How do you keep track of your CE's?

To tell me which sort of games I have most. I have more RPG in my collection and less sports title. Also I get to know where I got most of my game from.

Hey scourdx, would it be possible to send me a plain chart of your excel list? I'd love to generate some chartpies, but I'm too lazy to build such a huge sheet like yours.

How long does the collecterz trail last
would be good to have something like that instead of a list

it is now possible to have a barcode reading scanner c# integrated into our smart phone.so we can scan barcodes whenever we can. and have the data store on line or on the phone's database.

I've been using Google Docs and Evernote to keep track of my CE's for a long time and I finally decided to give up using them because I wasn't satisfied with them. I've recently came across Unioncy (www.unioncy.com), which automatically creates a digital inventory of all my belongings from the information in the receipts in my email. So I don't have to worry anymore about it, as it's created instantly. It seems quite useful to me. Hope someone can share their experiences with it!

I've been using SortIt Apps "Collectors" app. It has the "barcode scanner" feature you mentioned (well, 3 years ago haha). It also has a "bulk scan" function so you can quickly scan a ton of things and it'll automatically add them all from your smartphone.

You can edit nearly all the data of any item, including putting personal notes and use your own pictures if you'd prefer. It has online support so you can login online and see/manage your data from a PC as well or share a link with friends.

It apparently is a suite of sorts with different in-app purchases for other types of collections (i.e. movies, starwars figures, books, pez dispensers, etc.) but I got "books" for free and then it was only like $6 or so for the "video games" one. This pretty much covers all my CE guides and my games. Since you can add anything manually I suppose you could add artpieces and such to one of the above but It'd probably be easier to just get the "art" app-addon I'd think.

When I was on 3G it seemed like some of the bulk uploads I did (after purchasing a bunch of 3DS games) lagged or disappeared, but after a few minutes everything came back up. So so far no major complaints. It's already saved me quite a few $'s of remembering which games I was on the hunt for and which ones I already had

For steelbooks and such you'll have to take your own pictures and add in your own manual criteria - unfortunately it doesn't currently let you create your own "platform" so you can't sort it by "Steelbook", but it is an option under "packaging", so there's that.

Anyway, figured I'd share my experience and hopefully it helps someone out here

I know I should really start to keep track of things, but it has now reached a point where it's a near-impossible task! I own so many editions that it would require a great deal of time and dedication to just list everything I own, let alone keep it up-to-date!

At time of writing, I have absolutely no idea how many LE's and CE's I own! I would estimate between 300-500 across all formats, but that's a wide range! It may even be more than 500 by now... My collection room is known as the T.A.R.D.I.S. as no matter how much I try to cram inside, there always seems to be more room for new CE's!

The majority of my CE's are still packed away in boxes from when I moved house, which is where they will stay until I can build my new collection room.

I know I own somewhere between 100-120 video game SteelBooks. I also know I own around 120-150 X360 CE's, although that figure may cross-over with the SteelBook count as many CE's include a SteelBook. I started off buying LE's & CE's for both X360 and PS3 in the beginning, but I favoured the X360 as my default console as I had been collecting that the longest and it had more exclusive CE's at the time.

All I can show off is my old collection room from October 2012, but I have since expended my collection exponentially since then! I could show you a room full of cardboard boxes if you like... but it's not really much to look at
