i dont know what to put after the bracket of the list item class, so their is an error saying

expression expected

This is the code:

Dim NewEntry As New ListItem(CostOfGame & " " & Ps3Games & " " & GameID & " " & IsTheGameInStock & " " &)

Also, can you please explain to me what list item does in simple terms as i still dont understand it?

You have an extra '&' at the end of your expression. It should just be:

Dim NewEntry As New ListItem(CostOfGame & " " & Ps3Games & " " & GameID & " " & IsTheGameInStock & " ")

As to what a ListItem is and what it does, see the documentation. I suspect, though that an answer that you want is a little broader and beyond the scope of this site.
