| | Posted: | | | | Depends.
If the release has it's own upc# then yes, but if it shares one with a standard release then likely no since usually it's first come first served and in that case usually it's of the standard release.
For example Target's exclusive Avengers BR edition with the bonus disc shares the same UPC# as the regular release, but the profile already has the standard artwork attached so that's what stays. The Target artwork will have to be kept local for the time being until a time when Ken allows for multiple covers for the same profile. |

| | Posted: | | | | There's no "exclusive" cover art for the Target release, just some stickers that have to be removed. | | | 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! |

| | Posted: | | | | Both your links are exactly the same, but you are correct, the standard release uses the same artwork that is on the inner keepcase. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I think slip covers should not be allowed. In most cases that would accommodate most users, and we would have fewer discussions like this.  |

Furthermore, slipcovers take up precious room on the shelves. Most often that not they are identical to the cover, contributing nothing new, just being harder to scan properly. |

| | Posted: | | | | I have had the opposite experience. It seems seldom they are identical to the inner cover... and many times you need the slip cover to get the full effect of the cover art. Where half the cover art is on the slip case and the other half is on the inner case... either poking through holes are shown through a clear part of the slip cover.
I for one would be against never scanning the slip cover... I definitely prefer the rules as they are now. | | | | Pete |

I agree 110%. Me too. This wasn't a big issue for DVDs as the keepcase cover art was as large as the case. With Blu-ray, however, the keepcase cover art is smaller in order to accommodate the blu-ray logo on the case. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
