Hello there,
Maybe I'm missing something. I'd like to add DVDs/BRs on my wish list from upcoming releases. How can I do that? When I push Add DVDs to wish list  and type Wolverine, Harry Potter, Bruno, I get nothing.
WHY???

Thanks
Marty

Upcoming releases have to be added to the DB by UPC.  If none is available, then they can't be added.  Wolverine should be in, as it has already been released, but the other two will probably take a while.

Edit: The problem you are having with 'Wolverine' is probably being caused by the fact that it isn't the title.  You need to check the Full Substring Filter box or use the actual title...X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
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.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Hi Marty,

Welcome to the forums!

Titles are identified in the online database by the combination of UPC (EAN, the barcode) and the locality ('country'). You didn't state where you're from so...

Wolverine hasn't been released in all countries yet; it starts now in the USA. If the USA isn't your country of residence and you're not buying internationally, Wolverine may still not be in the database.

Since the database is based on user contributions, you'll have to wait for the UPC/EAN to be known for your country and somebody has uploaded the title for the first time. Likewise for other new titles.
Eric

If it is important, say it. Otherwise, let silence speak.

It takes a little effort but you can look through DVDP for upcoming releases to find the ones you are looking for. Go to "Add DVD to Collection" > "Upcoming Releases". This will take you through many weeks of upcoming DVDs and, hopefully, the ones you are looking for will be there.

And don't forget the basic fact that this is a user built database... titles aren't added automatically, they have to be added by one of us before the rest of us can download them!

P.S. Bruno has an umlaut so won't show up unless you type in Brüno
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong

What I do if the film isn't in the database yet is clear the tickbox marked "download profile from Invelos" and add it manually. Then nearer the time I see if it's there and if it is, change the UPC/EAN of my manual profile to link it to the online profile.
That way I can still see how close the release date is and any ordering info if I pre-order it without having to wait for an online profile.
