All PSP games are playable on Vita (digitally that is), but that doesn't make it a Vita game... in my opinion anyways.

That is correct of course. They are still PSP games. Like digital PS1 games that can also be played on the PSP, but they still are PS1 games, for instance.

or this one http://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B002M99UZ8/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used if you don't mind German artwork.

The first seller "medimops" ships to the US for €11 so the total sum would be something like ~$35.

You can use your amazon.com log-in data to access the German amazon.

The artwork is German, if there is a voice output in-game it seems to be German as well, but the manual and the on-screen text comes in four languages including English. At least that's what the description says

I call it UK version but it can also be called EU version.

That the Italian version has 7 collectors is more that there was just one version in the database, and they didn't bother to add their version. I did because i always have the game in hand when adding it to my collection. And i don't change a game if which has most (importend for identifying a game) fields filled.

You can call it [UK] version, but that doesn't make it right. That one http://ogdb.eu/index.php?section=game&gameid=58790 is the UK version.

We are talking about the official and general PEGI [EU] version here. And like I said, chances are low the 7 people are owning the Italian version.

But if you insist, undo my changes and I will use your database entry instead and edit it to [EU], if you agree.

There are 36 results for "Watch Dogs" that should be renamed to "Watch_Dogs".

Additional question: If a game's standard edition is in a certain way a special edition, should that be stated in the title?

Example:

Watch_Dogs [PS4] has "60 minutes" of additional gameplay compared to releases on different platforms. But a) there is no regular PS4 edition w/o those "60 minutes" and b) the "Bonus Edition" addition to the title that can be seen in databases does not appear in the artwork on the box.

Should this entry be rather called "Watch_Dogs" (mentioning the bonus in the Description Box only) or "Watch_Dogs - Bonus Edition"?

edit: There seems to be a regular edition that I overlooked. Nvm.

I would like to see an update/renaming to the Atari 8-Bit Computer category along the line with i.e. the Commodore 64 category.

This is what it looks like today

Atari 8-bit Computer
  Atari 8-Bit Computer (Cartridges)
  Atari 8-Bit Computer (Cassette Tapes)
  Atari 8-Bit Computer (Floppy Disks)
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Accessory
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Hardware

This is a proposal for how it could look

Atari 8-Bit Computer                                <-- Rename to "Atari 8-Bit Computer", notice the upper case B in 8-Bit
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Accessory              <-- No change
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Cartridges [EU]     <-- Remove brackets and rename existing category to [EU]
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Cartridges [NA]     <-- Create new category
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Cassettes [EU]      <-- Remove brackets, rename existing category to "Cassettes [EU]"
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Cassettes [NA]      <-- Create new category, call it "Cassettes" instead of "Casette Tapes"
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Floppy Disks [EU]  <-- Create new category
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Floppy Disks [NA]  <-- Remove brackets, rename existing category to [NA]
  Atari 8-Bit Computer Hardware              <-- No change

*edit: after checking the collectors/releases in the different categories above it seems that the releases already in the database is mostly European, that is why it seems more reasonable to change the existing categories to [EU] and create new ones for [NA]

The correct spelling is 8-bit though

Binary Domain - Limited Edition [PS3]

http://vgcollect.com/item/60847 < used to have a wrong barcode
http://vgcollect.com/item/92835 < dupe now

edit: platform added

fazerco needs to look at this first.

I see. Additional info: it seems that he created the 2nd entry as the first already had a different barcode, but the barcode belonged to the Italian version. Now the main entry has the correct barcode which makes his entry a dupe.

So you changed a italian version to UK, that not nice. There can also be Spanish, German, etc versions around, and they all can be added, with the correct data afcourse .

I understand what you are saying and didn't want to cause trouble, but the thing is it is highly doubtful that there were 7 owners of the Italian version and you were the only one owning the general European version (on an American/English-spoken website). I guess that the people who added this version to the collection were not aware that this was supposed to be an Italian version of the game.

edit: just to clarify again, this is not the [UK] version, but a general [EU] version as stated above.

edit 2: "doubtful"

edit 3: typo

are re-releases with the same barcode eligible for an own entry? if so, does this still apply if the re-release is identical (in artwork etc.) to the original release?

edit: error. but the question above remains
