Play Beyond Demo disc for PS3:
http://vgcollect.com/item/76929

I just picked up one of these on the side, although not the one pictured. Then I realise it is a pack-in item for the console... so there shouldn't be a separate entry for it but instead noted on the console description as to which Play Beyond disc came with it. Looking on Ebay shows there are quite a few different versions of this disc and I suspect they all have different part numbers.

Not 100% sure about these two, they're in a foreign language so not sure if they are errors or not.

Seems they should have the English title followed by the language in brackets? because at the moment they aren't anywhere near the English counterparts in the alphabet. :)

I would leave as is, as the Style Guide does not specifically mention what to do with EU games like that. However it does show this as an example:

Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi

Which is not "English" either. I think the style guide is using the wrong term here. The aim is so that people aren't entering "Symbol" characters into the name fields and to use "Roman" lettering... I think the use of the term "English" is incorrect.

So as it stands, having "El Padrino" is correct, and having the alt-name (the godfather) to reference what the game is known as in other regions is also correct. The only problem is that now, technically, based on the Style Guide the game name should be Padrino, El. :p

Makes sense, it does get confusing with all the variants, I'll just leave it be then. Thanks for the reply, I didn't know what to do about it :P

We do not have a restriction here on having pack-in items separate from the console listing.  For example someone may want to add Super Mario All-Stars + World to their collection, a game that was only sold as a pack-in title, but may not own a SNES, or the specific model of SNES that the game was bundled with.

Namco Museum 50th Anniversary never had a black label edition in North America.
http://vgcollect.com/item/16129
This isn't a real release. In fact, the 12+ age rating in the bottom-left corner of the cover picture shows it isn't even a picture of a North American release, as NA releases don't use that kind of age rating.

I tried endlessly to find a black label copy of this game, I think it was for something like a year, and to this day it "eludes" me, and eludes Amazon, eBay, etc... pretty "elusive" :P

Sorry for this long post, but I have an issue with the listings for the greatest hits versions of Chrono Cross. I was thinking of submitting these edits by hand but I'm worried they'll be rejected because they're a little more drastic so I'm going to explain myself a little bit here  :)

So, there were two releases of the Greatest Hits version of Chrono Cross. One by Squaresoft, and one by Square-Enix. The Squaresoft version has Silver discs like most other GH PlayStation games. The SE release has matte white discs like other greatest hits games that Square-Enix  released later on for the PlayStation.

On VGCollect, there are two listings for this game. They aren't separated by publisher, but by one that says Silver Backed Discs. My issue is that the listing says that the silver is on the bottom, which I don't think is correct. Both versions have black bottoms on the disc. And the cover art for both listings is Square-Enix. They are essentially two SE releases.

Soooo, this is what I'm suggesting:

Take the one that says (Silver backed discs) http://vgcollect.com/item/25344 and

Change the name to Chrono Cross - Squaresoft   

Change the Front box art to one with Squaresoft on the front
http://www.mobygames.com/game/chrono-cross/cover-art/gameCoverId,58630/platform,6/

Change the disc image to the silver ones
http://www.mobygames.com/game/chrono-cross/cover-art/gameCoverId,58634/platform,6/

Maybe put something in the description that says: Squaresoft release of Chrono Cross. Noticeable by the silver printed discs with the Squaresoft logo


For the other one  http://vgcollect.com/item/15224

Change the name to Chrono Cross - Square-Enix
http://www.mobygames.com/game/chrono-cross/cover-art/gameCoverId,305205/platform,6/

Maybe put something in the description that says: Square-Enix  reissue of Chrono Cross. Noticeable by the white printed discs with the Square-Enix logo
http://www.mobygames.com/game/chrono-cross/cover-art/gameCoverId,305209/platform,6/

The publishers would be changed too, etc. I can submit these edits if an admin has confirmed that these edits are ok. Like I said, I felt that if I submitted them without explaining why they would be rejected. If this is okay, let me know and I can submit them. Thanks :) Sorry again for the long post.

EDIT: Just submitted the edits, if I needed to submit them in another way, or something like that PM me! Thanks :)
