Another nice addition would be for the title in the Comparison Cart to remain a live hyperlink so that we could do a real quick price comparison on an individual item in the list.

I actually use it as a list of titles I'm looking at buying, a large shopping list if you will, with additions and subtractions. That way I don't need a pen-and-paper list, and I can access it without a problem (and order) from any of my computers.

When it's time to actually place the order, I transfer the cart, cull whats not in stock, then cull again down to my shopping budget of the day.

thanks again for re-adding it,

cheers,

Specifically, if American Way, The - Rad Video were in my Comparison Cart (actually, it is, along with some two dozen other titles), I would like to be able to click on its title and get this display:

American Way, The - Rad Video

And because the cover image, cast & a few details about the title are displayed, it serves to remind me as to why I added that particular title to my cart in the first place.

The only problem I see with the Comparison Cart (which is WONDERFUL!) is that it's time consuming to juggle the "zeros" and "ones" in order to put together an order for a specific store that optimizes the combination of listed prices and discounts from the long list of titles which interest me.

As an aside, on the basket_compare.asp page, it would be nice if the lowest price for individual titles were marked in some way, e.g., the title in italics or a bold "cents" mark beside the title, also making it easier for us to back up and juggle titles to get the best deals. Yes, I can scan down the list and see that store "1" offers the best deal for the total order, but if title "C" is $5 less expensive at store "4" then it makes sense to choose a different title to add to the store "1" order - does that make sense?

we have a price search redesign in the works, so if anyone else has things they want in mind please speak now.

How about the ability to store an actors list which could be used as an additional search tool? This might be more useful for gay media than for straight, but who knows?

I envision it working something like the shopping cart in that actors could be added, activated (qty=1), deactivated (qty=0) or deleted. Double-clicking on an individual actor's name would bring up a search results list of all the DVD titles in which that individual actor appeared. Running a search for the entire list would bring up a search results list of all DVD titles in which ANY of the active (i.e., qty=1) actors appeared - basically, an OR search of the actors list against the master cast list database table.
