The Blu-ray UPC043396426696 double feature Black Hawk Down/Tears of the Sun was originally released on 1-16-2007 per the download I did when I bought it and was changed and approved to the re-release date of 7-3-2016. Per the rules the original release date never should be changed. I don't want to start a ping-pong match but I bought mine used in 2015, which is before it was released, so should I change it back or leave it alone?

Seems like whoever changed it used Amazon. Do you have a source for the 1/16/2007 date?

The version of Black Hawk Down that I have has a UPC of 043396150232.  I preordered this version which has a 1/16/2007 release date.  Not sure about the set with a UPC of 043396426696, but I'm guessing the release date is much later given the much higher numbering of the UPC.

Edit:  According to pictures, the back cover has a (c) of 2013 for the design and layout which means this was released in 2013 (most likely).

According to Blu-ray.com this is a Walmart.com exclusive.  Per Walmart, this was released on 4/29/2013.

Outstanding, I got it used from MovieStop before they when out of business. Mine does have the (c) of 2013, so I'm guessing that's it. I will make the changes to 4-29-2013 and resubmit. Which means the new changes to 7-3-2016 needs to be an alternate version.

Just curious, but why would there be an alternate version?

I thought that's how you handle re-releases of the same UPC with different information.

Are the two releases vastly different; I was under the impression the only difference was the price drop and the date of said price drop?  Unless something has changed I don't recall a price drop being reason for an alternate version.

Alternate versions are supposed to be for releases of the same title with largely different cover images or with significantly different content.

So your saying I should have accepted the release date that was later than the date I bought my version. If not, why was the release date accepted by the screener(s)?

No it should never have been accepted. I would submit a correction with the info you gave here. The other submitter should have kept it local and locked it.

As Addicted2DVD stated, submitting the original release date is correct.  The date of the price drop shouldn't have been approved; do you know if that contribution received a majority of yes votes?
