Updated re-releases of a title under the same UPC/EAN/Disc ID Use for: Two or more releases of the same title with largely different cover images (e.g. Disc ID profiles shared among different box sets).

I just bought Conan: The Barbarian (1982) on Blu-ray.

Here is the cover



Notice the MPAA Rating logo lower on the lower left side of the rear cover:

Here is the current Canadian Version:


Notice the bilingual text, as well as the Canadian Rating logo lower on the lower left side of the rear cover

Here is the current US Version:

To me it is a big difference because I loathe being forced to buy bilingual versions.  But i can see how it might not be to others.

This also may fall under the mysterious update int eh future that Ken has hinted at, dealing with Slipcovers and Non-slipcover versions, and this might, or probably will, fall into that category.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen this before.  Most times if it gets a Canadian release, and it has French audio, it gets a bilingual cover. 

Pretty sure I should just hold off and keep it local, but wanted to see what others thought.

I am not sure I understand your question. Assuming you are wondering when the cover images of two releases of the same title with the same UPC/DiscID, both in the canadian locality (profiles ending with .3)  are largely different, this is how I interpret it:

- Same front cover, same overview on the back cover, only difference in the back cover is in the relative positions of elements: not different enough.
- Front cover: One with only the english title, the other with two titles, one in french, one in english: different enough.
- Back cover: one with overview in english only, the other with the overview in both languages: different enough, even if the english overview is identical (this is rare because the overview is often shortened to make room for both languages).

Sorry, yes the differences in the Canadian profiles.  I posted the US profile to show that the covers are the same.

The only difference between my copy and the US version is the Rating in the lower right.

Mine is a Canadian release.  So I was asking if the covers are different enough to submit a UPC variant for Canada.  To me there is a BIG difference, but I can see how others would think otherwise.  I'd love to contribute a variant UPC, but not sure if it'd be better to wait to see what Ken's other solution is.  The Disc IDs match, so everything else appears to be the same.

Now if the only difference was the Canadian ratings logo than I'd say no.

But if the ratings differ (one being american and the other canadian), then there is no need for an alternate version: the cover with the canadian rating belongs to a canadian locality profile, the other to a US locality profile. Or am I missing someting?

...and the bilingual cover should be a Quebec locality?

... most Canadian covers are within the Canadian locality.  Canada (Quebec) releases usually have French and sometimes English.  Many of the releases throughout Canada have English art one one side and French on the other (with the other language also bein shown in smaller fonts like the Example above).

Indeed. A sure way to distinguish a Canada (Quebec) profile (.19) from a Canada profile (.3) is that the title and overview are in French.

I guess I'll go ahead and contribute it, see if the Screeners approve.

Tell us the outcome.

So if I understand the OP, yes you would use an alternate profile if the title was released in Canada with both a bilingual and English-only cover.

Yup... that is the same reason I got when it was just a bit of text on the back of the cover. As I said earlier in the thread didn't really think it would go through. I personally think it should but Invelos disagrees.

I agree, but I think it might because of the other plan Ken has for dealing with Cover issues.  Not a huge deal, I'll just keep it local, but is a shame it can't be shared with others.
