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.

On the homepage of some of the sites, why not have the 'top 5' searched for items, people would be interested in what others have searched for say in name or something else!

Wonder why. ;0)

It's called Rogue Leader. It isn't up yet because it's not close enough to launch.

Games that don't exist like star wars: rogue spear don't appear

and games that SR don't have in stock don't appear either! but games you don't have in stock should so you can find out if it is popular and people can read reviews about it!
