Title: PlayStation 1 Shop Sign listing
Post by: raiden58237 on July 17, 2015, 08:54:59 am
Hey guys n girls!
I got this PlayStation 1 Shop Sign but I'm not sure what to classify it as on the database. Would it go under "Other" or would it go under PlayStation hardware, I'm not 100% sure where it goes. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S Not sure how to upload image of the sign into the forum so any help there would be good as well.

I'd say under "other" or something under Swag would work.  I wouldn't call it hardware as that's more reserved for systems and gaming hardware (not including accessories).

Other is probably best as Swag would usually imply things you can buy or promotional give away items. Hardware is definitely as implies, the actual console.

Most miscellaneous items go under swag. Hardware is for video game hardware like consoles, console bundles.

+1 vote for swag. Though to be honest, promotional items like this (displays) should have their own category...

I agree. There should be a promotional / display section. It would help a lot.

I ended up listing it as "other".
