And just where are you getting the cast info from since third party DB's aren't allowed as per the rules?

Here's a point in case for you then, concerning cast credits.

James bond film "The Living Daylights" Special Edition version, when it was first released on DVD in the UK two of the Actors had not given permission to use there names for the DVD, the initial release was pulled off the shop floor with immediate effect after just one day, it took the company months to try and get permission from the two, but they only succeeded with one of them, so out there in UK DVD land there are a few people who are luck enough to have some rare compared to the majority, unfortuneately I'm not one of them, as they were pulling the disc's when I went into the shops around me at the time.

One of the Actors was the star "Timothy Dalton" the other I never did find out about. So like the rules state you should only take the credits from the source.

not directed at you Skip, looks like I was typing at the same time.

Yes took them quite a bit of time for Dalton's approval, but as said still haven't been able to find how the second name was, so there are some first day releases that were sold with credits that nobody else here in the UK have, Collector's item or what?

Just my luck, I was out of the Country on the first day, got home around midnight went straight up the town the following morning only to be denied a purchase, had too wait about six months to complete the collection, they were being released one a week or one a fortnight at the time of first release.

But the topic is about Pre-Releases not films that have been released to the public. I put the pre-release info into my wish list. When the dvd is release to the public, I then update all the info from the dvd and submit the changes.

Likewise, but until the DVD is released you cannot get cast/crew info, unless you are getting it from a third party DB, can you.

I too frequently use my wishlist, currently hold some 800 titles, some have been released so therefore those profiles should be as up-to-date as user have submitted. But as I staed earlier, I have some that for the moment are manual profiles, as they are only just out in the cinema's / still in production, how could I submit cast / crew for those...see my post "Here's a point in case"

Or even the loss of one of the actors during production of Heath Ledger / Batman: The Dark Knight.
Anything could happen and does.

However, Steve pre-release is pre-release and by its nature is subject to all kinds of changes right up to the point that it is no longer pre-release.

In order to prevent users to submit information who do not use the DVD itself as the authoritative source for information, pre-release contributions should not be allowed. Furthermore, submitting new profiles and changes to accepted profiles should only be possible with an inserted disc, and the containing ID should always be sent as a verification method.

At this time there is no way to add disk-ids for BluRay (and HDdvd) disks. If we switched to this system there would be no way to add any BluRay profiles to the system!

As someone that has just started to buy BluRay disks, I would find this a problem.

Maybe I overreacted, but I really do feel there should be better way to check if someone has submitted the correct data. I know the screeners can see the reliability statistics, but we just have to guess or know from experience if a contributor is trustworthy.

I'm not sure who you are talking to since you have forgotten to use quotes. But I don't need a third party database to tell me that Ellen Page was in Juno for instance.
