Oklahoma City, Okla. (PRWeb) November 22, 2006 -- With the 2006 Christmas shopping season underway, the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) and the Nintendo Wii are expected to be among the most popular and scarce gifts worldwide. VideoGameAlerts.com today announced that it has launched a free email service, which will alert consumers when the Sony PS3, the Nintendo Wii and other popular video game consoles and accessories are available at various online merchants and online auction Websites and it will offer up-to-date price comparisons.



James Preston, chief editor for VideoGameAlerts.com, said the service was setup to help save time and money for consumers. He said consumers can sign-up for the free alert service by visiting the VideoGameAlerts.com and submitting their name and email address only.

"We decided to offer our video game alert service so that consumers didn't have to spend countless hours online or in stores searching for these scarce gaming consoles," said Preston. "All consumers have to do is enter their names and email addresses and we'll send them emails as Sony PS3, Nintendo Wii and other video game consoles and accessories become available and we'll send them regular price comparisons so they can make informed decisions on where to buy."

According to Preston, the alert service will regularly update as new merchants offer the PS3 and Wii units and it will also provide detailed reviews of PS3, Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360.

In addition, consumers who sign up for the free alert service will also receive detailed comparisons of the PS3 vs. Xbox 360, the Wii vs. Xbox 360 and the Wii vs. PS3 as well as other video game console comparisons. The comparisons will help consumers decide which unit is the best for their particular needs and budgets.

The Sony PlayStation 3 released worldwide on Nov. 17, 2006 and retail stores across America had consumers lined up to be the first to purchase the popular video game console. According to Sony, about one million PS3 units per month will be released worldwide through the end of 2006.

Launched three days later on Nov. 19, 2006, about 4 million Wii consoles will be available between now and the end of the year. The vast majority of the Wii units are allotted to North America.
