Your Personalized Collection Lists on DP!

[maxlords]

Will it include everything listed in the DP rarity guide? And will be be able to add entries that are not listed in the guide (i.e. imports that DP doesn't have lists of yet)?

It's an extension of the online guide itself - so you'll be able to add anything that you can see. If there are things missing from the database, let me know!

I had heard about his beeing in the works a while ago, and let me just say WOO-HOO! I am very excited. DP continually surpasses my every expectaction. I am so glad that I found you guys when I did.

One suggestion for future implementation: Add nintari-like matching feature so trading becomes much more streamlined.

Holy Crap, this is perfect!
Soon, every thing else will just be....obsolete

I can't even begin to imagine how you'd implement cut'n'paste, so I can easily believe that would be a ways off, if it ever happened.

BUT, this leads me to suggest something that I think should be much easier, if you don't already have it in the works: multiple selections. I assume entering our items will involve selecting various listed choices. Given that, if possible it would be nice to permit multiple selections - either with a multiple item listbox, or checkboxes (and don't refresh the screen after each click, wait for a submit button), etc...

But I assume you guys already have all of the above covered.

AND:
Will hardware be included? Please?

Great news!

As someone who just bought a bunch of VCS stuff (including homebrews) this couldn't have come at a better time!

Will this allow for want lists too?

And for those of us who are part of the 'collectors list' - are you just gonna take totals off of the database?

This is gonna be awsome...

Awesome!!!
Now I have no reason to use the crappiness known as IGN. I heart u guys.

[DigitalSpace]

This is great news - I'll definitely have to give this a try when it's ready to go!

Thanks!

i have game collectorz.i'm all good.thanks though

[Goodwill Hunter]

This is great! I just manually compared my Genesis list with the DP complete Genesis list, and came up with at least a dozen cheap games I've been leaving on the shelves because I figured I already had them (going to pick them up tomorrow )...this service will effectively allow me to easily do this for my entire collection!

Thanks Joe...what an amazing gift to the gaming/collecting community!

Great news DP

How bout if you are a variation nut like me (and so many others). Will there be a way to organize your games this way? If not now, how soon or how hard with this be to do.

Any how i cannot wait.

I'm curious about this too. For example, I consider Gold Zelda and Gray Zelda (NES variants) to be two games in my personal collection. Will there be any way to account for this, or will there be a comments field like IGN for mention of such variants?

Excellence, looking very foward to leaving ign's crapness.

[hydr0x]

fantastic news, now if we only had a pc game list too

seriously, this is awesome, so, one question, will the db be able to do a "not in your collection" search than? that would be a very neat thing... (should be possible for every selection then, like "non-us games" so i can see which few are missing....... eh, yeah, just kidding

[robotriot]

While this is really a cool feature, I think I'll stick to the Playright list, due to a lot of missing PAL games in the DP lists, the ability to add missing games and the availability of computer games over there. But I guess most people here don't need these features anyway, so it's perfect for them =)

The first version of this will simply be "if it's on the database, you can add it to your own, want, or trade list". Variants would be handled in a future iteration of this tool, probably via a "comment" box where you can add your own text (which you can also throw condition, packaging, etc).

[Half Cab Leroy]

Sounds awesome! Can't wait!!

[qbertandernie]

it wont be too hard if its just a 'check the box' type thing...as i recall ign was a manual entry or some crap that was too labor intensive for my tastes

I second this motion. Awesomeness even so!
