No 360 Games option for my collection section

[VolcasarusReX]

I did a search but couldn't find anything related, but I'm just a little curious why there is only an option to add PS3 games to your collection. I understand that the PS3 has a bluray drive and this is a bluray forum. However, everyone knows that not all PS3 games actually take advantage of having a Bluray drive, and some of the games can still look like crap (or not as good as their 360/PC counterparts).

I like to use this site as a media tracker and such for my bluray collection and I have been looking for something similar for my 360 games. It would be nice if I could do both formats on one website like the PS3 owners can on here.

Seems a little strange to me to offer one but not the other just because it has a bluray drive. Both consoles do 1080p and look great on HDTV's.

If this has already been addressed before please link so I can see the response as to why, otherwise can someone explain to me a valid reason other than this is a bluray forum.

you only need 1 valid reason. thats exactly the reason why and the reason why it took years before we got a seperate gaming section and before that we got the official 360 thread in the forums basement. i understand what your saying. third party games that are multi platfom do not take advantage of blu. seems not many first party games either. but first and foremost, this is a bluy ray site. not a gaming site. though i prefer these forums to most of the others, i cannot expect the basic function of this site to bend to my every whim. if i remember correctly, someone asked about this before in the feedback threads. when it comes to games, ps3 only does 1080p if the game supports it. theres a thread about it in the official ps3 forums.

Yeah I guess I just wish it was a little more fair. I think my main reasoning is I would really love a site like this for all of my media and so far I haven't been able to find much online that is actually good.

I love this site and spend at least an hour at work on here if not more every day and it would just be ten times more amazing for me if it supported both game systems.

Thanks for the input

If you start adding 360, why not Wii? Why not DS? Why not PC? Why not PSP? Hell, why not Gamecube, Dreamcast, SNES, etc. etc. etc.

Even though I used it, I'm don't really believe the PS3 collection should exist. We certainly don't need to add MORE collections that aren't related to Blu-Ray at all.

I would think it's very reasonable to keep it to a HD format. I take this site serious and think a lot of people on here take the format very seriously and the difference is that you can't look at the graphics on Wii, or DS and take it seriously compared to the amazing graphics on a PS3/360

I've seen people list their collections on external sites for DVD movies, I'm sure there is something similar for PS2/Xbox/Wii/etc that you could link to in your sig. Just a thought.

[Terjyn]

Just because it's HD doesn't make it any more Blu-Ray related.

I like the suggestion of using an external link if you really want to list your collection.

It's not really the listing that I'm looking for but more of the price tracking that this site allows. There are a lot of games that I want but may not want to drop the full price on and it would be great if I could have something track the price drops for me.

The main reason I use this site is for bluray and bluray related items, I just think it would be nice if I could have it all

PS3 games are on Blu-Ray media. That's why. 360 are on DVD's.

I love my 360 for gaming hands down. The PS3 is my movie machine unless I have a PAL DVD, then the 360 steps up.

[Samus Aran]

I use 1up.com for listing all my games.

I would think this site, as soon as Microsoft's next console comes out with a Blu-Ray drive (I would think it's a given at this point...streaming media and broadband penetration isn't where it needs to be for a purely download-only device--see the PSPGo), will provide Microsoft gaming updates as well.

I just noticed this game option as well. I only have a 360 and would like to add my collection to the site. It does seems extremely bias to ONLY offer a PS3 library. I mean the games section of the forum is for just that- GAMES. Who cares what the console you use is. If you're going to offer PS3 games to be added to your collection its only fair to include WII, PC, and 360 or just not offer the game collection option at all.

It's not all that difficult to understand. PS3 games are on blu-ray discs. This is blu-ray.com.

were lucky we have forums for those consoles now especially since this is not a gaming site.

We have been fighting for a PS3 collection for a while.

Exactly I don't think some of these members realize how long we have been fighting for a PS3 collection.

[Mr. J]

Oh my goodness....let's just be greatful we got a PS3 Collection link. That took forever and it actually came out of nowhere. We've been wanting it but never expected it. And let's not even start on the Gaming Forum.....there wasn't one at all until not too long ago! Mentioning anything related to the 360 around here would've got you smacked in the mouth with an open blu-ray case.

A fellow Santa Rosan.
Took a look at your HT picture and saw The Last Record Store, that's my shop to buy vinyl at.I like there new location but I have to say I miss them being over on 4th street. But then again Video Droid is near by, although their Blu selection sucks.

Yup. I don't know if you've bothered to look, but PSN titles cannot be added to our PS3 collections here; we can only add PS3 games printed on Blu-ray Discs (all PS3 disc titles are BD), and that makes perfect sense to me, since this is Blu-ray.com.

I'm not a member of CAG (cheapassgamer.com), but I think they have a tracking system in place for video game(s) pricing, so you might want to check that site out...
