| | Posted: | | | | I've waded my way through various threads on where we can take the "Edition" field from, but I've got a specific example to which I couldn't find a clear answer, so... I've got a blu-ray of 'Horrible Bosses', in a HD Keepcase, with a Slip Cover. The slip cover doesn't show an edition, just 'Horrible Bosses', but the enclosed keepcase-cover does show an edition: 'Totally Inappropriate Edition'. The actual disc, with loads of extra's including an extended cut, actually is that 'Totally Inappropriate Edition', obviously - the question just is: do we actually list that edition on the profile, as it's not mentioned on the outer slipcase, just on the keepcase artwork? The rules say this: Quote:
If you are using a non-standard description, take it from the DVD box So, the question is: what exactly is the "DVD box"? Is that the slipcover, meaning I can't enter the edition, or is it the actual box, meaning I can enter the edition? |

By "actual box" I assume you mean the paper insert in the "actual box"? If so, then I would say use the slipcover. --------------- |

| | Posted: | | | | Why is it that every rule has to come up with its own different terminology? Why not just "take it from the cover"? IMHO, yes it's a valid edition. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

I have that title and the slip cover on mine does have the edition on it. I wounder if there could be two different slip covers. Mine is 794043-150234. If there are multiple slips for the same release then this may be a "first come, first served" deal. |

| | Posted: | | | | For me, 'take it from the DVD box" means anywhere on the 'box' so, yes, valid edition. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

If we just took it from the slip cover, I know of a few Anchor Bay TV releases where the "The Complete ____ Season" is underneath. If we only went by the slip cover, we apparently couldn't include it... (The title I'm referring to is Spartacus - Blood and Sand as well as Vengeance which is the second season). |

But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
