I seriously don't keep track of my collection electronically...
Since I buy 99% of all the NTSC releases I usually just browse through that region of the database here and it pretty much maps to what I have in my collection.
I sort of keep track of it on Xbox360Achievements.org, they have a VERY basic system; basically just a list of games and arcade releases and you can check "in my collection" or "on my wish list" it doesn't track regions or editions or variants of any kind... so it's mostly useless for tracking a collection.

Basically the way it will work is you will visit the database page for the edition you want to add to your collection and there will be a link to add it along with your details.
I will open it to DB Proprietors for the testing period.
once it's "live" members that are site supporters will get the full version, while regular members will only get a basic version.
The basic version will let you maintain a "collection" list as well as a "wish" list
the full version will also add the following:
-Ability to Specify if a game on your wish list is for a sealed version or not
-Ability to write a note associated with each wish list entry
-Ability to record the buy date/price and store for each CE in your collection
-Ability to record if the CE in your collection is sealed/complete/incomplete
-Ability to record the condition of the CE in your collection
-Ability to specify if the CE in your collection is available for sale or trade
-Ability to write a note associated with each CE in your collection
-Ability to add a CE to your collection more than once (so if you have 2 copies you can add both of them with their own unique details.
I do plan on having lots of stats and every member will get a page specific to them that they will be able to link others to.
The stats/personal page is the part I still have to build, though typically that kind of thing isn't too difficult, the hard part is the user interface for adding/editing/deleting.
It takes a long time because I don't have much time to dedicate to building it, and it's important to me to release something that works great as opposed to just throwing something out there
I'd be happy to hear your suggestions for stats or other features you'd like to see. if you have any please post them here:

once the my collection features is up I'm going to start working on a way people can add things to their collection that aren't in the database.
