There are many configuration options, from price range to text color. If you are a frequent customer of digital game stores, I highly encourage you to head over to my DeviantArt page and read more about my widget.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm glad you like it!
I've updated it to v1.1 to fix the Out of Memory error with so many holiday sales (over 3400 specials up at the moment). Unfortunately it can't show all of them, I just had to limit the number it would try to read, but there's a warning when that happens.

I set it as high as I could, but it isn't using that much memory, only about 30 megabytes for a split second as it updates the widget. Would it be possible to allow widgets some more memory, Tony?

Let me know if you guys have any issues or feedback for the new update.
