Sorry, but my copy is the ORIGINAL copy of BD, I buyed it as soon as it was released.
If it is the original cover, and I have no reason to doubt you, and it was available all over Italy, then that is the one that should be in the db. If, however, it was only available for certain stores, then it shouldn't be...just my opinion. Now that is just too funy, my friend. Best Buy and Target could have different covers with the same UPC and they both would be available ALL OVER the US. Which one is the ORIGINAL. Like I said first one in wins the race. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Like I said first one in wins the race. While I have yet to see that situation, I guess it could happen. If it did, and I would have thought the answer to be obvious, in my opinion, the cover that should be used is the one that is available in every store. | | | 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.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

The adhesive is attached to the case. This being the case, my initial reaction stands: I'd submit the adhesive. Unless, as has been speculated, it was a cover limited to only certain retailers or a similar situation, in which case I'd submit image #2 in the original post. | | | Tags, tags, bo bags, banana fana fo fags, mi my mo mags, TAGS!

| | Posted: | | | | I would go with the sticker. That's what would be seen in the shops. I also can't find any evidence that this is a re-release or limited to certain retailers. Because of that, I would class the sticker the same as a slipcase - I'm sure it's also possible to buy it without the sticker, but we still keep the slipcase scans in those situations. |

| | Posted: | | | | I just checked Amazon.it, and the first cover you show for the District 9 Blu-ray is what is shown on their site.  Rory  | | | DVD Profiler for iOS as of 3/5/2013

Kluge, is this a new contribution or are you changing/updating an existing profile? My contribution is the first (with the stiker), now there is a pending update with the second cover, and it seems to me that this case is not covered by the rules... | | | | Updated List of Accepted Birth Years | | | | Last edited: by Kluge |

If your contribution is already in the database and you purchased the blu-ray when it was released with the sticker type cover, then I believe that the pending contribution is wrong and should be declined. |

I agree. Sounds like the pending contribution is the re-release for the purposes of this discussion, even if it looks like they simply stopped attaching the sticker. Kluge, if I were you I'd vote no and reference this thread in the no vote. | | | Tags, tags, bo bags, banana fana fo fags, mi my mo mags, TAGS!

Contribution Notes:
Scanned real front cover.
The previous one is just a sticker on top of the cover. The contributor know that there is a sticker on the cover, he claim that the "real" cover is the one under the sticker, and this is true, but for our purpose I think that the cover is what we see on the case (i.e. slip cases rules). | | | | Updated List of Accepted Birth Years |

Rules just speak of covers and slip cases. Nothing about stickers hiding totally covers. So the contributor is 100% right not to use the sticker. | | | | Images from movies | | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

| | Posted: | | | | I just got one of these on region a BD of Mirrors 2, thankfully that one is just he cover-art in lenticular faux 3d and the exact same otherwise, but it's just glued to the front of the cover (on top of shrinkwrap). I know that was teh frist release of that title, all the ones in stores now have no glued on lenticular sheet. Being faux 3d it is thicker and actually made of plastic.
Not saying this has anything to do with the disc in question, just pointing out it's happening all over and is something we'll have to write into the rules sooner than later. | | | | Last edited: by bigdaddyhorse |

Well, we use those glued on paper "covers" for rear cover scans on steelbooks or similiar, so why wouldn't we use it for the front if that's how it was released originally? Look at the cover for "The Social Network", that front is just a piece of cardboard, not a slipcover, that goes over the digipack. I still believe that the glued on, first release, front artwork should be in the online database. |
