I have too many goddamn games. When I'm out game shopping, I will see something cool or rare, but I won't remember if I actually own it or not.
Does anybody know of a website or iOS app or anything that you can use as a database for you games? I want to enter this shit once, then be able to search through my collection by console type. That way when I'm out and about, I will always know what I do and don't already own...

Haha, good point... I'm totally not trying to sound like a douche either...
Saw some dude at the Flea Market selling a bunch of rare ass Sega Master System and Dreamast games, and I couldn't remember which ones I did and didn't own... Unacceptable!

So I found
http://vgcollect.com, which appears to be fucking awesome... Only now I'm probably going to have to dedicate a full weekend to cataloging my games... More first world problems...

Gamestop has one on their website, and there are all sorts of facebook applications for this, too.

Jesus. Mother. Of. Fucking. Christ.
It has taken me literally 7 hours, but I have gone through my entire video game collection and entered it into my vgcollect database. I am literally sore and exhausted from sitting around in my pajamas all day doing this shit...
I had to put the time down to enter this shit initially... Now I can just maintain my DB.

Then... their server crashed and the database got deleted.

Their website allows you to export the DB from their site and download it as other formats (.CSV). I backed my shit up. I'm not going to lose anything if they were to crash.
