Findaps3.com Helps Subscribers Find Playstation 3 for Christmas

Chicago, IL, November 29, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Sony released the Playstation 3 on November 17th, 2006 in the United States with fewer than 400,000 available units (some being reserved for returned defective units).  The US population currently stands around 300 million, meaning that a little more than one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of US citizens were able to get their hands on a PS3 (400,000 units / 300,000,000 residents).

Those who truly coveted the system found themselves paying upwards of $2,600 on eBay, or paying cash (reported up to $600) to trade places with capitalists in line at their local Best Buy.  Others braved the cold and waited in line outside retail outlets while risking injury or death.  Even others found pleasure by purchasing the coveted gaming system, opening it 100 feet from a Best Buy entrance, and smashing it to pieces with a sledge hammer – to the ode of jeers from the hundreds waiting in line.  It was truly a tragic movie-like experience for those involved.

Fortunately, Sony has announced its plans to release an additional 600,000 units by the end of the year.  It’s near impossible to know which retail outlet will receive what when, but there are other options available.  If you prefer not to stand in line for over 24 hours, the website www.findaps3.com may be your competitive advantage.  Findaps3.com, owned by The Vintage Network, features an innovative web-spider technology that allows visitors to sign up to receive e-mails and text messages on their cell phones (between 7 a.m. and midnight CST) when a Playstation 3 is found in stock on a retail website.  We all want Playstation 3 for Christmas, but only some of us will have one.
