Each app is $4 each. But in my opinion it's totally worth it. They're working on an Atari 2600 collecting app and then a Gameboy/Gameboy Color collecting app. I know because they told me.
Before you think nothing of it watch a video on it or something.

It's a great site for keeping track of your collection, your wishlist, and what games you still need to beat/progress in. It's free and I love it :D

These. I'm going to give Game Vault a try, too, though. At least for the systems there's not a PureGaming app for.
I don't have an iPhone, just an iPod touch, so it's nice to have at least a partial list of my collection when there's no wifi around. The priceguides on the PureGaming apps don't hurt, either ;D

I've been using Game Collectorz for a long time now and couldn't live without it. i only do manual adding though no barcode scanning as I don't trust it. I want my info to be accurate.

At least with notepad files, you don't need an internet connection.

It's not really that convoluted once you use it. You can use all the minor little settings or do what I do and just use it to keep track of my collection/wishlist and games I've beaten. Virtually every setting on the website is optional.
And Shenske I think your signature is what turned me on to the site in the first place :D

With notepad I can remove/add games, and it's really easy, takes like a few seconds. It also helps that I keep my game libraries at a reasonable number to prevent the issue of forgetting what I own. I own 370 games between 10ish systems, and I can pretty much tell 99% of what I own, maybe even 100%.

I actually use the My Games feature on GameFAQs to keep track of which games I have. Under the Notes section I list what I still need to own the complete game, which for me is the box/case and manual for the most part. In addition, I also keep all this information in the form a TextEdit document since my internet connection can be unreliable.
I also use Backloggery, but that's mostly to keep track of which games I haven't beaten and to pick out a new game to play with that Fortune Cookie option. I love that thing.
