SKUs - Blu-ray Forum

I'm pretty sure that's when you have like a box set or double feature, right? I have movie set as a double feature because the individual movie isn't in the database. Is there a way to split, or do I have to re submit the movie?

not sure what you are asking. So let's start from the beginning:

SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit, in essence it is any item that shows up in inventory, so for movies that could be, like you said, a box set like Planet of the apes collection, but also a single movie could have multiple SKUs, for example Prince of Persia combo pack and PoP BD only (two SKUs), or the Beauty and the Beast combo pack is available in BD or DVD packaging (again 2 SKUs, and actually there are more choices then that so it actually has more then two SKUs)

now as far as your question goes, if I understand correctly you are asking about your collection count. The count used to be about SKUs and "what you bought" but it has recently been changed to count "movies" so my guess a double feature should automatically count as 2, if it does not for that movie, I think your best bet is to bring it up in the feedback forum.

Yes that's sort of what I am asking. Basically the only version of my movie on BD.com is the double feature, so I added it as that. However with the new counting it counts towards 2 movies towards my colelction instead of one, so I wanted to know if there was a way to fix that

No, it is the new way of counting, on the other hand if you click on your collection you see

iKarma's movie collection (43 movies, 42 SKUs) so the number is still there if you would rather count items (SKUs)

Yeah but without clicking on my collection it says 43... I wouldn't want that. Is there a way to turn SKUs on and off?

I find it annoying aswell. But I don't think it's possible to turn it off.

Finally, I have been waiting for this feature.
The 'collection' feature of this website is absolutely awesome, I never a found a program for registering my collection in that I liked, but here it is so simple. But have had to count my boxsets manually and only I knew how many films I really had. This is great.
