Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood & More...
« on: May 23, 2016, 12:45:30 am »
I figured I would ask before creating a new entry. I picked up a used Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood from GS today and while trying to add it, I found that there's like half a dozen different entries for the game to choose from. My copy doesn't seem to match any of the ones listed as the picture on mine is slightly different.

I found an image of it on Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/Assassins-Creed-Brotherhood-Game-Exclusive-Content/dp/B00BI1G91O

The idea kicked around in my head that it deserves its own entry except for one detail. Where the UPC is on the back (which doesn't come up on an Amazon search) is a red box over the bar-code that says "Not For Resale". I'm wondering if the copy I have was part of a Limited Edition. The bar-code on my copy is 008888396253. Unfortunately none of the entries for Collector's Editions have bar-code information listed for me to match up with. I'm hesitant to add the game as I imagine it was never sold new by itself. I've half a mind to take it back up to GS and swap it for a different copy when I pick up Overwatch tomorrow.  :P

Anyone happen to have the CE of this game that can verify the UPC for me?  ;)

EDIT: ARGH...what a confusing pain in the arse this is!  :o  >:(  :(  :P

Besides AC: Brotherhood, I also picked up Assassin's Creed II and III. Of course my copy of ACII doesn't have the exact matching info as the PS3 NA entry, my bar-code is completely different. I thought that maybe the wrong bar-code was listed as the Item Number is the Amazon ASIN number but before I went to modify I noticed the Box back art had the UPC that was listed so I left the entry alone. With ACIII, I thought I found the one I needed but again...information was not lining up.  ???

The Brotherhood one may well have come in one of the collector's editions. You'll have to hold off on it until it can be determined where it came from.

For the other ones you mention, post in here what the barcodes you have and maybe I will have luck in finding them.

Most games that come in a Collector's Edition have a "not for resale" tag where the UPC normally is.  I'm almost 100% positive that is the case with your particular copy.

Here's the bar-codes...

Assassin's Creed II: 008888345343
Assassin's Creed III: 008888347231

I also ran into an issue with Sleeping Dogs on PS3. The UPC on file doesn't match up with what I have. The one on file is 662248912134 and the one on mine is 662248912103. I punch both UPCs into Amazon and they come up as Sleeping Dogs with no frills. I didn't see a CE of this game for NA and I checked the packaging for English and French to see if it may be a [CA] release possibly but only English is on the package.

As for AC: Brotherhood I'm going to find a normal packaging release and see if they'll let me swap it out.  :P

Assassin's Creed II: 008888345343
Assassin's Creed III: 008888347231

The reason for this confusion is because the entries are not complete and there are dupes and some using wrong art.

Assassin's Creed II appears to be Canadian or English/French version here: http://vgcollect.com/item/69321
Assassin's Creed III is this entry (which I just updated): http://vgcollect.com/item/26936

Sleeping Dogs is this: http://vgcollect.com/item/29401
I updated the entry, original barcode of 662248912134 is CA version.

Thanks for the help clearing/cleaning that up.  ;D

I went ahead and added AC III even though my box art doesn't look like the one pictured. It's got the red circle on the left side that says "Only on PS3" "4 Exclusive Single Player Missions". The circle doesn't feel like a sticker and appears to be part of the printed insert. I just wasn't feeling up to making a new entry for alternate box art.  :P

Also Trip, what's your thought on this...

You've got that eye for detail...is one a dupe or are they separate releases? I mentioned it in the duplicate listings thread but that info appears to have disappeared?  :o

Its a dupe and taken care of.

However, the dupe had the back artwork for PS3 Brazil version, saved here:
