Recently, Paramount has been celebrating their 100-year Anniversary by releasing Blu-ray movies, some with alternate front/back covers and different UPC codes than previous releases.

An example I of this have is The Hunt for Red October Blu-ray.  The front and back covers of the new release have a new image layout that differs from the previous release.

A new UPC code sticker on the outer wrap is placed over the original UPC code on the back cover, with a different code (032429-115751), not currently defined in the database. 

However when you remove the outer wrap, the back cover has the same UPC code as the original entry (097361-376288), yet the front/back cover images are different than the original DVD Profiler entry.

The question here is should a new profile for this title be created using the New UPC Sticker and New Cover Images, or do I just keep this as a local entry to myself under the original UPC?  Thanks for all advice and responses!

These are part of Paramounts 100th Anniversary celebration. Same thing as what Universal is doing.

Some of those have been added into the database.

A good idea is to link to the stores website in your contribution notes.
I think Best Buy and Walmart are the stores that carry these Paramount 100th Ann. releases.

Release date and SRP should be listed on those sites.

You would use the UPC# that is on the sticker since that's how it is when you buy it in the store.
