Looking for a good Cataloging Program for Windows

I'm looking for a good cataloging program for Windows. I want something that I can use to keep track of my movies, books, and video games. I would love if the program had images for said merchandise, or even the option to put in my own images for each individual item in the collection. Also, I'm looking for something that is free, but am not against paying for something that is really worth it. But free first, because I am running on a tight budget as of late.

Anyone know of anything that fits the bill?

    Well this sounds like something that a databse program like Access could handle more than competently.

    Honestly, this is a simple enough problem that it can be solved with Excel just as easily as with Access. Or, better yet, try Google Spreadsheets. It's free.

    Collectorz (http://www.collectorz.com/) has the kind of software you're looking for. It's a little more professional looking than an Access DB or Excel spreadsheet, but it's not free.

    Yeah, I know of the spreadsheet solution. I was just looking for something with a little more presentation. Almost like the Mac program that has shelves and shows everything in your collection visually. I wouldn't mind looking into paying for an exceptional program either. Thanks for the suggestions though.

    It's too bad you don't have a Mac, since Delicious Library does exactly what you want.
    I've found that for the PC, you almost have to have more than one program.
    For DVDs and Blu-rays, I use Invelos DVD Profiler. The unlimited version is only $30, and its presentation and organization are great. The custom filters are handy too - things like "all DTS titles" are quite useful, as are runtime filters, finding titles in your collection based on an actor, etc.

    I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?
