Default No 360 Games option for my collection section

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.
