Of course this week at BB, both versions are $14.99 (or $9.99 with any old dvd sacrificed).
Without this thread I wouldn't know the UPC from the sticker, that went out in trash with the shrinkwrap. |

Except for the slipcover everything is exactly the same though. If I was a slipcover tosser (that might sound dirty and/or wrong to those over the pond) there would be nothing different. At least most store exclusives used to have a bonus disc, or some extra inserts like poster replicas. This has nothing but a new slipcover and a sticker over the UPC. The only reason the sticker is there is to seperate them in Best Buy's system, although I can see the argument for seperating here also I still feel there's more reason not to. It just doesn't seem special enough to warrent another profile. The slipcovers aren't even that different looking, just a differnt border really (slightly smaller art, but the same art).
But if I am on the short end of this debate, at least I can go make my scan and slipcover match. 
I am not sure why any of this matters as it doesn't really affect anybody other than the users who purchase the different version. The only argument I can see against the additional profile is that it takes up space in the database and, unless there is a shortage of space, I don't really see that as an issue.  of course this does mean the cast list etc will need to be maintaned separately on the two versions. | | | | Paul |

why would anyone want stickers over the UPC? I've had many scans declined for still having a sticker on front! You fine yet slightly insane people hate stickers! You don't want them for upc's now, do you?!?
Store-exclusive titles use different (stickered) UPC's. I've submitted stickered UPC's for Friends with Benefits BD/DVD (Target Exclusive) and a few others to differentiate them from the mass-released UPC, and also to not have to worry about it getting overwritten or having to keep it local. As long as the sticker is readable (not blurry or chopped off numbers).
The May 1st release of Suits: Season One has a Target exclusive bonus disc, and you can bet that that will have a different UPC than the mass-released UPC. I stand corrected about Suits: Season One. The bonus disc was just "glued" to the back of the slip cover and then there was shrink wrap over that. I'll have to lock down the disc info for this one then. | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |
