Prompt: Members from all over the world participate in VGCollect Secret Santa. Therefore, unless specific items are requested based on shopping preference priority, participants should not expect the exact regional item as a gift. (e.g. NA participant requested NA Resident Evil but received JP Biohazard.)
Choice 1: I agree. Unless a specific item is requested based on shopping preference priority, participants should be willing to receive items from any region. 16.7%
Choice 2: I agree. Unless a specific item is requested based on shopping preference priority, participants should be willing to receive items from any region. However, this should only be expected when the hardware to play the item is region-free, such as the PlayStation 4 and Switch. 33.3%
Choice 3: I disagree. Santas should be willing to provide region-specific gifts based on their giftee's location, unless specified otherwise. (e.g. a NA Santa should be expected to gift their JP giftee games from Japan, not from North America.) 33.3%
Other (custom answer): This is a hard one. Generally the non-NA participants are the ones who this could be an issue for, but every time I've gotten a non-NA participant they have had a good variety of easily attainable games for their gifter. 16.7%
This question doesn't necessarily affect anyone who's wanting to avoid shipping internationally, but it certainly does affect all others. Whether you agree or disagree with the above statement, why is that?
Interesting to see such a varied response to this and think sworddude has covered how I see it as well.

Death end re;Quest
https://vgcollect.com/item/160484 - limited edition box moved into miscellaneous category (recent edit)
https://vgcollect.com/item/176362 - to combine with the above - the limited edition box in Europe/UK is the same as the one sold in the US (with the same item number on the box).

https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,12136.msg204464.html#msg204464QuoteAll Switch steelbooks would go into the Switch Accessory category as they (presumably) all have the place on the inside to put the Switch cart into.
This is conflicting instruction, given the entry I originally linked is to house a Switch cartridge. Nevertheless, I've updated every Switch SteelBook entry which I've observed having removable barcode information. When applicable, I've differentiated if the label is a Nintendo Switch label or a generic one. Someone else with better accessibility can update the image fields. As long as the Description field makes note of the label, that is sufficient enough for now.
I have submitted a back cover with the barcode to the one you originally linked.

I think I submitted the correct pic originally (unless I selected the wrong one by accident) because both front and back looks almost identical. Regardless, have resubmitted. Noting that the current back image is not the back but the side of the box.
Re-submission approved. To me, even now, the front and back cover images appear the same, so I assumed earlier that you submitted the image to the wrong field by mistake.
Yes, had that feeling being the case. The only difference that I could tell is the opening flap lines at the back of the box

« on: January 20, 2024, 06:31:36 pm »So it is best to say that if the Steelbook has the console's logo on it, that it should go into the Accessory category and if not then into the Steelbook category. It would be easier to do it that way rather than have to figure out how each and every one was sold.
This would then also include SteelBooks which come shrink-wrapped with platform-specific information but are otherwise non-discernible when opened, such as many Switch items like Pokémon Sword, seen here.
Ok - got it.

Need clarification between steelbooks (to be put in the 'steelbooks' category) vs platform-specifc steelbooks (to be put in the platform-specific 'accessory' category).
To be honest, didn't see we have a 'steelbook' category until recently - which may have been there for a long time...however, then at the same time, it's causing some confusion.
Even having the steelbooks with me, I can't really differentiate between the two categories / nor know which category the item/s should go into which by answering the questions from the approver/s, and was obviously thinking something not entirely the same when 'platform-specific' was mentioned (i.e. beyond just whether there's a PS / Switch logo on the case)
Re:Crystar steelbook: https://vgcollect.com/item/260201
Is this specific SteelBook platform specific? Is there any way to tell? Unlike the Switch releases which have the Nintendo Switch logo on them, is there any PlayStation logo, like with the Gran Turismo item I linked before? https://vgcollect.com/item/140114
For the above:
- It was only available with the PS4 game as a preorder bonus in Asian countries. An official item.
- In addition to the publisher name etc on the case, only SteelBook [steelbook.com] etc printed inside the case, no PS4 logo. [I double-checked]
With the above info, it should stay in the 'steelbooks' category even though it was only ever available with the PS4 game?
Did notice that's what has been done with the Shenmue III steelbook https://vgcollect.com/item/170030
With that being said, some of the other PS4 steelbooks that came with the launch/deluxe editions/pre-order bonuses don't have PlayStation logo etc printed on it either (like the traits above). So, if those are to be listed as individual items, does it mean they will end up being in the 'steelbooks' category vs being considered as platform-specific 'accessory' category?
Don't know about the Switch ones yet, will have to look through some to be able to tell whether all have the logo or not. If there are ones that don't have the logo, once again, does it mean they will end up being in the 'steelbooks' category vs the platform-specific 'accessory' category?
