Welcoming Amazon

15 December 2008, 22:24

A ‘data’ day today. We have the 800-pound gorilla of e-commerce in the UK, Amazon, now live on the site.

Also cleansed an awful lot of the database in order to get all the products lined up under the right names and formats.

There is still a little work to be done in terms of making sure all the various ‘special’ editions and plastic musical instruments are correctly categorised, but at the moment that info isn’t available on the outward facing site! Although you will see some duplicate shop entires under Guitar Hero: World Tour (360 and PS3) and Rock Band (360 and PS3) for example.

We are gradually getting there. We also now have HMV and ASDA live as of this weekend, you get some surprising bargains when you start adding in as many retailers as you can!
