SUGGESTION: a few extra 'Game' options

1. Instead of Manufacturer, call it 'Publisher', and add a new field called 'Developer'. And allow both of those to be accessible in Edit Item screen. A lot of times, we're not so much interest as to the publisher, but more so to which studio developed a game.

2. expanding on that, it would be awesome to search all titles released by a particular publisher, or by developer. If we could see all Valve released games, or Infinity Ward releases, that would be awesome.

3. perhaps instead of 'number of discs', rename it to Format, where we can put fields such as 2 CDs, 1 DVD, 6 floppies, or even Online to indicate games only available thru online download. And then make this category editable as well.

4. Allow future release dates. right now, games that are coming out in 2008 cannot have proper release dates entered because it stops at 2007.

5. Maybe add an extra field called ESRB Rating, where can we choose only between M, T, E, C, etc.... Maybe even make it so amazon.com entries can only choose between those, while amazon.co.uk entries choose between the UK format of ratings 16+, 18+, 12+, etc...

none of those are really high priority, if they are quick fixes, I'd much appreciate them. it would add so much more wealth of info into our database entries.

to further comment on point 1, currently, it seems to be a bit of a mess, depending on how amazon labels their items. For example some copies of Oblivion are labelled as Manufaturer: Take 2 Interactive, Take 2, 2K Games, or Bethesda.

Take 2 is just short-form name of Take 2 Interactive, but its the main corporate branch that owns several other publishers such as Gathering, Rockstar, and 2K Games (and 2K Games is the proper publisher of this title), while Bethesda is the proper developer. But finding 4 different versions of 'manufacturers' is a bit of a mess, which is why it would be nice to distinguish between publisher and developer, as well as make it editable.
