   Reviewing 6.3.2 (Jan 4, 2010)

   Downloaded, installed took look around and one look at the useless data base that is full of stuff I will not buy/order/rip to add to my collection is unwanted visual BS.
   To add to the database I might as well be using a spreadsheet for all the lack of functionality that this program has allowed the user.
   
   Recommendation is do not bother with this program.

   I highly recommend users read this post:

   Be warned, this is a third party site and not part of the collectorz.com site. There you will see that they are essentially snuffing the users of v5. I, for one, am pissed that I wasted all of this time and now I cannot get the movies I want to add without manually doing so or relying on a subpar database. Please, join me in telling Alwin (President, Collectorz.com) how you really feel.
   
   Please note that as of today, 22MAR2009, there is a screenshot of a topic which had 6 pages of posts, which is now gone due to the team deleting it for containing negativity towards their product.
   
   Again, I recommend staying away from this product. The users clearly do not matter to this developer.

   Reviewing 6.0.2 (Feb 23, 2009)

   Be advised, collectorz.com and the staff have deleted ALL negative posts on their forum. This was done so as to give the illusion that the product is being received with unmatched positivity. They are also trying to alienate their users that have purchased under the lifetime license program. Most of the users who complained were not only new users, but a good majority were the older users from before collectorz became big.

   For more information. Many users from their forums have come to post about the experience. Be warned users who submit your entries, this might eventually become a subscription service where you have to pay for DB access, thus alienating the remaining lifetime users. Do you really want them making money off the work YOU DO to enter your movies? They have remained neutral on this stance about this happening but there are signs as some posts suggesting this have also been deleted. This is completely feasible give that you can no longer download this information automatically for over 50% of movies out there since you have to use their database. You are no longer able to use IMDB, DVD Empire, Amazon, or various other sites.

   Previous versions worked wonderfully, but, as others have pointed out, for "commercial reasons", the latest V6 release has removed the ability for users to download movie info from various sources like IMDB and instead restricts users to using proprietary and woefully inadequate Collectorz database. To add insult to injury,the company also expects paying users to help fill the database for them after having deprived them of access to information sources that could automatically fill in the data.
   
   This use to be a great product to reduce the work of creating a database of your movies. Now it is just another database program with very little to lift it above freeware offerings or creating your own.

   I agree with the reviewer below (FixXxeR). This program has become useless since version 6 with the database change.
