Hi there,

I tried a search but couldn't find any posts that covered this...

As a n00b I got some questions regarding pre-releases and their UPC's.

Is there anywhere you can find the UPC's for a movie that is due to be released? I've noticed that there are quite a few entries for movies that are due to be released that already have the UPC.

For example, I have 'Che Part 1 & 2' on pre-order but can't find it in the database. If I were to add it I'd like to be able to do it using the proper UPC and not just by the title.

What is the recommended way to enter pre-releases?

I've included two links to the release I've got on pre-order just in case someone can use them to show me the 'right' way to find this information.

Certain shops publish the UPC code for pre-releases. What I usually do is use google, type the title of the movie followed by the format (DVD or Blu-ray for example) and type UPC. Then it's a matter of browsing through the hits to find a shop that has that preorder with the UPC in the description.

I can recommend http://www.dvdsource.co.uk for this kind of info. That is my usual UPC source for adding pre-release profiles of UK Blu-rays and DVDs.
