We have a boat load of demos in the database already. The main reason for doing this is to help clean up the main catagories, there's nothing worse than sifting through a ton of demos while browsing game list.

Makes sense.

I almost never download or play/try any demo's (I pretty much know enough about what I'll like & what will be worth buying for myself); that I'm not the "right guy" to make any judgement on us having/not having demo's  ;D

I used to obsessively collect all of the PS2 demos.

We'll be making a few more changes later tonight to help clear things up a bit. I'll post an update then.

Indeed you could  ;D

(Then...you could also read what the Style Guide has to say about the "S.W.A.G." category)  ;)

I love that you have separated these. Hopefully this could lead to being able to show how many retail released games owned :D

I know you added some Not For Resale carts, but I'm still wondering if they're exactly the same as retail carts or not... I mean, a demo implies an unfinished preview version or one that ends at a certain point. If the games are the same as retail... then they're not really demos. Just NFR carts. >_>
