Video Game Database Discussion / Differences in Asian releases

« on: April 18, 2017, 10:57:08 am »

Okay, so hopefully I can explain myself here.

I ordered a copy of the game Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament on PS4.  I made edits on a listing thinking it was the same version but the art edits were rejected by an admin because it turns out there are two versions of them.  Now I'm stuck.  I don't know what the differences between them are.  Does anyone know what the difference between these two releases would be?

This is the version I have.



This is the version that the database currently has listed.




Obviously the lack of a rating on mine is a huge difference.  I ordered my copy from a Malaysian store but I don't know if Malaysia gets their own releases generally or it shares release versions with a different area.  Does anyone know anything about these kinds of releases?  I'm clueless and I want to make sure the database stays accurate.

Video Game Database Discussion / Question about Vita Item Numbers

« on: February 18, 2017, 07:37:06 pm »

Hi, I did a quick search and didn't see an answer for this, so I do apologize if this has been asked before.

Anyway, according to the style guide thread in this section, all of Sony's item numbers should be four letters, a dash, and then a set of numbers.  On Playstation Vita releases, there is a number on the card that matches this while there is a different item number on the spine of the box that is just a series of numbers.  The latter is on numerous game pages instead of the former.  Which is the correct one to use?  I just want to make sure I add accurate information in the future.  Thanks!

EDIT:  Here's an example.  https://vgcollect.com/item/119191  The simple string of numbers from the spine is currently in the Item Number field and you can see the PCSE number on the card in the third image.
