COMPETITION ANNOUNCEMENT:

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. A big thank you to those that took time to enter. A winner will be announced soon. Watch this space...

Glad you're still watching! Very sorry for the delay - there were some really good comments and suggestionss. A big thank you to everybody that took part!

The winner is (drum roll...) er-no! Thanks once again for all your valuble work.

Remember to enter all our other great competitions we have running at the moment.


We've made lots of changes to our Product Search facility.

As most of you will remember we had a very successful Gameaday competition on this a few months ago which was won by Meka_Dragon.

Now that most of the suggested changes have been implimented I would like us to do it again.


This one closes on June 7th

The prize will go to the person who finds the MOST VALID PROBLEMS across our WHOLE PRODUCT RANGE in the SEARCH FACILITY.

If you think you should be able to search on "Horror Movies", but nothing comes up, then add it to your list.

If you think people will mis-spell gran turismo, then add that too - but test it first.

Use short lists if possible but multiple posts will count together. i.e. all your posts on this subject will add up and count towards the prize.

I recommend you read the details of our searching process which you can click to from a link at Site Map. Basically we use the start of a word, so a search on "thunder" will find "thunderball". If several words are combined it must find all.

Er... you know...

'N64 adventure games' doesn't work... I think people should be able to search by:

Platform (ie. PS2) then by....
Genre (ie. Shoot'em up) and finally by
Price

It would make PRODUCT searches a lot better. And much easier for customers and I can't think how much it will help people who aren't so internetually gifted...

If you type in any thing like:

'SSX PS2' you get nothing... surely this should work as people will want to distinguish between the PS2 and PSX games!

Especially with the new Studio/Sony F1 2001 game!

If you type in racing PS2 to get racing titles on the ps2, you only get hardware.

Perhaps have a php cell with game categories in it to pick up the genre keywords.

When you search for a film that has a name in the title, it brings up films that have actors/actresses with that name in the description.

perhaps having a advanced search button would help?
