the FRIENDS collection consists of 10 seasons on dvd, not for sale anymore at this time.

IMHO, what other 'Friends' DVD's there are does not impact how we handle these three. Of course everyone can do locally what they want, but for online purposes, I don't think the fact that the full ten seasons of 'Friends' are also available on DVD changes how we look at these three discs.

Thus this is a "Friends Collection" containing three different titles:
The One With All the Babies
The One With All the Weddings
The One With All the Birthdays

they are rather a compilation of some episodes of the series with a theme, collectable maybe but not
Friends Collection see the difference in Typography:

But "Friends" is always written that way, just as "M*A*S*H" has a certain Layout.

Agreed, thats why Friends is in the title and collection not. The title of those Friends dvd's is as on the cover:
The One With All The Birthdays
The One With All The Babies
The One With All The Weddings

The title: yes. and the Edition is "Friends Collection". It's like "The Criterion Collection".

Or - to remain closer to the original question - "The Slayer Collection":

the fact is you would have twice the same information in the title: Friends and Friends collection
'The Slayer Collection' Slayer is additional information not in the Title field.
Friends: it is from the series (and verry prominent on the cover)
The One With All The Birthdays would be equal to Spike, Angel, ....
The One With All would be the common nominator for those dvd's, it is al ready in the title.

The Edition  is clearly "Friends Collection".

I can't see how anyone could try and argue against it.

Oh man, I am the OP. I had no idea it would be so difficult to figure this out. I thought I'd pretty much get a quick consensus, but now I see that my original confusion is well warranted. And the person that I thought would give me the strongest opinion, Skipnet50, has been rather quiet about this.

As for what Giga Wizard has been pointing out, there are of course quite a few Friends Collections (compilations) including The Best of Friends series and the The One With All the Parties gift set, but these 3 are the only titles that say "Friends Collection" on the cover. Sigh, still don't know what to do, and don't want the profile to keep bouncing around with updates cause future people view the rules applied to this differently.

C'mon - you didn't expect this community to agree on something did you? 

Seriously though, the general feeling seems to be that #4 follows the rules, but if you really wanted to, you could probably get away with #3 as that doesn't exactly "break" them.

One thing's for sure, anybody trying to add this manually by title is going to be looking in the F's.

Not that we care about the unwashed masses or anything.  Let them eat cake.

That's why I personally prefer #3.

After reading the replies and giving it some more thought I believe I was wrong and it should be
4) The One With All the XXX, edition: Friends Collection

To anyone who doesn't think so should re-visit the discussion(s) on "Walt Disney Treasures".
