    Default What do you use to catalog your collection (online or offline)?

    Now that the DP collection tool is gone, what does everyone feel is the best option to catalog your collection? It has gotten to the point that I have games scattered throughout my family room and office and often don't play things because I don't remember I even own them. I think this is due in large part to my lack of a viewable and organized catalog of what I own.

    So, this can be the official thread for "how I keep my shit organized." I'll likely take the consensus opinion and start my cataloging this coming weekend. IGN and plenty of other place have these tools---but what is truly the best? There surely have to be pros and cons to them. I also want it to look nice and be printable to hand to friends/family so they can choose what they want to play. I'll likely keep it in a nice fancy binder when I'm done. What do you guys think?

    I used to use the IGN one because it was really basic, and I havn't checked back recent, but last time I was on there they changed the whole look of the "my collection" pages my adding in images of the games and such, which made everything look kind of sloppy cause certain games had or didn't have pictures. I'm also curious as to what is a good system to catalogue games, cause right now i'm just using a simple excel spreadsheet.

    I use an excel spreadsheet with columns for platform, title, publisher, developer, release year, rarity (on the DP scale), value (from the DP guide), territory, special status (greatest hits, re-release, demo, etc), widescreen support, 480p support, HD support, special audio support, box included yes/no, instructions included yes/no. Its very handy to say the least.
