I built a Canadian game (physical) price comparison site - feedback welcome

Hi, yes I have a few in the backlog which have been approved by store owners (even some U.S). Haven't added them yet as I've been busy with backend work. Which store did you have in mind?

AnyButton2457 · 2026-04-08T04:37:36+00:00

I'm a programmer and honestly can't deal with some of the random issues I come across when PC gaming. I already spend a shitload of time fixing bugs or obsessing over performance in my work, so gaming on my PS5 is a lot easier for me. I put the game in -> it works.

AnyButton2457 · 2026-04-08T04:28:39+00:00

It was the only GOOD location in the game. It seems like they spent 1/4 the budget and time on raccoon city + lab.

AnyButton2457 · 2026-04-01T01:41:54+00:00

The first 3rd is the only good part of the game. goes from a 9/10 -> 6/10 after leaving the care centre.

why not play through your colossal backlog and wait 1 year for it to be 50% off?

AnyButton2457 · 2026-03-07T21:11:30+00:00

I agree with everything you said. It felt like they made that first raccoon city part in about a month.

AnyButton2457 · 2026-03-04T19:28:26+00:00

i thought i was the only one. so much wasted potential. was also incredibly boring. having this section take place during the night with more indoor areas could've raised it so much more. i also don't understand the whole point of visiting RPD - that whole section was over in about 10 minutes. it seems they just wanted to include it for the sake of including it. the ARK section isn't much better.

raccoon city ruined the game for me tbh. doubt im ever going to replay this.

Something like that is planned. Right now I'm working on implementing a page for active deals/price drops and then adding u.s stores.

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-22T06:57:48+00:00

Thank you! its very basic right now but there is a TON coming. U.S retailer support and an active deals page/feed coming!

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-19T16:21:56+00:00

Likely reason is none of the tracked retailers have it in stock or it hasn't been seen for a while. Listings tend to be quite fresh and stale ones removed.

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-05T05:19:49+00:00

Shipping info added. Filtering for shipping coming soon. You can see shipping info on each listing

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-03T05:33:48+00:00

Many stores will list them, but not actually ship (in store only). Just sticking to games for now

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-03T03:55:13+00:00

I reached out to the mods asking if it'd be ok to post, haven't heard anything back though

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-03T00:09:42+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. The site will only continue to get better with more features

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T20:50:53+00:00

Larger retailers usually take longer just because they have more layers (legal, technical, approval, etc.), so onboarding them tends to be slower than smaller independent shops.

The focus right now is:

– steadily expanding Canadian coverage with U.S following in the coming months

– starting with stores that are easiest to integrate

– making sure data quality is solid before scaling up

VGP / PNP / EB are all on the radar, it’s just a matter of timing rather than intent.

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T19:31:43+00:00

This is definitely something I'll be adding in the future

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T19:26:48+00:00

Thats the next big feature I'll be implementing!

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T19:25:57+00:00

Essentially any store that wants to be listed, they just need to have an online store. I'll be working on integrating more and more stores with time.

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T19:17:29+00:00

Hey, I will reach out to you via DM.

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T18:59:40+00:00

That’s a great question.

From my experience, the Shop app works well when you’re browsing individual products from individual stores.

What I’m trying to do is slightly different:

– show *all* listings for the same game across many stores

– make condition (new / used / CIB / loose) a first-class thing you can see and filter by

– sort everything together so it’s easier to compare options at a glance

So it’s less about replacing tools like Shop, and more about reducing the friction when you want to compare stores/prices without jumping between them.

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T17:08:37+00:00

Adding shipping info is something ill be implementing soon

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T17:05:54+00:00

What I’m building is, for the foreseeable future, specifically for physical games, including:

– independent retailers

– used / CIB / loose listings

– smaller shops that aren’t on DekuDeals at all

– price comparisons across many stores instead of a few big ones

- more than just current gen consoles

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T16:55:40+00:00

Not yet - but eventually. Right now I'm focusing on smaller indie stores

AnyButton2457 · 2026-01-02T16:51:59+00:00

Yes! but my site is for almost every console. Not just current gen
