Created a script so that it pulls the ranking of the games throughout all the amazon sites. GoW in JP ranking still trying to figure it that out because it has an age restriction. No Labo in MX 

Out of curiosity: How does your crawler work? Maybe your solution is way better then mine and so I can improve it. My programm is very brute force atm :D

It uses lynx to dump the page source and with grep obtains the line where the ranking is. The it uses sed to only show the number. I can share with you how I did it so we can make both crawlers better. Not a great programmer skills but for it gets the job done. I can't execute every time because Amazon then tells me I'm a robot, so it fails to obtain the numbers xD
