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.

alert service will also
receive detailed
comparisons of the PS3

their particular needs
and budgets.
