| | Posted: March 22, 2007 4:05 PM | | | | Maybe I'm just overlooking it... why can't I find the button to buy dvds from online retailers anymore? I loved this feature, and wish it would come back... or someone show me where it is.... | | | _________________________________________________________________________

| | Posted: March 23, 2007 11:51 AM | | | | Like Mark I never used the feature - its much better to use a search engine that looks at all the various online stores and compares prices so you get the best deal.
why go to just one retailer? | | | | Paul |

Profiler 2.4 did actually come up with prices from all registered retailers that had the item available so you could compare them. Of course it was pointless to those outside the US, and if it does ever return I hope to see a system that takes user Locality into account. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: April 12, 2007 4:49 PM | | | | Sounds like a cool plugin/button that when pressed launches a DVDPriceSearch webpage with the price list of the selected (or flagged titles) shown, according to whatever your settings were, i.e. favorite websites, etc. | | | | Dyslexics are teople poo. | | | | Last edited: April 12, 2007 6:23 PM by bpatt |

| | Posted: April 12, 2007 6:14 PM | | | | I never found the pricefinder feature of the old version very useful. Frequently it showed prices from sites which no longer had the item available. There was a button or something by which the user was supposed to be able to adjust the information accordingly, but it never worked. |

| | Posted: April 12, 2007 6:29 PM | | | | For region 2, you can use www.find-dvd.co.uk I think RichieRich posted it on the IVS forums, and it is very good. You can setup alerts to send an email when one of your choices drops below a specified amount. | | | Jon
