In the database is a somewhat poor scan. I found a better, HQ stock photo online. The problem is that the scan in the database uses the slip cover, the scan that I found does not, and there are obvious differences between the two (though in this case they are mostly similar, I do have another where the slip cover and case look nothing alike).

So, which is the more important choice: seeing what is there when the slip cover is on or having cleaner/better quality scans?

The rules say the original case so that would be the slipcover, poor quality or not.

-----------If a title is re-released with the same UPC, but different cover images do not contribute the new images. This includes cases where a DVD was initially released in a slipcase, which was later removed. As explained in the introduction you may use your personal images in your local database, but they will not show online.--------------

The slipcover stays.  Sorry.

What's the title and release?  Maybe someone can submit/post a better scan.

This is one of those areas where there is no interpretation needed, it is always the slip cover.
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.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Agreed. If the original Slip Cover differs from the case artwork, then it's gotta be the Slip Cover scans used.

Bleh... I'm not sure how I've missed that... or rather it didn't interpret in my brain correctly

It isn't that bad. It only came up because the other seasons' images looked much better.

Of course, you don't have to use the contributed version for yourself.

Naturally. I just have to remember that I locked the image as a reminder not to submit it to the database!


On a side note, I'm glad that I didn't get harassed for asking a question with an answer that should have been more obvious to me

Remember, you are supposed to contribute your own work.  If you found it online, there may be legal issues for using it.  Just keep that in mind.
