			<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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So i finally plucked the courage yesterday and bought my brother the xbox 360 mongoose edition.Based on the way the rest of the world was treating the poor thing i thought i had made a big mistake .</p>
<p>After picking it up the urge to unpack unfortunately i had to wait to get home to do that, the packaging is awesome by the way never seen box art like that before. I would have like to taken some unpacking pictures but unfortunately my brother was all over the console before i could say anything.</p>
<p>After all was unpacked and setup i must say it actually looks stunning in the flesh with the gold cutting in the right places to give a nice finish. Although i havnt opened the hardware it self i must say that it is a lot quieter than my other xbox 360 pro.</p>
<p>While the console didn come with any games added to the package it came with 2- 3 gigs of demos which i think wasnt too bad. But fear not my timing was spot on in that the day the xbox arrived 2 of my other games i ordered a while back arrived as well .So we got to play COD4 and Star wars on the new console as the opening games.</p>
<p>COD 4 Really amazed me , i have been playing it since it came out on the pc and have another of my buds bought the game for the 360 i thought i might as well take the plunge and get it as well. I cna definitely say i am not disappointed besides for the game play and other cool things the xbox version has one really awesome advantage in that it supports upto 4 player multiplayer on one xbox .And man is this fun , now i need to get me another controller and we can system link the game which i think will make for some good team games.</p>
<p>So wish me luck and may my i get many more controllers so that we can system link more.</p>
<p>P.S. if anyone is selling a bundle of controllers please let me know asap as im not really gona buy new ones</p>
