| | Posted: | | | | I found no problem removing it... and so other people on several forum.
It is not correct to compare it with a slip case... a slip case has information on it, in this case there is no added value.
Then the slip case stay as part of the cover itself forever on the shelf... the sticker is an absolutely temporary gadget.
Who removed the sticker will always see the cover underneath that will not match the profile. |

| | Posted: | | | | As usual is a matter of common sense... If I follow strictly what some of you (not everybody) say, ANY sticker has to be left in the profile... even the "Hi-Def" or "PS3 Compliant" stickers!?  Come on! The sticker we are speaking of is simply a gadget/gift... it has been put over the cover for a particular choice of the publisher, but it could also be included within the case! What did you think if I scanned a movie poster included inside a boxset instead of the cover of the box itself? Just because it is outside the box it doesn't mean you have to prefer it.  IMHO it is not representative of the movie, because it is a kind of "joke", as it shows a slogan that paraphrases the original one. On the real cover there are also both the producer and the director names, lacking on the sticker. | | | | Last edited: by CyberPaul |

| | Posted: | | | | Nope... we pretty much have to take what Ken Cole decides since it is his program and database. I personally didn't have a preference one on this discussion. But was glad when Ken let it be known how he wanted it treated. Since he is the one person that can make the final decisions... and IMO he doesn't do it nearly enough.
And I personally see a huge difference between a sticker like this (that covers the entire case) and other ones such as the hi-def and PS3 Compliant. I definitely can follow Ken's line of thought on this one. | | | | Pete |

In this case the sticker is similar to a slip cover and so if it is the first release, that's the correct cover. This is similar to many US versions I've seen where the back of the set is a flimsy piece of paper with a glob of temporary glue holding it on. Those have the UPC, overview, info, etc. and are the correct back scan in those cases. I personally dislike them as they have a habit of getting lost around my house.
It is incorrect to state that the first in wins - the first release wins, until we enable multi-cover support. Ken: I have to ask why uis it incorrect to follow first in wins in multi-cover situations. We can't have more than one cover at this time, do we want people to ping-pong covers all over the place simply based on the fact that they both own a first release, same UPC, but different covers. That sounds like a very bad plan to me. Let's not forget that in the past we have seen as many as at least FOUR different covers for the same UPC and obviously at this tinme, we can still have only one cover in the Online, so why should not first in be the choice. Now I support multi-cover support BTW | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | I could be wrong Skip... but I believe Ken is talking about re-releases in that case. If they are both released at the same time then you can't have "It is incorrect to state that the first in wins - the first release wins" if there isn't a first release and then another release. So I believe when the releases are at the same time... then (and only then) it would be first release in stays. Until we get that multi-cover support... which I so can't wait for!  | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I hope so, Pete, that woukld be what I said about the issue and logical. I am with you on the multi-cover support (do I hear 4.0 coming some Monday soon?  )> I have never been happy about us being able to accomodate only one cover, even though most of what I own is Original release...there are a FEW exceptions that come to mind. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | I have several re-releases now that I would be able to upload... and am sure I will end up with more all the time as I seldomly buy when originally released. | | | | Pete |

But I think Ken had not received all the information to decide. I tried to give him the overall situation, so that he can decide the best choice. I think the main thing is that the image represents the film well, without providing distorted views of it. | | | | Last edited: by CyberPaul |
