Shoppers who did not have the foresight to pre-order a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One may be left out in the cold this upcoming holiday season. Both the PS4 and Xbox One have already sold more than a million consoles worldwide, making stock impossible to find. However, some savvy holiday shoppers have been able to nab a next-generation console using the whohas.it iOS app.
The whohas.it app allows users to receive free mobile notifications, emails and desktop alarms when out of stock products like the PS4 and Xbox become available for sale through any retailer. The app is simple to use: Just download it for free from the Apple App Store and create a free account. Navigate to "Search" and locate the item(s) you're looking for then tap the "Follow" button. You can then choose to receive "Web Alerts," "Email Alerts," "Mobile Alerts, or all three. The app will then alert you when the item you're following becomes available for purchase or pre-order.
Shoppers have been able to buy both the PS4 and Xbox One without having to pre-order by using the whohas.it app, but it's still not easy. Various retailers have been releasing small batches of stock only to see it sell out in minutes, and scalpers are already listing both consoles for upwards of $1,000 on eBay.
Finding a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is only going to get harder as the holiday shopping season nears. The whohas.it app is a great tool and extra insurance policy for desperate shoppers, or busy moms and dads who don't have time to go store-to-store looking for a console. This is also one of the best ways to help you locate any hard to find item on your holiday shopping list this year.What are you waiting for? Download the whohas.it app now, and start hunting.
