So I've changed my outlook on gaming recently.  I'm coming to the realization that digital is just better and more convenient for me.  If I move, I don't have a huge box of games to take with me - just a hard drive full of games.  So I've started entering all of my digital games into my collection. I've finished Steam today, and XBLA is also done.  Still need to do the Wii Virtual Console and PSN classics. 

But I also have several Games on Demand on the XBox - mostly from the 'Free With Gold' giveaways.  I could enter these as normal 360 games, but then it looks like I have a bunch of incomplete games in my collection.  While technically that could be true (since digital has no boxes or manuals), it doesn't really tell me if I have an incomplete game, or a digital game.  There is a section for XBox games on demand, but it is very small and incomplete.  I can create the submissions for everything I have that's not here, but it would pretty much be a duplicate of the 360 version with one small change. 

Any opinions?

Games on Demand is the correct place for the digital releases of the retail 360 games. I believe we also need a home for the Xbox One digital releases....
Chances are many of them will be missing from the database. I haven't had a chance to comb over the list personally so i am not 100% sure.

Technically not all releases would be duplicates because not every GoD was released when the retail was. Some were actually years later if memory serves.

Another recent topic on digital.

And last but not least:
We need to split digital "systems" into a separate database. They should not be lumped in with the physical retail releases. (The squeaky wheel gets the oil?)[Or does it get replaced???]
