Your Personalized Collection Lists on DP!

[digitalpress]

Yes, but can it core a apple?

But seriously, this will be GREAT! Finally, an online listing without any holes! Would I be wrong in assuming this list will be accessable through someone's profile?

It will be integrated with the forums to some degree. You'll have your own link - it might not be necessary to link it to your profile as you can use it as your "www" field in your current profile, in your sig, etc. However, I'm hoping that we can work your forum profile into your collection page.

Not sure how much of these nice extras will get into v1.0 though, let's see how it goes as the build progresses.

I'm willing to pitch in gift wise. As much as my meager wage will allow anyway. What type of nice thing are we trying to do here?

[SegaAges]

well, this will be way better than ign. i have 1 game for 2600 that is in the 7200 listings in ign because i would have had to e-mail them and crap.

kudos to SpasticFuctard. this is going to be awesome.

*craps pants*

I can't wait!!!!!!

Man I read that and absolutely died laughing!

Good work DP, give me a reason to re-log my collection

Is re-logging having to push the same piece of poop out twice?

I know so many people have been asking for/waiting for this feature for such a long time, it'll really put DP above the rest

Am I the only one that actually liked IGN? :/
I think it might be time to move on, though, and leave it for a better place. This is truely good news. Also, its at a good time. My personal collection just expanded LARGELY and it is still continuing to do so. By the time this feature comes up, I should be ready. Keep up the good work guys!

IGN didnt really bother me...except when you would email them to add a game and it would never happen

the values were off too, but if you ignored the values it wasnt a bad service at all, plus it allowed comments for all your games

here is my ign collection http://users.ign.com/collection/tholly

you can see i have a comment for every game i own

[Icarus Moonsight]

The only thing I'm gonna miss about IGN is the over-estimated value they assign to your collection I'll continue to update IGN for thecollection value print out for insurance purposes :: but thats about it.

Thank you DP and SFT! As always awesomeness far beyond words.

They could add a "stroke my ego" checkbox on your listings that auto boost your total value by 5%, that would have the same effect

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but the generosity and quality of the whole of DP "Industries" makes me glad that I'm part of their community....

Hey, if we used it we liked it, to some degree. But for collections of any size and with any sort of age it becomes frustrating. There were more than a few 2600 games I've recently acquired that just *aren't* listed. With the list coming from a site like DP, I know they're going to *be* there...

[TougherToast]

That is Hella Cool! Can't wait to get my games on it

[Nez]

I liked IGN but it would take a good minute to log 1 game into my collection.

I hope this will work better and faster.

[SuperNES]

That truly is..... PANTS-CRAPPINGLY AWESOME!!!

[racecar]

WOW
i'll get my want/have list ready

[Gemini-Phoenix]

It'll work, if it also has complete PAL lists as well...

If it's just a tick box list that is.


Is there any way to make the DP one better than IGN? Ie, a way we can show whether or not a specific game is factory sealed or not, and whether it is complete / cart only / cart and manual Etc...?


I tried the IGN one, but gave up after ten minutes as it didn't have hardly any of th games I went to enter...



One more question - Will it also include current consoles (Ie, Xbox, PS2, GBA, Cube, Ngage Etc) as well as the upcoming new ones (DS, PSP, PS3, Xbox 2, Revolution)

Is is.

Though it won't be in v1.0, we will have a comment area that you can add condition/completeness to later. We may be able to get a box and manual "yes/no" field into the first version as well.

One nice thing about this is that we're constantly updating and upgrading both our system and our content, so when you ask for things like this we can work on it if it's at all feasible.

Everything you see in the current database! That includes everything you just listed. We won't have the most current games updated as they're released but pretty close - you should expect at LEAST monthly updates of new titles for current gen systems.

Thanks for the feedback!

Great feature.

[Melf]

This is going to be so awesome! Thanks!

Suggestion:

in the list I made for myself for my SMS collecting, I always had a flag that showed weither or not I had beaten the game, and an alternate flag that I used to show if I had beaten it by using a cheat. I'd like to see this feature in the DP collections.

It makes choosing which game to play next a bit easier.

Also, an optional high score box would be nice too, especially if you could compare it against other DP-ers' scores.

YEAH! This guys thinking! You guys should( eventually) add these features.
The ability to mark games you have beaten , and adding your high score would be the coolest!
Joe U rule!
