Can we stop converting the initial Vinegar Syndrome Limited Edition releases to the standard releases, please?

The Limited Edition release gets created first since it's released first, then someone changes it to a standard release, and then a second Limited release entry is created. You can also tell by the lower ID number.

I had the limited editions in my collection already and now I have to go back and fix everything. Obviously this is a reoccurring problem.

I have a request, not sure if this is the place to post it.

Being quite busy most of the time I try to skin and scroll the main page for new releases that jump out at me.
Sometimes new release announcements or news are updated after their initial post but the additions are not mentioned in the highlights on the main page (see WAC new releases posts). If one does not open the page they would not know, if they only rely on the highlights.
In the highlights there is usually one part in bold and one part in normal style. It would be great if the titles of the movies were put in quotation marks (air bunnies) or otherwise easily distuinguishable from the rest.
I know, in the normal style part of the highlight it's already in italic that the titles are written however I think the bold highlight doesn't. Any chance that can happen`?
I know it's not much but just by accident I found that "I Dream Of Jeannie" was going to be released on BD, and "The Cat O'Nine Lives". I think just italic is not enough.

This happens when maybe one hasn't been able to check the site for a few days and there's too many new items and not a lot of attention is paid, or not every news article is opened.

The search blu-ray collection includes the ability to search by HDR10 or Dolby Vision. Could that feature be added to iTunes, MA, and Digital collections too?

For Comic Books: Please add a Master Comic Book ID so they have main entries that have all the volumes added into one place with those little flags next to them for like how DVDs and Blu-rys do.

Also please add a Comic Book company for 'Chuang Yi'

For Video Games: Please add the ability to add NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Gamecube, PS1 and PS2 games to Blu-ray.com.

[BigOnAnime]

It'd be nice if they also allowed PSP games and thus UMD Video.

[moviefan1234]

And VHS and Laserdiscs, i know they prob won't but some collector's do collect those

[TheDean]

Can we chose what cover we see in out collection? Some people like flat art. Some like the art with a spine.

So would it be possible to chose the cover we see in our collections?

Thanks.

Usually on pre-orders there is "notify me when available".

A page like this, barcode number is added, but no ASIN exists yet. So how can I get a notification when it's live on Amazon?

[BigOnAnime]

Can someone leave a note that the 5.1 tracks are only for the movies? Additionally, can it be pointed out that the TV series had all of Krystal LaPorte's lines for the main character Mirai Kuriyama in the English dub replaced by Kira Vincent-Davis?

Can a note be left on this indicating that the uncut version is Japanese 2.0-only, and that the edited version is English 2.0-only? You cannot play the English audio on the uncut version, and you cannot play the Japanese audio on the edited version.
https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/Mezzo-Forte-DVD/152384/

Can a note be left on this indicating that Spanish 2.0 is not available for Blue Seed Beyond?
https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/Blue-See...on-DVD/100272/

Can a note be left on this indicating this has the Kikuchi soundtrack?
https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/Dragon-B...One-DVD/31481/

Lastly, would it be possible to have a "<Not Specified>" or "TBA" option for audio options after you select a language? For example, this release I know is going to have Japanese and English audio, but I don't know what codec nor the channels, and I can't find that info. Like as a placeholder until the codec is known, it could look like "Japanese TBA, English TBA" so someone knows what languages a release is in rather than seeing "TBA" and continuing to wonder.

About a year ago Kijkwijzer (dutch rating system) added a 14 and 18 age ratings that haven't been updated on the site yet.

Also a few bigger Benelux studios are missing from the site:
-EIC (no working site)
-Source 1 Media
-Red Square Film
-TDM Entertainment

Anyone know if there's a bug preventing certain cover photos from being uploaded? I've tried to upload covers for these twice now, and they've not gone through. I've not received a PM saying they were rejected like I have with covers for DVDs.

On the "Manage Covers" screen when uploading new covers for Blu-rays and DVDs, would it at all be possible to also add to the "Important Note" what the "Crop" box does, and how it removes white space? It would lead to more people leaving it checked because I've seen too often images with too much white space. Though others have left it checked when they shouldn't and it cropped actual white space from a cover. I've had to reupload certain front and back covers because they left it checked when they shouldn't in order to preserve what was actually on the cover(s).

[BigOnAnime]

Can a note be left on this explaining that Banner of the Stars III (which is found only in the extras for some reason when it shouldn't as it's a direct sequel) is Japanese 2.0-only?
https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/Banner-o...es-DVD/213206/

Can a note be left on this indicating that the OVA is Japanese 2.0-only? For whatever reason, the OVA is the only episode that wasn't dubbed.

When listing links to retailers, is there a way to show ParamountMovies, MovieSpree, etc? We have the option to put these links, but they don't appear on the actual listing.

[Brandon K]

It's been discussed before, but in light of the site's recent downtime - a rare and isolated incident - I'd like to float again if some simple improvements that should be quick could be added to either the Export feature or the Printer Friendly feature.

I do like the Printer Friendly feature, but it doesn't have the UPCs/EANs that the Export has, and I like the fact that the Export feature would be CSV. These would be my most-wanted fields for the Export feature, and anything else would be a bonus:

- UPC/EAN
- Title
- Type (4K, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD, etc)
- Country (as text, not a flag image)

[SpazeBlue]

This release of Death Wish has the 4K disc incorrectly marked as Region Locked. The Nordic release is region locked, and is marked as such, but the German release isn't.

[TheDean]

When convenient. Would it be possible to add the "Spine View" option to Blu and DVD on the studio pages please? Maybe add a 4K tab as well.

https://www.blu-ray.com/Warner-Bros/1281872/#Bluray

I love seeing all the spine from the same studio lined up together. It would be an opportunity to see spines of titles you don't have.

Thank you.

I love how so many things line up.

[Brandon K]

When you type a UPC in the search bar, it seems the dropdown only returns 1 search result per country.

This can result in people adding a duplicate into their collection, which could then be subsequently deleted as a duplicate:

Thanks for the fix. While we're at it, can we further cleanup / organize the email's output.

Right now it shows 1 after the other in one big list with the format:

A new {Country} {Format} release ({Format url}) has been added to {Title} ({Title url}).
A new {Country} {Format} release ({Format url}) has been added to {Title} ({Title url}).
A new {Country} {Format} release ({Format url}) has been added to {Title} ({Title url}).
A new {Country} {Format} release ({Format url}) has been added to {Title} ({Title url}).

This can be a bit of a jumble when there's large amounts of releases from multiple titles.

Can we do something like:

New Releases

{Title} ({Title url})
--------------------
{Country} {Format} - {Format Title} ({Format url})
{Country} {Format} - {Format Title} ({Format url})
{Country} {Format} - {Format Title} ({Format url})

{Title} ({Title url})
--------------------
{Country} {Format} - {Format Title} ({Format url})
{Country} {Format} - {Format Title} ({Format url})
{Country} {Format} - {Format Title} ({Format url})

The Title sections could simply be done by tracking the Title name or id and when it changed trigger an output of a new Title section. I added a Format Title since it would be useful if it stated things like: Such and Such Season 3 or Such and Such Limited Edition, etc. that are included in release titles.

Not really sure where to post this, so trying here.

Note to Stephen Larson on your June 5, 2021 Birdy review. You have posted some incorrect information:

Birdy, which is split with Casualties of War on the other layer, is struck from Sony's BD-R 25, which my colleague Marty Liebman reviewed two years ago.

Marty Liebman specifically stated in his review that the Sony disc is pressed. It’s on a BD-25:

Birdy soars onto Blu-ray with another terrific pressed MOD (Manufactured on Demand) release from Sony.
