Not sure if anyone would find this useful but I figured i'd post it anyways since someone may want to use it.
I had a rather large list of games that I wanted to check the prices on to see which was the cheapest. I didn't know of an easy way to check them all at once so I made a script to do it for me. It's written in PHP and HTML. It would need to be run on a server with PHP installed. That's very common these days so it wouldn't be hard to find.
It's nothing complicated and I commented the crap out of it in case anyone wanted to edit it. Probably more comments than actual code. I know there's a million different (and probably better) ways to write this but I wasn't going for perfection.
To use it, just copy and paste the code in to a file and name it <whatever>.php then upload it to your PHP enabled server and run it. I tried to make it in a way that would be easy (sort of) to add additional sites for anyone who wanted to do that.
If anyone wants to use this you are more than welcome to do whatever you want with it and even claim you made it for all I care.
