So I'm going through my collection and making sure everything is what it says it is. For instance, I have lots of former rentals with alternate UPC's but same disc ID's as what's in DB. Alternate UPC's are easy to make a new profile for, just scan and change. I've done all of those I didn't feel like when I got the discs.

Now I can see the finish line, but have 2 more former rents which pose new issues. Blood Work and Fear Dot Com both have the same disc ID as the standard retail versions. The retail versions both come in snapper cases. My versions are former rents in keepcase covers, but have no UPC anywhere. Since they share the same disc ID, I don't think can't submit by that either as someone else already did and I dont' want to overwrite a perfectly fine, and way more common, profile.

What to do about this? I'm thinking change the things different locally and lock em down, or is there some way I can submit these as alternate packages despite not having UPC's?

That is the only option I am aware of.  Ken made a manual exception for oe of the T2 releases, but I don't know that he will for a rental release.

Depends, are those other discs submitted by UPC or Disc-ID?
The Disc-ID in the 'Discs' section means nothing(!) see this post

So try submittig and see if it comes up as "New Submission" or an update.

When I put the disc(s) in the drive and click 'submit by disc ID', it knows them and offers me complete profiles (US or Canada). I can audit them from there, but don't want to alter a legit profile. So it looks like they are submitted both ways. I can't change the UPC number to disc ID as it won't accept letters in "change UPC". Local it is, no biggie. Since they share disc ID it's really no big deal.

EDIT: Got it. I just have to assign to disc ID from the change UPC screen. Worked fine for both!
