| | Posted: | | | | Just wondering if anyone can help out or get me pointed in the right direction. Here's the problem: I have a Walmart receipt with a partial UPC code listed. Somehow I forgot to enter it into my DVD Profiler and now..... I have no clue what DVD it is! Usually I go to the Images directory and search for partial UPC numbers to find out what image is associated with it. Since I didn't enter it, I don't have the image. I wonder if someone might be able to try this with their image directory and help me identify my missing DVD. The partial UPC code I have is: 03242902258. I know this is silly of me, but I can't for the life of me remember which DVD it is.
For the sake of this little error on my part, do you think it would be a worthy "future feature suggestion" to be able to search for DVDs by UPC number? Just curious on your thoughts.
Thanks to all! |

| | Posted: | | | | Do you know whether 03242902258 are the first 11 or last 11 characters of the UPC? My opinion is probably the first 11 since DVD UPCs should normally start with a 0 or a 7; if that's the case then it should be 032429-022585 (the 5 can be calculated as a checksum) but the title isn't in the database. If I'm right you should have a copy of the Walmart exclusive of a double pack containing Shooter and the Manchurian Candidate... which needs contributing as a boxset when you have the time  | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: | | | | Michael's Movie Mayhem has a list of 114,081 DVD releases (Region 1) which you can search by title, studio, genre, UPC, all. I did a search on the two number combinations Mithi mentions (032429022585 and 903242902258) but got the following answer: "Sorry, no records were found for your search." Is it possible that the DVD wasn't a Region 1 title? I don't know if Wal-Mart sells other than R1s in the US, though. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

As I said in my post it was a Walmart exclusive so probably didn't end up on the list for that reason. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |
