No. That entry that is linked should have its art updated to include the back where the label has the console logo. Then the entry can stay in the console accessory section.

All 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.

There was a link to a steelbook with a PS4 logo on it.

The Gran Turismo Sport Steelbook entry I originally linked to puddingm as a guiding example via Admin Comments, mentioned in their forum post? Yes, it does have a PS4 logo, and it's been placed correctly in PlayStation 4 Accessory for well over a year. Because of the case's printed logo, there is no required need for a back art submission. Regardless, a back cover submission alone wouldn't be the deciding factor as to whether the entry belongs in PlayStation 4 Accessory or Steelbooks, as the barcode label affixed to sealed copies is a generic one.

Had the example not had the front system logo, the only way it would be permitted in PlayStation 4 Accessory would be for an identifying label of sorts, as has been agreed upon, since it is a container designed to store discs. That said, not every SteelBook is sealed, has labels, or has identifying information printed on it. For containers like these that are also designed to hold discs which can't be identified to one specific system, they are then placed in the Steelbooks sub-cat, as you advised. But, to clarify for anyone else following along, a SteelBook designed to store cartridges known to be for Switch games may be placed in Nintendo Switch Accessory, whether or not outer identifying information is present.

Going to wait until I'm certain on correct naming convention to add Formula 1 Variants to limit potential edits.


Also found this item but not certain on what would be the correct naming convention. https://www.ebay.fr/itm/363861535181

To me, it seems as if the item already has a name: F1 2001 + NBA 2002 + Manette Analogique or Formula 1 2001 + NBA 2002 + Manette Analogique, depending on what sort of clarification is later given in response to this post.

[tripredacus]

F1 2001 in this instance. The naming rule is only for when their logo is used.

Why does UFO Grendizer for PS5 keep getting deleted and why does this site delete the dev and publisher everytime I enter it?

Why does UFO Grendizer for PS5 keep getting deleted and why does this site delete the dev and publisher everytime I enter it?

Do you mean the UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves entry which is a part of your collection? As you can see, the entry has not been deleted.

While information can be typed into both the Developer and Publisher fields, an existing selectable item must be chosen. Items should appear to select, which must be clicked on. Only then will that information will appear. If there are developers or publishers not yet added, request them in this dedicated topic.

Item #257158  https://vgcollect.com/item/257158

I made an edit to add the cover art of this entry but it seems the admin is confused of which is the correct artwork for this entry. They denied the edit and sent me an eBay link in the Admin comment asking me why is it different to the one I used. This is a game sold by Limited Run Games and it has a reversable cover. The cover I tried to add in my edit is the one show on their website and the one the Admin linked to me is the reversable cover as shown in the LRG page.

Here is the link to the LRG page: https://limitedrungames.com/collections/heart-of-the-woods/products/heart-of-the-woods-switch
Here is the link to the eBay listing the Admin sent to me in the notification comment of my edit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/395177877156

What is interesting is that Limited Run Games will print both sides and randomly ship one of the covers to their customers with them having the option to reverse it if they want to, which is something they commonly do for every release with reversable covers. The one I got is the one shown on the eBay link but i reversed it because I liked the one shown on LRG website better. So does this mean that the reverse cover should also get an entry in the database too? I noticed some entries got their reverse covers added as their own entries.
(ex. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World / Celeste)

Regarding items with reversible cover art, a second entry should only be submitted if it has been observed to exist while sealed. Any advertising imagery shown online which predates an item's release means very little, as we need to supply information based on the actual physical item. Since this item is newly-released, and we can only confirm artwork based on the limited amount of available items on eBay which all feature different artwork, I'm inclined to believe that all copies feature the art design featured on the existing eBay listings when sealed. At the very least, those several copies alongside your copy do. So, entry art should reflect that, since that is the available information we know. If it's later learned that there's a variant copy with the reversible art outward-facing when sealed, then it may be submitted at that time, but not now.

The Scott Pilgrim and Celeste items you're referencing do have variant entries relating to cover art, but that's because it's been confirmed copies exist sealed showing both sets of art.

So, in short, variant entries should not be submitted for every item which features reversible art, although that detail can be noted in the Description field. Variant entries for these kinds of items may only be submitted when observed sealed.
