If there is already a version of the 'game to be added' in our database, the new game has to be added via "Add Missing Version". You will find this button on the detail page of the already exising game. We separate games into these types:
- Standard Version
- Budget Version (Platinum, Classics, Essentials, Player's Choice, etc.)
- Limited Edition (Collector's Edition, Special Edition, etc.)
- Whitelabel
- Promotional
- Digital
- Unofficial (only available for Consoleprofiler staff)
- The version/edition has to be written in the field "Edition" - for example: Platinum, Collector's Edition,...
Illegal created or distributed versions of games (even if they some how are purchased legally) are not part of our database and will be removed. You can still 'track' these games as 'Items' in your collection.
...have no place here and will be deleted.
Demo versions of games are not tracked in our database and will be removed if added by a user. You can still 'track' these games as 'Items' in your collection.
Exception to that rule are games which are so called demos but contain nearly the same content as the original game (e.g.: „Ridge Racer Hi-Spec Demo“)
Digital copies of games (e.g: from Steam, Playstation Network, Xbox Live, GOG,...) can be added to the platform as type Digital.
Add-Ons or DLCs can be added to the database by checking the flag Addon/DLC. You can only add an Add-On or DLC if the base game is already available in the database. Add-Ons/DLCs are added to the base game via its the detail page.
