			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Needs and ease of use is the basis for a lot of developments in this world, so since i had a need and i needed to do it easily i decided to start a small project that will hopefully obtain both for me.</p>
<p>The need : To buy games (if possible at the cheapest price)</p>
<p>Ease Of Use : To do it from one common location.</p>
<p>Before going and creating the app and wasting my most valuable time  i did some research. This did not turn out very promising as there was about 1 site(www.pricecheck.co.za) that was able to do what i wanted very basically ,but they did not cover games well and almost not at all at times.Also i needed a location that covered local distributors.</p>
<p>So after finding nothing at all i decided to start with the app and see how far i could go. Well as of now as i write this post i have managed to scrape 3 sites successfully ,kalahari and take 2 for new games and zaps for used games. I have tried to get data from BT Games Site but have been unsuccessful so far.</p>
<p>While there is still a lot to do i now have to power to compare results from 3 different sites at one location.When game hunting this is absolutely useful.</p>
<p>Also the only results that i return are xbox 360 games its not that much different if i needed to integrate other platforms.</p>
<p>If you have any idea please let me know and i will integrate them as i get the time.</p>
