Collector's Edition
02-01-2009, 04:10 AM
Collector's Edition is but a few weeks old. Starting a database with the level of detail here that I would like to strive for is no easy or quick task. Once I got the base site and database laid out I got a lot of feedback about what people wanted to see, and I had a sizable task list in front of me about what needed to be done. Well here is the first major update.
Here are the features that have been added:
Title bar Navigation
Dates added to the Game Database directory
The ability to sort the Game Database lists by by console, release date, title or region coding.
The ability to move through the game database list like a directory structure
RSS feed (http://collectorsedition.org/feed) added for the news page. You can also subscribe to comments for any individual page or post that allows for comments, look for the link in the grey box at the end of the post/page.
entries in the database for every last current generation game that exists to my knowledge... That means every CE for 360, PS3 and Wii that I know about is listed here now.
A page for each and every game in the database that means no more dead links, you'll be taken to at least bare bones page with some basic info, in most cases there is at least a feature list.
A glossary of terms (http://collectorsedition.org/glossary-of-terms) describing the different styles of game cases along with other terms and what they mean. Eventually this will be larger and have pictures as well.
Loads of bug fixes that caused duplicate entries to be displayed, voting problems on certain pages, or graphical errors in IE (fsking... ie and their non CSS compliance) :D
All in all the database now has 105 records, honestly i didn't even know there were that many CEs this generation but every time I turned around I found another one that I didn't notice before.
I've also completely fleshed out about a dozen pages at this point with detailed pictures and descriptions, and I'll be adding more to that list every day. I hope every page will be at this level eventually. Currently concept art has been put up for most of the unreleased games. There are also detailed photos and descriptions up for the following titles:
