    Default Organizing your game collection online?

    So, I have noticed a few people using websites to list there game collections and also list there doubles/wanted and there games that are for sale.

    What is the best website to do this? I have been searching for the last hour and there is quite a few. Some want to charge you and others are free, Theres also the ones that are free but then charge you for software.

    What i need is a website or even just a iPhone app to make a list of my consoles and games, Past and present. I like the listings to also provide cover arts for when i look threw the list.

    Im guessing someone here knows what im talking about.......

    So far the only one i found that also has a app is http://www.collectorz.com/game/

    They also want £24.95 for the computer programe and £5.99 for the app. (W0W) is this the norm, I dont think this is acceptable as theres Movie apps for £2 without the need to use a website aswell

    Couldn't you just create an Excel spreadsheet of your information? Or create an html page of data if you want to make it public.
    Ow! My small intestine!

    Not everyone has Excel pre-installed on their PCs (especially for those of us who built ours from parts, like myself).

    I keep my collection details inside a spreadsheet on Google Documents. There's all sorts of options for sharing it with other people, which is a bonus. All you need is a Google account.

    I tried OpenOffice for a while, but you really do get what you pay for with MS Office. Plus, I've got a plugin that keeps my Google documents in sync with my PC's, which is a nice bonus.

    OO's interface is just awful. (It works, yes, but it's like driving a Punto when there's a BMW in the garage.)

    I'm using Open Office myself, and I don't see any advantage in using Microsoft Office.
    The Mega Drive was far inferior to the NES in terms of diffusion rate and sales in the Japanese market, though there were ardent Sega users. But in the US and Europe, we knew Sega could challenge Nintendo. We aimed at dominating those markets, hiring experienced staff for our overseas department in Japan, and revitalising Sega of America and the ailing Virgin group in Europe.

    Then we set about developing killer games.

    I organize my game collection on my personal wiki page: link

    It just so happens that I use DokuWiki, but any other wiki system that supports tables and images (just about anyone) will do. You just need a web server to run it on, and probably not everyone has that.

    Well, obviously not if you're dead set against paying out for another office suite. I bought Office 2007 after I found that OO could not open 'classic' Word or Excel documents without screwing up the formatting or messing with the layout in some abominable way - especially the kind that's read-only besides editable fields you click to enter information. This was when I was job-hunting, too, so I just thought 'screw this' and that was that.

    Same thing with Google Docs, really, but the hassle-free (optional!) online document sharing is really a huge bonus.
