Halo: Infinite was a great exclusive.
Halo Infinite released for both Xbox One and Xbox Series X and is therefore not exclusive to either platform. marvelvscapcom2 would be able to play it regardless of owning a Series X or not, since they also own a Xbox One.

From what I understand about your gaming interests and habits, you won't regret the purchase. If subscribing to Game Pass to have access to a large library of games is what you gravitate toward, then you'll be satisfied with the variety alongside certain new releases also debuting on the service the same day the game releases at retail.Anyone got hidden gems or xbox exclusives I might overlook?
However, if you are looking for quality or interesting exclusive games, you may not find the Series X to be a worthy purchase. While there should be quality exclusives in the future from some of the new studios recently acquired by Microsoft, there are very few now. Studios such as ZeniMax Media are now owned, while the deal with Activision Blizzard is still to be settled. Without probing into the Xbox Series library, I can only think of one single console exclusive already released (Microsoft Flight Simulator) since many titles still release for Xbox One, let alone one I'd want to play.

Grid Legend on PS4. Listing under [NA] region shows [MX] version and wrong cover image.
[NA] categories allow for more than just US releases. CA and MX releases are allowed as well. Submit a new entry for whichever release you are wanting to add, because the existing MX entry is not to be changed.

So I just thought it'd be fun to hear or see if I was not the only one.
I'm glad that the topic has gotten a lot of activity, but it is always fine to bump a (relatively) recent thread, especially when it's one you created. 
Even games which you would expect to be available in large quantity seem to remain high in price. The one time this has backfired is when I paid £50+ for the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC cart, then months later around the release of XC3 it seemed to be available again at £20-30! That's the only case I have seen of a Switch games stock resruface and drop like that though.
This is due to the efforts of Video Games Plus based in Canada. Apparently, they've been reprinting games for a number of years, but I've only found out about the company in the last few months. Another high value Switch game reprinted from them is Attack on Titan 2: The Final Battle. Later today, reprint orders for Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy go live as well. Atelier Ryza 2 has been selling on eBay US for around $70-$80 USD but will retail again for around $52 USD.

The front cover art for https://vgcollect.com/item/60213 does not match the back and media art.
Not sure which version you'd prefer as front cover is native to listing
The back cover art for each of the three releases is also unique despite sharing the same barcode. 60213 features "white and grey circles" back artwork, so the front art slot should match accordingly.

Admin comments: Re-submit without mention of "EU version." It is the FR version, but that information is also redundant. Only mention the French text manual and requirements.
Why i can't write in description about EU version? It's not french, u can choose 11 languages at start and only Fr - is manual and covers...
This entry does not represent the EU release but instead the FR release. Therefore, stating that this item is the former is incorrect. With that said, even correcting the Description information by stating that this item is the FR version would be redundant, as the entry name TLD already clarifies that. If this item were the EU release, stating in the Description field that it is so would also be repeating information, as it would already be made clear from its PlayStation 2 [EU] category placement. A lot of different kinds of information can be supplied to the Description field for all entries, but we should minimize repeating information that is already made clear from other fields such as the Name field, in this instance. The "requirements" information about the EyeToy Camera being required for play is fine to add. Information about the instruction booklet language text can also be submitted.
If I am understanding what you mean by the quoted post, the game disc is what you're clarifying to be the "EU version." If there are a multitude of selectable in-game language options, they may be listed. It is not important to us if the FR game disc is the same game disc as the EU release. Entries should be handled as single entities that do not mention other entries.
I also handled your recent edit submission for EyeToy: Monkey Mania [GR][RU][PT] where you mention the item being the "EU release." If I were submitting information to the field, I would state something like the below text.includes:
• instruction booklet in Greek, Portuguese, Russian
(11 languages listed altogether) as selectable in-game language options
EyeToy Camera required
However, you may obviously format that information to your preference as there is no standardized formatting for the field, but some way comparable would ideally be how to submit this kind of information.

No change to the Style Guide was needed, but the Adv Guide was changed to match. I'm still not sure I have it worded properly, or have the best examples.
Let me know if I should word it differently, or if there are more or better examples I can use there.
I feel as if the order of the style guide section could be restructured for better clarity and progression with some minor additional updates. Below is my suggestion:The Hyphen and the Edition
For releases that have a special, limited or budget release outside of the standard game release, we put the Edition Name after the game name using a hyphen ( - ) symbol.
Re-release series: Greatest Hits, Classic NES Series
Yakuza 0 - PlayStation Hits
LittleBIGPlanet - Greatest Hits
Imperium III - FX
Jane's WWII Fighters - Classics
Examples of using actual vs common re-release names:
EA Classics = Console Classics. EA Classics is put into Alt-Name.
Classics = CD-ROM Classics
However, this formatting should not be used for items that have "edition" as part of the formal game title.
Examples:
Disney Infinity 2.0 Edition
Pokémon Rubin-Edition <-- update entry name
Edition re-release versus Edition game title
The original release for Fallout: New Vegas has a "regular" release and a Collector's Edition.
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas - Collector's Edition
This game was then released a second time with a new title, as well as additional budget releases. In this case, the main release does not use the hyphen, while the budget releases do.
Fallout: New Vegas: Ultimate Edition
Fallout: New Vegas: Ultimate Edition - Greatest Hits
Fallout: New Vegas: Ultimate Edition - Platinum Hits
Using the term "main game" may be confusing, as the standard version for some games includes "edition" as part of the formal game name. Also, it should not be stated that both the hyphen ( - ) or a dash ( — ) should be used for this formatting. We only utilize the former.
You and I have briefly mentioned the idea to exclude certain "edition" releases from using the edition format, such as "Demo Disc" and "Taikenban" items. Should we move forward with these exceptions?

My only concern is if it is still alright to use just a tld in some of the listings as it may become a little confusing.
Eg. Both being Spanish listings
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (7124291)
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness [ES]
Happy to change the titles from including tlds to only using descriptors if this isn't appropriate usage.
Technically, those two entry names together are fine to use. Although, like you've mentioned, it is best to maintain a consistent descriptor and TLD usage for variants, so Castlevania: Curse of Darkness [ES] would eventually and ideally need to be Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (NNNNNNN) once confirmed while adding in the Description field that the item was sold in Spain. European reprints for PlayStation 2 items can especially be confusing since it is difficult to confirm with full confidence spine differences. To give insight into some regional variant releases I've worked on within the category that relied upon the same descriptor information, here are the Silent Hill 4 and Silent Hill: Origins entries from across Europe.
I am not sure who approved your other edits for 234209 and 234216, but TLDs should not be used with that kind of descriptor. The reason is because the descriptor is unique to those specific items individually, such as the 7124284 descriptor being only exclusive to a French release and not something like a German release as well. I have removed the TLDs from both entries.

Would like to know if the contents of a listing can be used as a descriptor or if hologram location could be used as a descriptor. Would normally try to differentiate by something more clearly on the packaging but Item numbers are the same, discs seem to be the same etc
4012927024058 https://vgcollect.com/item/34836 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275512044498? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325508369864? - Contains 03/04 Konami Catalogue - Hologram on front
4012927026670 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394384597064? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374476029126? - No Catalogue - Hologram on back
Try to find sealed examples to see if there is another thing different such as a label. If not then you can put the name of the item in descriptor. It doesn't seem to have the word catalog on it, so it would be (Konami of Europe 03 04)
Then you can edit the name to put in the quote symbol after.
The two items should have different secondary spine item numbers. The number relates to the last 7 digits of the barcode sequence. I have only been able to verify the information for the "front hologram" variant. I've yet to encounter a PlayStation 2 EU item that ignores this secondary spine number pattern, much less omit a number altogether.

@dhaabi all games like this are the headache in naming for bases) Correct is Disney(dot)Pixar), but in almost all places its like "Disney/Pixar"... Some games have "Disney's" prefix (Disney's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers) or just "Disney" (Disney Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour). Near them - DreamWorks games like "DreamWorks Madagascar" or "DreamWorks & Aardman Flushed Away"...
BTW, i've asked this, because i can't find games to add them to my collection) And I'm very meticulous in such things
The forward slash ( / ) serves the same purpose as the interpunct ( · ) and is easier for users to utilize as well. Another thing to consider is that punctuation has no major impact on our search results. Relying upon GameFAQs (or any other agreed upon source) allows for our users to utilize a secondary source to better locate existing VGC entries and to assist in submitting new ones.
Whether an item should be formatted as Disney, Disney's, or Disney/Pixar is reliant on the item itself, discounting the common name rule. Below are four different formats of "Disney" for the same game that is dependent on region which utilize the actual title text:
Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge
Disney Aladdin: La Venganza de Nasira
Disneys Aladdin: Nasiras Hämnd
Disneyn Aladdin: Nasiran Kosto

The name used on an entry will match whatever name is used for that version GameFAQs. If GameFAQs does not have that version, then people can write the title with or without the studio name present.
So for example, the US version is on GameFAQs and I have fixed our name to match the one there
Now seems to be a good time to get a formal stance on the Disney/Pixar name formatting in a forum topic. Sometime this past year, I noticed that new relevant entries were being formatted as Disney / Pixar with a space before and after the forward slash ( / ). So, when submitting new entries for these kinds of items myself, I had since utilized the same formatting. However, in the past and even with 28797 which is newly updated, those spaces aren't present. So, how exactly should entry names with forward slash in the name be formatted so we can maintain consistency?
