheapest version available with a $60 per month data plan. Other prices will also be available with cheaper monthly data plans and AT&T will also sell the device without a contract for $599. The netbook will be available in just over a week, on October 22, as soon as Windows 7 will be launched. Will you get it?

We’re not surprised to see stuff leaked from Best Buy and this time we have some details about the company’s upcoming holiday releases. And there are quite a few phones there ready to capture your imagination, but also a netbook we’ve seen in the news lately:

• Nokia Booklet netbook - October 25th launch (AT&T activation)
• Sprint HTC Hero - October 11th
• Sprint Palm Pixi - launch date TBD
• Verizon Storm II - launch date TBD
• Verizon Android device - launch date TBD
• T-Mobile CLIQ - launch date TBD

We’re particularly interested in that “new technology which doesn’t exist today” mentioned in the leaked documents and we definitely want to hear more about those BlackBerry and multiple Android phones which will also be available from Best Buy soon. We’ll be back with official prices and release dates so in the mean time you have plenty of time to decide what phone to ask from Santa this Christmas!

Nothing is exactly official right now but it looks like Best Buy appears to be the exclusive reseller of Nokia’s first netbook, the Booklet 3G. The good news is that Best Buy might end up selling it for just $599.99 which is about $200 cheaper than European prices. It’s still more expensive than other netbooks but then again the competition doesn’t have features like Windows 7, SIM-card support or 12-hour batteries does it?

The bad news is that no U.S. carrier seems interested in subsidizing it. You’ll only be able to get it from Nokia USA or Best Buy stores for now. We’ll be back when the Booklet 3G becomes officially available to confirm all these rumors!

Those of you waiting for RIM’s BlackBerry Storm 2 should head to Best Buy stores on or around October 25. That’s the date when the Storm 2 dummy phones will be available in Best Buy phones which suggest the fact that we’re getting closer and closer to the actual release date of RIM’s newest flagship phone. After all there’s no point sending those dummy phones to retailers if the real version won’t be available soon. There’s no official news from Verizon or RIM to support all that but we shall keep our eyes wide open for more Storm 2 leaked info for you.

If rumors are to be believed, we may be seeing the Palm Pixi hitting Sprint on October 20th, just a few weeks away from today.

News comes to us from BGR who were apparently contacted by an anonymous source who told them that the Pixi would be made available in both Sprint and Best Buy retail locations.

Considering the Palm Pre hasn’t sold as well as Palm had hoped, doe the Pixi stand a chance?

What you see above is a screen shot of Best Buy’s product inventory database listing for the BlackBerry Storm 2’s Verizon dummy unit.

At first glance, this may not seem like anything special but once you see that Best Buy is going to stock the unit on October 25th leads us to believe that the actual fully functioning handset will be made available for purchase sometime soon after the 25th.

On another note, BGR has also apparently been told that the Storm 2 will be priced at $599 with no contract. Potential buyers fret not as once the carrier subsidization is factored in, it’s sure to be a lot lower.

The Zune HD has come and it has conquered. Although launched after Apple’s iPod-related media event, the Zune HD quickly became a best seller. It looks like all the major players have run out of Zune HD players for now. At Amazon you’ll have to wait for up to two months to get a 16GB model while a 32GB will be available in up to three weeks. Best Buy has the Zune HD as “backordered” while New Egg has sold out all its available Zune HD. So what do you say Microsoft? How many Zune HD have you sold so far? Did the fact that the iPod touch 3G lacks a camera increase the Zune HD sales? We’ll know more in the near future when we’ll probably be able to compare actual sales figures for both the Zune HD and the iPod touch 3G.

With Apple’s event approaching fast it’s no wonder resellers are preparing for the announcement of the new iPod line.

Besides Sprint, Best Buy is also going to offer you the HTC Hero and you might be better off buying one from the giant electronics provider. Best Buy will be Sprint’s exclusive partner for 60 days and the phone will be available starting with October 11. The phone will cost you just $179.99 with a 2-year new Sprint contract. The best thing about this price is the fact that Best-Buy is willing to waive that $100 mail-in rebate while Sprint will still keep it.

And the phone is unofficially available for pre-order from Best Buy. Some Best Buy locations will let you pre-pre-order for a $50 deposit. Official pre-orders will start in about a week so you’ll be able to purchase your HTC Hero soon.
