Xbox One games are Blu-Ray which the 360 can't play, so they're 360 discs.

Not sure if this should go in here or the dupe thread, seeing as it's not in a category.

Video Game Database Discussion / Multi-language box text

For packaging that has multiple languages on it, do we put all of them in the box text field or just the "primary" language? It's becoming common for US releases to have English and Spanish or French on the same box.

PS4 cases have the code at the bottom of the spine and another code right above the barcode. 3DS and Switch cases have two codes around the barcode, one that looks like a region code (ex. HAC P ALERA USA) and another code that's more numbers.

Video Game Database Discussion / Item Numbers

The style guide doesn't really clarify what an item number is, saying they're "found on the packaging or on the Cart/Disc themselves". Problem is, there are several strings on packaging, so entries vary wildly in what they list. Several games have the number string commonly found at the bottom of the case's spine, some have the alphanumeric strings found next to the barcode, while others use the string found on the disc/cart itself. Could the guide be updated with more examples to clarify what code is wanted?
