Item Numbers
« on: December 10, 2012, 11:21:01 pm »
Quick Question: If an article has multiple Item Numbers, which one(s) should be written? If only one, which one has priority?
(As an exemple, Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition has the number 1952507 for Disc 1, 1952517 for Disc 2, 1952511 for the box and 1952505 for the manual)

Good question.

I'm a bit fuzzy about this when it comes to adding strategy-guides, as it looks to me like they often have (2) ISBN #'s...which also can appear to be the same # as the item #...can anyone give me some clarification on guides & their #'s?

I always add what's on the spine. If there's nothing on the spine, then what's on the back of the box, usually above the UPC. If there's no code there, then I don't add a thing.

Also: People, don't forget to add the dashes to your PS1/2/3/PSP game codes! The format should be ABCD-12345.

I had always presumed that one was for Canada and one was for the US since they have distinct price markings reflecting the different currencies over each....  Both seem to use UPC-A type barcodes but I figured the UPC add-on version ones were distinctly US....

Another thing, to add to what Foxhack said.

Make sure you add UPC code w/o spaces between the numbers. I think Matt has something in the works for UPC codes, but needs UPC codes to be spaceless. :)

That's most likely what it is...but...the bar-code & the Item # are still the same number(s) then, right?

Also, UPC CODES ARE TWELVE DIGITS. Not ten. Not thirteen. Well, unless you're in Europe or Japan, but that isn't a UPC, it's an EAN/JAN.
