I just picked up Stargate on Blu-ray today and was going to enter it by title when I found 2 profiles in the database. UPC "012236191551" and "0012236191551" Both show Unites States as locality. The first UPC matches what I got today but the second one just has an extra "0" in front and both covers in the online database show the UPC with just one "0". My question is could "0012236191551" be the Disc ID? I can't check it. To me it looks like there should be only one profile and that's with just one "0" in the beginning. "0012236191551" also shows Australian Dollars as currency, maybe it's an Australian Blu-ray as the user who entered this profile seems to be from Australia, but it still doesn't explain the extra "0". I think the "0" needs to be removed from a user who has this Blu-ray and the locality has to be changed to Australia? Any thoughts?

Some countries, and I don't know if Australia is one of them, use a 13 digit EAN.  So, while the locality is probably wrong, the EAN might be correct.

Just out of curiosity, why are you adding by title instead of UPC?

I left the Blu-ray downstairs and I was too lazy to go back to get it. I thought I check the UPC later but when I saw the 2 entries I went and got it anyway.

I was thinking the EAN/UPC could be correct but it doesn't match the cover scans.

EAN=European Article Numbering. It has 13 digits, but I'm not sure Australia is in Europe

You might want to check your facts before you chime in with your sarcastic posts. 

From this site:
Quote:
The EAN symbology is intended as a world wide standard (although some countries use other systems), therefore, no two retail products may have the same EAN number. To ease the administration of number allocation, Each country using EAN has a country identifier at the start of the barcode. For the U.K. the digits 50 identify U.K. manufacture. Other countries have 2 or 3 digit prefixes, (93 for Australia, 773 for Uruguay, etc..)


From Wikipedia:
Quote:
The EAN-13 barcodes are used worldwide for marking products.


From this site:
Quote:
In 1977 the EAN code was used by 12 countries (all the countries of the European Community). Today, use of the EAN code has spread to all west European countries, USA, Canada, Australia and Japan. Today the EAN is called GTIN (Global Trade Item Number)

Isn't it funny, though, that a system that (afaik) is only used in the US and Canada is named Universal Product Code, while a system that is used worldwide is called European...?

Yea, it is a bit odd.

Well, I knew that and knew you knew, and just wanted to relax atmosphere between us. 

Wrong try
