It's like having Lewie P plugged into your Firefox browser.

Anyway, Gaywood pointed this out to me so I'm perhaps stealing his thunder, but still.

Basically, you install it, visit Amazon or Play or TheHut or something and look at an item and it will tell you if you can get it cheaper anywhere else.

And if you are about to reply and say "I use Chrome now wah wah" then that's your own fault, isn't it?

The guys who made this emailed me a couple of months ago to ask me to take a look at it.

At the time, the first 3 games I tested I was able to find cheaper elsewhere.

I'm still number 1 bitches.

Can I call you up anytime day or night to bargain hunt for me?

Hmm. I am online a lot of the time.

And when not I can be twitted at @lewiep

Interesting that it claims to do the search live. Must open a lot of connections.

Mine caches the prices from up to around 4 hours ago, so is always slightly out of date.

Have you seen the UKHD new blog they've started in direct emulation of Our LewP? The dastards.

I wouldn't mind so much, but a total of 5 people run it, and it is still shit. Their idea of a good retro review is saying "Ocarina of Time was good", they do old boring news, and rubbish reviews.

They have been around a small amount of time, and already have (slightly) more subscribers than I. Bastards.

Edit: That probably sounds bitchy, I don't mind them trying, I am just somewhat resentful of their seeming immediate 'success' despite them being a bit rubbish. Competition is fine by me.

Edit2: Although fair play to them, they do actually credit me when they quote my stuff.

I always thought what the world needed was another review of Ocarina of Time.

That is pretty good actually! Just saved me £3.71!

Edit, apart from the fact it doesn't work. Just clicked on Mirrors edge, at Amazon, 10.67, it said this is the best price (out of

. Looked at the 8 offers, play.com 9.99 delivered.

UK Hot Deals?
Isn't that entire site like, a billions times better than LewieP? (No offence Lewie, but you dont' go getting me discounts on new fridges...)

Well, to be honest it seems that some of LewP's followers post his deals onto UKHD within minutes or an hour or two of him finding them. I'd listen to him first. STAND BY YOUR LEW *bow da dow* Sometimes it's hard, to find, the bargains.

That HDUK bargain blog has to be one of the worst things on the internet. Terrible 2 day old news recycled through the brains of mongs, with opinion pieces that were answered years ago.

Ouch, they're linking to you now Lew. Your Shadow Complex post got gotted.

Well, again, at least they are linking to me, and crediting me for it, that's basic internet etiquette.
