Found user necron99 who's basically creating new "Canadian release" entries for almost every game in their PS3 library. This raises the question: are the canadian releases any different than the US counterparts? If so how can we prove it? If it's just a product number difference (this is the case with modern nintendo games too) does that grant the game it's own entry?

The topic of inconsistent product numbers has been brought up before in THIS thread.

They are different because of their packaging. They are bilingual. If there is a case where, say, a Canadian release's contents are not unique, then it should be noted within the description as to that fact. Same would go for the euro DS games as well. In some cases, not only the product number is different but sometimes the artwork is different. This is true of sports games, where a "fellow countryman" will make the foreign release cover rather than who was on the US version.

That user seems to have added the entries correctly (notably the artwork appears to be bilingual) however the style guide says you should use [CA] instead of (Canadian release) in the title.

LOL then lets put [US] in from of all our games than.

It is implied that all games in the NA category are US games. :p

Gyromite Gyromite (5 Screw Cartridge) Famicom Adapter
http://vgcollect.com/item/83820

I take issue with this entry because its a component of a product and not a products its self. The same adapter can be found in a variety of NES carts and not just Gyromite.
The name is also messed up. 1st: Gyromite Gyromite? 2nd: 5 Screw cart. -Weird since the adapters are only found in 5 screw carts, so there's not really a point in titling it like that. Additionally there's already an entry for the 5 screw version.

I know but it's just silly to me that US takes precedence

I believe the back cover art for Metal Slug 7 for NDS (NA) is incorrect. The scan I found on Moby games says it's from AU

The VG Collect Entries
NA: http://vgcollect.com/item/18384
EU: http://vgcollect.com/item/54936

Back cover art from my copy (and examples on Ebay, etc.)
http://www.mobygames.com/game/nintendo-ds/metal-slug-7/cover-art/gameCoverId,149285/

Back cover art with the NA entry currently

Thanks!

Yeah I think this is something that should be put in the notes, rather than a new entry.  Merged it with the 5 screw entry.

They're digital releases, not physical ones.

Do we even have a digital category for XBox One games?

As much as I'd like to say otherwise, I don't think there exists a standalone NA version of Arc The Lad for the PlayStation.

That was added by a European user, and that's the Japanese cover art. >:|
