We've been hard at work on a price search engine and would love some feedback on what features you'd like to see.
We have plans to add in online store reviews and information. And our DVD review database will also be linked.
We'll be implementing the price search engine in stages, gradually adding new feature sets.

A site that I check as reguarly as as DVDTalk is fightdivx.com. That guy really churns out some good coupons as well as highlighting sales, bargains etc.
I think that for porn the thing to do would be to get as many of the sites linked up as possible. I find some of the best deals sometimes on sites that aren't necessarily X sites. (Lasersedge for one themovie-store.com is another).
I also check dvdpricesearch.net not for X but for mainstream. Having both a new releases and future releases listing is extremely helpful

thanks for the input. we'd like to include as many stores as possible - but it depends on their capabilities more than anything.
we definitely want to have new releases and future ones - hopefully we can get this data (or we're in for a lot of data entry )

The ADT price search will include all of the basic functionality found on the mainstream DVD sites. We've got a few other unique features planned as well.
We already have two stores online and indexed into our database. We are waiting for a few other stores before we go live with the site. Progress on the price search will be posted at [url=465344] [invalid URL removed].
I'm curious to know if many people use the 'shopping cart' order comparison feature of maintream price search engines. I personally find these things cumbersome and sometimes confusing. Would this be helpful for adult DVD retailers. It's something that we could do for the ADT price search if there is interest. At the moment it's not something we are planning on doing.

Absolutely. I rarely if ever order only one DVD from a site b/c of the shipping. It's good to factor in shipping. I hope your comparison engine will do that as well. Some adult sites, like Excalibur and adultails have ridiculous shipping charges

"I'm curious to know if many people use the 'shopping cart' order comparison feature of maintream price search engines."
What is that exactly?
I would suggest some method of rating the reputability of the sites. A certain site may have the lowest price but that isn't too good if the site makes mistakes on deliveries or fails deliveries, etc.

The "shopping cart" feature allows you to add a bunch of titles into your "cart" and then price the whole lot out at various stores. So you can determine the best overall deal, including shipping and taxes, for the whole cartful, not just individual titles.

Interesting. It DOES sound like a helpful feature, but I've never used it in my many trips to DVDPriceSearch. I suppose I always thought that the cart function was for people who were ready to purchase--and I tend to do my price searches fairly far in advance, when I'm still just browsing for titles...

DGF - Steph and I were just discussing something very similar to what you have suggested. We agree that providing consumer feedback and store reviews is just as important as finding a great price.
We've got a lot of ideas on how to implement this feature. At first we will have a basic text-entry form where people can freely comment. In the future we will develop a full survey and rating system similar in concept to BizRate but specifically tailored to the adult DVD business.
AlanBenson - Your feedback is very similar to comments that we have received from many people. It's a nice feature but most people just don't use it. I've been thinking quite a bit about how to implement a total order comparison feature for the ADT price search. We will implement it in some fashion just not with the initial launch.
How does everyone feel about price searching titles by performer, studio, or store? I think it would be great to see a list of everything my favorite performer is in and then click over to a store that I am comfortable purchasing from. How about: "what's the best deals at Adult DVD Empire?" Or: "I like Private's titles but not everyone carrys them. A quick list of stores carrying Private titles would be great. Then I could click the store link to view prices of all Private titles without ever leaving the site."
There are many ways that we can develop the price search to be a great shopping tool. We want it to be far more versatile than simply finding someone the best price on an item.

Just bringing this thread back to the top for any additional feedback.
The [url=466355] Price Search </A is just about ready and will launch on March 15th. You can see the current list of stores in the price search on the [url=466355] home page </A too.
