Until you can get the rules changed they need to be followed just like any other contribution. Whether we like a rule or not is of no matter.
But if the rule makes no sense there's no need to make the contribution at all. Just how much trouble is the maintenance of the online database worth? You've spend eleven pages to not quite decide how to enter one title.
--------------- But I have decided going by the case, the rules and how the votes has come in so far. I strongly believe the way it is currently in the database is wrong. And I updated to the best of my ability following how I see the title and how I read the rules. Just some people on the forum don't agree and they haven't said anything to convince me that I am wrong on the matter. | | | | Pete |

Just out of curiosity, what would you enter as the title IF you had to contribute this release:
**SNIP**
or any number of others just like them?
Can't say without seeing the entire case. As I eluded to earlier, while I take the title from the front of the case, I often use the entire case to determine what that title is. Let me help you out: Front with spine:  Back:  | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

Anywhere else on the case would be no differently then looking anywhere other then the front cover. No more or less weight then the spine. I did, in fact, miss that.  I guess what I'm asking is this debate is obviously over what title to use. "The Parent Trap" is on the cover, with "2-Disc Collection" in the middle of it, so it leaves it open to interpretation (obviously  ). Now, on the proof of purchase tab, it says "The Parent Trap: 2-Disc Collection" (added colon by the studio). Going with the reasonable part (  ), wouldn't it be safe to say that is the title as given by the distribution company? It doesn't look like Disney follows that convention, but puts enough on the tab to uniquely identify the release; look at the tab for Pinocchio:  |

In other words, child profiles cannot be made using a unique Disc ID for each. I don't see how that matters in this discussion about the title of the set. The title of the release is still the title of the release. | | | | Pete |

Sorry, but what about Die Hard: The Ultimate Collection?
Am I the only one who thinks The Ultimate Collection is an Edition? 
Nope, you are not the only one. I can see that going both ways...depending on personal preference. Because of no time time I couldn't follow the newer posts, but in general I can see also the use of both version. (as title/as Edition) But for the op asked title I think it is hard to decided, because there are so much similar box sets, with two different movies that are also a 2-movie collection or similar. I think the only small difference is the additional Parent Trap title. But why shouldn't we use this as title descriper? |

Edition: Universal Cinema Classics Double Feature I must disagree. Double feature is not on the front cover. While I can agree to the spine for verification, we cannot add words to the front cover based upon that. |

Well I've been trying in the past to get the Legacy Series DVD of The Sting that has the wording 2 Disc Special edition on the back of the jacket, and it gets voted down every time because the 'Edition' is not on the front jacket.. I've always said if it is listed anywhere it should be used .. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.
