I'm updating my games database with recently purchased games, and have
hit
upon a dilemma.

I have two copies of Animal Crossing: WW. I have one copy already in the
database, and generally, I don't include dupes as I don't intend keeping
them.
I do, however, keep different versions or regions of the same games (e.g
Sonic
1 EUR and JAP, or the original and re-release versions, or original and
special editions).

So, I *do* intend keeping both copies of AC, but they're the same region
and
version.

Should I include it or not?

Yes, but not as a seperate entry. You need a 'number of copies' field..
