CAG Overnight Price Change Index now in "beta"

Clearly, there is still work to be done, but I figured that CAGs might as well make use of it since it is functional.

Its currently located at www.cheapassgamer.com/videogames.html

It is tracking overnight price changes from the following retailers:

Best Buy
Buy.com
Circuit City
Computers4Sure
CompUSA
EBgames (new and used)
Gamestop (new and used)
Gamefly (used games only)
J&R
Kbtoys
Kmart
Overstock

The feed is updated daily, early in the morning.
Currently, it is showing price drops first (indicated by the green arrow), new products added to the datafeed second, and price increases last (indicated by the red arrow).

There will be additional features and improvements in the near future.

Enjoy!

CheapyD - you RULE. That is an amazing idea and if it is updated daily it will be quite useful. I already spend more time here than actually playing video games...

That rocks, Cheapy. I just wanted to point out to everyone that the prices listed for used games at EBGames.com are pre-code, so if one hasn't used up the AFF25 yet, they will be even cheaper.

I was actually gonna suggest this, but I figured it would be a ton of work and forgot about it. Looks neat.

Very awesome Cheapy, I feel so professional now. It's like checking the stocks in the morning. This site gets better by the day, where's my CAG tshirt!?

Question, would it be possible to make a Pre-Played filter?

I see the price drops and retailers, but I don't see the names of the games that dropped in price. Will those be there in the future?

You are probably using some kind of ad blocker which is preventing the links from appearing on your PC.

You probably don't see the "Cheap ass links" and most of the photos on the front page too, right?

Excellent job! This site gets better everyday! Couple of suggestions for improvements:
1) Being able to sort by name, price drop, or sale price.
2) Maybe the ability to put some of the games that you really want to buy on a "hotlist" so that only those games show up.
3) Ability to sort by PC Games, GC, PS2, Xbox, etc.
4) Does the list include coupon codes/rebates, etc?
5) Can it show if it is sold out or not?
I understand that some of these suggestions may be out of your control, but they're just suggestions. Keep up the good work!
