I'm sure this as probably be asked before but here goes would it be possible to add a check box so when a DVD is reissued you can add it to the data base. So when you make the changes to the existing profile you would contribute it but when you go to the contribution page there would be a check box that could say something like New/Reissue/New Edition so that the system knows not to overwrite the existing profile but to create another then when someone enters the EAN they would be given a choice of which one to download like at the moment you get differing regions to choose you could also have a choice of case type/edition allowing people to get the correct profile/Images  for the version of the DVD they have.
A example i have is The Ultimate Mummy Collection which was originally released in a digipack but was reissued in a Slip case with keep case's i can't upload the profile and images for this because the EAN and Disc images are already assigned to the digipack if you could upload it as a new submission people could then have the choice of downloading the profile and images for the one they have.

Be gentle with me first post in features 

From now on: do not post any feature requests if the matter is already covered by the Rules 

Actually, I liked ninehours' idea!

I am just asking, in case he has some idea that has not already been seen.

This is a problem that Ken will have to address one way or another, sooner or later.  How old are DVD's, 10 years, maybe a bit more ?  There's gonna be more and more of those that went oop that will be re-released with different art-work and features.

If DVDP is aiming at becoming the most complete and accurate dvd database, it cannot keep the "Do not contribute re-releases" rule much longer.

My 2 cents anyway !

Agreed it would be nice if it can be handled, but it needs to extend to disc id as well as UPC level as I have one or two box set films that are straight re-releases from other boxsets.

I seem to recall somebody suggesting the program be set to use a combination of the UPC/disc id, I can't think of many scenarios where this wouldn't give a unique identifier.

You "liked" his idea. What made you change your mind?

He didn't change his mind, actually

why not when you check the "Re-Issue box" that is being asked for, the program woufl add the letter "R" to the end of the EAN/UPC to signify it is a re-issue/re-release.
