Hi all, as well as my dvd price comparison site, I now have a games price comparison site at http://www.search-games.co.uk

Looks good - my personal preference would be to centre the page but like I say thats down to personal preference.

Only thing I would say is that on the homepage at the bottom the graphic linking to your DVD site has gone a bit pixellated - my guess is that it needs to be a bit wider.

Yeah its been stretched probably in terms of width and height. That must not be the natural size of the original.

Apart from that looks good mate.

I like it - in fact Ive just used it to buy a PSP game
Could do with getting play.com & cdwow in there though (at least they didnt show on the game I searched for)

[mattylamb]

cheers for the commission mate

yeah, play and cdwow are both on there, maybe they just dont stock that game

[mattylamb]

yeah i need to redo that image. thanks for pointing it out

Nice site, don't forget to update your copyright to 2006

Dude, you forgot to put the platform in the search results from the top search bar. In fact, you haven't done it on any of the pages. It's ok for me - I have a different site for each platform so people always know where they are, but yours can be confusing - the platform isn't always in the game description from medifusion, and you can't rely on the image to identify it (some of the games on my xbox site have PS2 images). You have also used the same default image from your dvd site for when there is no product image - fair enough if they were all PS2 and XBox games, but GBAs don't use DVDs.

Really nice design.

One thing I found frustrating when I searched "tiger woods" in the top LH box, it took me to a page displaying plenty of Tiger Woods games but it doesn't say which platform the games are for. I know the images have logos on them but that involves more clicking.

Only a minor gripe - and didn't stop me buying PGR3 for the 360!

Reads last post...That's what I said!

You might also look at how you sort the results for general browsing - at the moment it's just returning them in "release date order" which can lead to you displaying products which are in the medifusion feed but aren't stocked by anyone. Switching over to "best deal amount" or "best deal percent" will shunt all the results with no suppliers to the very end of the list, and encourage the user to look at he best deals first - comparison sites are meant to find the best prices after all!
Results for a specific search should use the default though, to ensure that the best match is at the very top of the results.

Very nice,

My only comment would be that, for me anyway, the colours are a little bit too fierce.
