the rear of the jacket here

It says "Legacy Series" and "Special Edition" right on the front cover.  Why would you even feel the need to look elsewhere for the edition?

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.

As noted, by James and Pete, there is no requirement, as with the title, that it come from the front...just that it be on the box.  While this is a popular misconception, it is a misconception none the less.

My guess is, because 2-Disc Special Edition is more descriptive than just 'Special Edition'.

I think that is a pretty good guess... and the reason why I personally would probably except it for my local.

It seems unnecessary to me to search elsewhere if in fact the front cover itself has enough information to make the Title:Edition combination unique.

I agree. The rules don't help us when "the DVD box" has multiple valid edition descriptors, but when a 2nd or 3rd descriptor cannot be added without abbreviating something, I have voted no.

I like to be able to see at a glance which of my DVD's are 2 disc without looking at the artwork rear .,
but an argument/ rebutal  like this I just lock off and let be .. 

We have "Count As" now and this is a displayable column in the Collection List window.

"2-Disc Special Edition Digitally Remastered with Completely Restored Audio" is even more descriptive, and probably more appropriate if one is taking their cue from that back cover.

I never said it was necessary, just that I understood the reason why it might be done.  I'm of the same mind as James, as long as it fits, I won't vote 'no'.

On this we agree (minus the spelling error).  The title would include the two film titles listed on the front cover, just like we have done with every other double feature, forever.

Like you have done.  Like some other users have done.  Not like I would do... SNIP

Bolding by me.

I don't find it interesting at all.  In fact, I find my stance quite consistent...if you read everything I have written in this thread.

As your statement indicates, you want to go solely off of the front cover, entering both titles, because that would indicate a collection and what that collection contains.  That is not how I would do it.  While I would take the title from the front, I would use the spine to determine what that title would be.  If both titles are on the spine, as in the example you provided, then that is the title I would use.  If they aren't, as in the example Pete gave, I would not.

I understand your line of thinking Martian... and I agree with you.
