"PlayStation 2 - UK Allocation Reduced."

Just got in from work, and thought i would go and check my e-mail. There is one there from a friend at smart groups. com. In the e-mail there is a news story, and that news story said, PS2 numbers have been cut from 200,000 units before xmas, to 165,000 units before xmas. A shortfall of 35,000 units. Only a few of these units will be released on launch day, and unfortunately, an official pre-order, no matter what date you pre-ordered at, is no guarantee of a PS2 before xmas. Each retailer is going to feel the pinch, as all allocations will be reduced.

This information looks official, and is reputed to have come from SCEE themselves. Please anyone out there, PROVE THIS STORY WRONG. I am hoping beyond all hope that this is just a rumour.
