| | Posted: | | | | I just bought a DVD UPC 883929-086467 that I would like some input on.
The title on the cover is: The Mighty Boosh Special Edition D.V.D - You can see the front cover here: http://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Boosh-Special-DVD-Seasons/dp/B002BVUBK0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1289600514&sr=1-1-spell.
Since "Special Edition" is in the middle of the title - does it belong in the Title Field, Edition Field or both?
It is currently listed in the database as option 1.
Do we add "DVD" or "D.V.D" to the title? | | | | Last edited: by Kathy |

Title: The Mighty Boosh
Edition: Special Edition D.V.D. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.

| | Posted: | | | | What is a D.V.D. is it some kind of DVD? Anyway, I would never put the media type in the edition field. In fact, the rules tell us not to. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | To me it looks like: Title: The Mighty Boosh Special Edition D.V.D. Edition: None The reason being is it's a box set, so DVD should be plural, but since it's a comedy troop maybe they are calling their box set the Special Edition D.V.D. Just an opinion, nothing I'd get worked up over.  | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

| | Posted: | | | | If you want to enter "D.V.D" (with dots) (possibly to distinguish it from the Blu-Ray), please note that on the cover there's no dot after the last "D"  I for one wouldn't enter the media format, but can see why (in this case) one might opt for it. Anyhow, if you, in this case, choose to enter the media format, the approach of the Martian seems to be correct to me | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Title: The Mighty Boosh
Edition: Special Edition Agreed; Rules specifically say NOT to enter the media type in the Edition field so Special Edition D.V.D would be incorrect IMO (unless you would like to argue D.V.D is a random set of letters that has nothing to do with a DVD ) | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong | | | | Last edited: by Voltaire53 |

| | Posted: | | | | Looking at the cover, it appears to me that all of this goes into the title.
There is in particular no indication of an edition distinguishing this from any other edition. | | | | Hans |

| | Posted: | | | | Knowing the comedy duo's style I'd agree that the whole thing is a title: The Mighty Boosh Special Edition D.V.D
If you wanted to, you could always put "7 Disc Set" in the edition field. |
