Games

est selection of movies in the universe. I don’t know that for a fact, but
if it isn’t, it’s certainly close.
Games
Because I don’t play computer games, I don’t have much to report
here. Keep in mind, however, that the digital game industry is larger
than Hollywood in dollar sales. We’re talking big money. Any website
that can save a kid a few bucks, or parents a few hundred, is a welcome
relief to purchasing full retail.
Searches
The search engine at Half.com at one time didn’t work very well. You
could only do a definitive search with an ISBN number. However, it is
now much improved. But when all else fails, go to Amazon.com and
search. Come back to Half.com with the ISBN or UPC numbers.
Numbers
The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) and the UPC
(Universal Product Code) are standard industry inventory numbers,
often expressed as bar codes, found on products in the Half.com
catalog.
The Half.com database is independent of inventory. Therefore, you
will find books that are “out of stock.” This makes a very complete
database possible, enabling you to order books that are not in stock. As
soon as someone offers such books for sale, your purchase will automatically
take place, and you will get the book. Or, rather than purchase
automatically, you can elect to be notified when a book you want
comes into Half.com’s inventory. (Searches work similarly for other
items.)
