you can enter high scores, how much you paid for a game...
Out of curiously, how many here keep track of what they pay for games?

I've heard some gougers over the years say things like "I will not take a loss on these games!", but I never imagined normal people would bother tracking their games like investments on the stock market. My memory retains ballpark figures for stuff I've paid over $30 for, but I don't buy that much.
i know the price of some games, but most i just ballpark it. I mainly want to put my collection up for a way to keep track of it all. also for insurance reasons.

I'm the same way with ballpark figures but I might as well take advantage of the app now that I have it and save all of the relevant info.

Not really.  I can give a pretty good estimate and/or look up the paypal receipt for many, but I don't make any effort to keep tabs on 'em.

I'm in the same boat.  When I get a game from a store, I'll often put the receipt in the game case, if the game came with a case.  I buy a lot of games loose, so that isn't always an option.  But I do that with DVDs and books as well (free bookmark!).

On some games, I make a note next to the game for what price I paid. More like a means of checking what the current market value is online more than tracking gains/losses in % over a period of time.
