PS1/2 Classics
« on: August 25, 2015, 01:35:48 pm »
I mentioned this a while ago in the Duplicate listings thread, but I don't think it got resolved/it got buried, so I'm going to list it as a separate topic so more people can put eyes on it.

I think some people get confused that PS1 Classics have their own separate category, for example, and so will list the game under the broad PSN category instead, sometimes for multiple PSN platforms. This will lead to a listing in multiple categories.

Here are some examples:
Breath of Fire IV
http://vgcollect.com/item/30738 - PS1 Classics
http://vgcollect.com/item/80716 - PSN PS3

Capcom vs. SNK - Mark of the Millennium 2001
http://vgcollect.com/item/64804 - PS2 Classics
http://vgcollect.com/item/53619 - PSN PS3

Final Fantasy VII
http://vgcollect.com/item/18274 - PS1 Classics
http://vgcollect.com/item/61272 - PSN Vita
http://vgcollect.com/item/61275 - PSN PS3

I feel like these are dupes, but if there is any way to download PS1/2 games without going through the PS1/2 Classics hub, perhaps they should be kept separate? I don''t know if that's possible or not: what do you guys think?

We are currently working on better organizing the digital categories right now, these will definitely be addressed when everything is finalized.

I agree, they're awesome. As a collector, it's nice to be able to not only see my collection on my shelf, but also in a nicely, detailed list, online.

I wanted to bring this thread back up to ask about if any consensus had been made on this issue? I was just going through the digital PS3 category looking for dupes and I'm still seeing a lot of PS1/PS2 classics in both their own category and the PSN PS3 category.

Thanks :)

Thanks for bringing this up again! I know it makes it easier for Jason to see them and make a note of them in his project list.

Thanks for the reply Jason and Deso :) I appreciate it.

If anyone was interested in hearing the specific thoughts that I had about the issue I can do that as well.
