Hi everyone.

I have some pre-release discs sitting in my local database which aren't in the online. I'd like to submit them (in case others also want to put them in their wish lists) but because I can't find the UPC, I can't submit. Can anyone help me find the UPC of these?

  • Star Wars the Clone Wars season 1 Blu-ray (locality: US)

  • Saint Seiya - Lost Canvas volume 1 Blu-ray (locality: Japan)

  • Terminator Salvation Blu-ray (locality: UK)


  • I currently use the following sites to find UPC's:
    US: http://www.deepdiscount.com/
    UK: http://www.selectcheaper.com/

    Other sites to find UPC or the UPC's of the discs I'm looking for would really help me to update both my local data as well as submit to the online. Thanks in advance!

    What sometimes helps is www.preisroboter.de
    Also, you can Google the title + "EAN" or "UPC", which occasionally gives results.

    Some online shops like www.bn.com and www.bol.de and DVD Empire also tend to provide UPC's for future releases.

    A few additional sites that list UPC codes for titles that have already been added to their database

    I found another interesting one for UK UPC's:
    http://www.therewindforums.co.uk/

    and for Japanese releases:
    http://www.geo-online.co.jp
    http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/7andy/index.html

    Note for Japanese releases: in Japan they call the barcode not UPC or EAN, but JAN???.

    Also the online stores:
    DVD Source
    Select Cheaper
    Borders

    I'm not recommending the stores BTW, just their information!

    Yes; it uses exactly the same formation as EAN (which also encomasses UPC adding simply by adding a 0 on the front) but is what they call anything starting with the Japan country code (ie. 49), I presume on principle since they're not in Europe...

    Lots of interesting (well to me) info on EANs, their formation and a chec-digit calculator at:

    http://www.barcodeisland.com/ean13.phtml

    (Handy for certain companies that, say, release their internal reference for a DVD but not the EAN, BUT you can then work out the EAN if you know how they use the internal reference, eg. 2|entertain DVDs are (almost) always:

    5-014503-'DVD code' 2 'Check digit'

    So if you find it's bbcdvd1800 (which is easier than finding the EAN usually) it would be:

    5-014503-180027 (the 7 is the check digit which the site above works out for you)

    FWIW this is 2|entertain's recent (excellent) Doctor Who serial The War Games release
    It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong
