The back image art for the following entries for Pac-Man for the Intellivision [NA] are reversed:

Can the mods switch these, or does this require a user edit?

Confirmed and changed images.
Ctrl+F5 when viewing those pages if they don't appear to be changed.
Anyone can do it, but obviously you could get a reject. Staff can do it easy because we can approve our own edits immediately.

But in future you can make a post like this here, and then submit the edit, if you think there is a chance at a reject. A reject still might happen tho so coinflip I guess.

Hey,
I did an edit to the God of War Ragnarök (https://vgcollect.com/item/283064) release date (Nov. 9 2022) which got rejected because it is not the launch edition.

Every source I found states that the standard edition is the default edition to buy after Nov. 9 2022 and the launch edition was only a preorder bonus. I could imagine that there were more launch editions than preorders but wouldn't that still qualify as released on the same date?

[tripredacus]

I think in a case like this, you should post the sources you found. Even if they are in another language it shouldn't be a problem for us to figure out what is what.

[pfogel]

I only looked for German sources since it is the German release.

In the Launch Edition passage the first sentence states that it is only the preorder bonus, not a real version. The last sentence states that you get the version by ordering pre release.

Launch Edition
Die Überschrift ist ein wenig irreführend, denn genau genommen ist das keine Edition, sondern der Vorbestellerbonus.

Du bekommst den Bonus, indem du dir das Spiel vor dem Release am 09. November 2022 holst.

The Standard und Launch Edition passage states that the launch edition will be the standard edition after the release and will be only available by preordering the game.

Standard und Launch Edition
Vor Release von God of War Ragnarök könnt ihr die Launch Edition kaufen. Diese Edition wird nach Veröffentlichung des Spiels zur Standard Edition, bei der ihr dann keine Boni mehr erhaltet. Die Launch Edition könnt ihr also nur über Vorbestellung kaufen.

This site even states that the launch edition is exclusive to Mediamarkt/Saturn. Therefore all other shops should have selling the standard edition since release.

Das bekommt ihr in der Launch Edition
Die Launch Edition ist verfügbar für die PS4 oder die PS5 und nur bei MediaMarkt und Saturn erhältlich.

OK I updated the release date on the regular edition. If the Launch Edition is in the DB, you can put something like this into description:

pre-order exclusive from MediaMarkt, Saturn

Usually we do not get to know exactly when different editions get released. It is easier to know for current or relatively current releases, but in general most sites (even retailers and press release) tend to treat different editions as the same. At least in the US what tends to happen is that Launch Editions come out on the game's actual release date, and a regular edition just "appears" some time later without any fanfare. While it is possible that there was some press release somewhere that mentions the non-launch edition, no one seems that embedded in product news for us to have a reliable source. As a result, we are apt to reject a release date on a regular version where a launch edition exists and the date being submitted is the same.

Hi guys,

the following item features the incorrect box back image for this variant and - as a result - slightly incorrect box text:
https://vgcollect.com/item/279291

I have the correct image at hand and would need a go so that this edit will be accepted 

The front cover image features the cover of the original taiwanese version, but the box back image shows the re-labeled re-released versions box ...

Tanks in advance!

[tripredacus]

You are the originator of the entry and only editor so we would normally presume that the edit would be correct.

Thanks. I just submitted the edits as mentioned before.
I'm kinda proud of having the Bitcorp Gamate section quite complete with only some rare variants missing. It was about 3 different items when I started this, now it counts about 75 different game entries including almost the complete library known to exist. And I'm still researching...

Greetings

Doing a preemptive alert since I'm undoing an edit by dhaabi. The name of OK K.O.! has a period between the O and the exclamation mark. (check the logo, the spine, and the copyright notice)

In these instances, grammar rules generally dictate how entry names are to be formatted which is why I made the change. However, that change was made in error due to misremembering the grammar rule. (I was confusing it with the rule concerning punctuation marks preceding a colon—not an acronym preceding a sentence-ending punctuation mark.)

Your correction has been approved.
