How do i add games to my collection?.I remember back in april using it with ease.I would type in the name of the game (not the search box at the top of the screen)then it would show results and beside the results it would say something like add to collection or add.it would tell you how many people had the game and such.so how do i get there?

To add a game to your list, type the name in the search box up top, then click "add to list" under the box art next to the listing you want.

To see how many people have a game in their collection, you can find that out in your game collection, it has a column telling you that. Also you can see how many people rated a certain game by going to the game's main page.

You seemingly can't add a game to a collection from the Game's own info/review page? Why not?
There is a "add to list" function, but that does not allow to add the game to the user's collection.

Also, I can't add DanceStar Party (PS3) to my game collection even though I own it! It says "Not available for my collection". The game has been released several months ago here in Europe.

When you click "follow" on a main gamepage, that's just tracking a game, which means you'll get updates when a news article or a video is posted about that game.

To add a game to your collection, after "add to list" on the search results, click "add to collection" (only works if they show it as released).

The game you mentioned only shows a "TBA" for the US. Post in the Missing Games Sticky Thread with proof (a link) showing it is released in Europe.

For future reference, since I've encountered this before when attempting to help someone else with a similar issue, the region of the site you are using matters when you are searching for games. Searching for DanceStar Party through GameSpot UK shows that it has already been released for that region, while the same search through GameSpot US returns TBA as it should.
