It is ALSO NOT on the BACK COVER or the SPINE...Unicus, as you WELL know. It is only listed as part of the specifics in the FEATURES area. Just what are you trying to prove.


Where in the rules does it say anything about BACK COVER or the SPINE?  All the rule says is it must come from the DVD box.  You just admitted that it is on the box, albiet in the FEATURES area...but the rules don't say where on the box it has to come from.

I am sorry, my friend, as I said I am trying to keep everybody on one page, whgile nearly EVERY comment you make is designed to encourage users to fly off and do whatever they want, if you can figure out to parse the language to permit it.


You are trying to keep everybody on your page.  At least my interpretation is based on what the rules actually say.  Your interpretation requires that we pretend the rules say something they do not.

Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Notice that after the first post in this thread, HFA has kept quiet.  I think he may have realized what a can of worms he was opening with is rather innocent initial question.

It's not a successful post if you don't get at least 3 pages of "discussion"

Wow! I don't know what to say.  I didn't expect all this turmoil and a post this long.    I apologize for not participating.  I was on vacation without a computer, (imagine the horror).  I promise not to mention "widescreen" again.  I didn't know that the previous discussion existed.  I read all 12 pages and I think I understand.  However, this is apparently a very controversial subject.  Perhaps more clarification in the rules may be helpful.  Part of the problem seems to be the inconsistent way DVD cover information is presented by the industry.

I will resubmit the title change as "northbloke" suggests.

Thanks to everyone.

And since the Full Screen Version is marked specifically, there is NO FIURTHER need to distinguish any further, since there is NO SUCH distinction on the Widescreen.


I am not worried about this title; but in general how does this work? If a DVD has other versions then  are we to try and identify all other versions (even if we don't own them) to make sure they don't already have editions. Or can we stick to the rules and add an edition to the one we do own so long as it's from the drop down or the box.

Too late, north, we now know it's all your fault.     I don't know what it is but it feels good to have somebody else to blame. My wife tells me its all my fault.

I think as long as it sticks to the rules I can't see any harm in submitting. If the other editions are already clearly marked I'm sure you'll hear about it soon enough!
