Grouping of Regions - PS3 - EU/NA/JP
« on: May 01, 2011, 12:08:09 pm »
Hi there, not sure if this is what "warpedflash" was talking about, but is there a way to group all ones game for a console so that they are not split up between JP or EU or NA?  Playstation 3 games are not regional locked as far as I am aware, and right now if I go to http://vgcollect.com/mscanlen/ps3 I see the USA (NA) listed games.  I have to click on EU or go to http://vgcollect.com/mscanlen/ps3eu to display those games (and then the NA ones are not listed).

Maybe an "Ignore Region" checkbox that can turn it on or off, regardless if the game is NA or EU or JP?

By ignoring the region you can also cut down on the need to create for example 3 of the same game for the same platform.

Just a thought :-)   keep up the good work

Sorry for the delay. Not sure how I missed replying to this one. The system is created to have individual listings for every game and every variation. This is why we have broken out regions and most classic gaming collectors try to complete an entire US or PAL set. Even if the games are not region locked such as PS3, they still have unique part numbers, release dates, etc for that region.

I think a solution to your problem would be a way to group titles together. You search for MGS3, see one result, click it and there is the info or links to each region. I'll be looking and experimenting with some ways to smooth this out soon.
