Video Game Database Discussion / How to insert merchandise and extras?

« on: March 28, 2019, 03:39:34 pm »

The title says it all.

In particular I have two items that I would want to insert, both are giant cardboard boxes that replicate the case of Fighting Force PS1 and Silent Hill 3 PS2.
Those items were used in the shop for AD purposes and I asked the shopkeeper to have those (instead of him likely thrashing them, so they are quite rare I guess, because they weren't for sale), obviously they are not coded in any way.

Moreover I have some extra stuff that came as a pre-order bonus (rather a booking with a small deposit than a real pre-order, actually) not included in the game packcage (mugs, keychains, figures, steelbooks, T-shirts...) and I was wondering if there is a category I'm missing to have them listed in the collection (with pictures).
I tried seraching for "merchandise" in the drop down list but I can't find it.

I also have some steelbook editions that have a "cardboard dust jacket" that replicates the base game cover artwork, which one do I have to scan for a submission? (I would go with the steelbook artwork, but I thought to better ask here before).

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Video Game Database Discussion / Question / Suggestion on EU entries of the games

« on: March 22, 2019, 02:19:53 pm »

Hi everyone,

I noticed that there are many entries labelled EU but in the actual page there's only the name, the amazon price of the game and a front cover.

From my experience is very rare that there is just one global EU version for a game, so uploading an entry like that is misleading and incorrect more often than not (and useless).

Wouldn't it be better to make some mandatory fields in the submission page (item number and barcode i.e.)?

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Video Game Database Discussion / Where to request a genre?

« on: March 22, 2019, 11:02:42 am »

I'm adding the Italian version of Metal Gear Solid but I notice that in the genre 'stealth' is not present.

I see a platform request thread along with a developer/publisher one, but no genre request thread.

Does stealth belongs to another genre?

In the meantime I'll leave it blank

Thanks in advance for the answers

Video Game Database Discussion / Question about listing when finding differences

« on: March 20, 2019, 04:48:07 pm »

Hi everyone, I'm a new vgcollect user and I need some help.

I started inserting games in my collection as soon as the confirmation link redirected me on the site, but I noticed that several of the (few) EU games I inserted differs for some details (serial number or barcode i.e.), so I stopped and came here.

Do I have to submit a new item in this event?

I think that's because the EU market is very inhomogeneous (thank you google translate) and it happens that we have several differences in the same game (like the barcode i.e.).

I don't want to bother the admins with useless or inaccurate corrections to the listed games when I have a different copy, I mean instead of helping with submitting a different one.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions/views on the subject.
