    Default Your Personalized Collection Lists on DP!

    We've been promising this for a long time, and the time is now right around the corner!

    Few would argue that our database is the most complete and comprehensive videogame resource that tracks virtually every system's game library, including imports, prototypes, hardware and homebrews, from the beginning of the electronic gaming era to the very present. With 35,000 line items it's been a great resource and the massive team behind keeping it updated is second to none.

    Now to put that resource to work for you.

    You've seen it on IGN.com, a way to click off the games that you own and add them to your own personal collection page. We'll have that, complete with the vital statistics on your own page (using your Roundtable forum login info) and links back to the game details from our database. You'll get quick info on the value of your collection and various ways to sort it, and of course, you'll be able to share your lists with other collectors.

    As an added bonus, you will be able to create your own "wanted" and "for trade/sale" custom lists here as well, once again with the power of the database behind the scenes. No longer will you need to maintain your own off-line TXT files or build a website just so you can show your goods to others online.

    As I've said many times before, our home is your home. We'll continue to do everything we can to bring gamers together here.

    More details to follow - expect this feature to be available by Valentine's Day!

    By Valentine's Day? Joe, if you weren't already married, I'd say you'd know the way to my heart! *swoons*

    Seriously, though, this is great! I can't wait for it to be online. The IGN list, as good an idea as it is, is indeed incomplete and it's a tedious process too (adding/removing items takes too long in my opinion).

    will the lists be able to be a copy and paste from excel? i have my games documented, but dont want to have to insert 3200 games into a database. thats why i stopped IGN.

    just curious, im sure many of the users here have more games than theyd care to insert inidividually.

    Thank you SOOO much. I couldnt stand the IGN system. Valentines day cant come soon enough. Maybe I'll actually get an accurate count of my games and instead of telling everyone "900ish." This is great news.

    As much as I'd like something like that, it would present a whole new level of complexity to this project. I can say that adding to your list is really easy, it's done via the search results screen. So you can call up a list of virtually any kind and check 'em off that way, without having to wade through pages and pages of listings.

    I'm not saying "never", but I can't say "now".

    So to all you guys who keep complaining about IGN's list, I want to see this thing populated. And tell your friends about it, too.

    will this listing have the ability for us to add notes on our games, such as if we have cart, instructions, box and conditions etc...?
