Should probably have the art below, and a separate entry for the "Best Shooter" art, or it should be modified as a variant and an entry created for the art below.


On a side note, there are way too many variants of the Far Cry games.

It certainly should NOT have the art you put. That has RP, the game has been out for 3 years now, you could find the actual artwork. BUT, there doesn't seem to be any other version of the "non Edition" release of this game in the US than the one that has that Best Shooter mark. You find a US non-edition without that, then we can think about it.

And this is why you're the admin and I'm not  :)

And of course I can't find a good shot of the non-edition for the XB1 version - which I can verify has the "Best Shooter" tag on my copy.

Yeah I was adding the game to my collection and saw that it still had an RP image (I think) so I added what the image based on what I own.

I don't think there's another version without the "best shooter 2014" image either, just from a quick scan of Ebay. The Limited Edition has a few variants though it seems

I picked up 4 and Primal last weekend and this series has so many silly "Limited Edition" w/ bonus editions it is ridiculous.  There wasn't a standard edition entry for 4 on XB1 until I made it last week.  They were all Limited and Complete editions.

The reason this happens is/was a debated topic here for some time. Do we allow people to create entries for games that haven't come out yet? The timeline for Far Cry 4 is one example of why this causes a problem for us. Here is an example:
1. Far Cry 4 announced for physical PS4 release
2. User creates Far Cry 4 entry with no art OR pre-release stock photo (with or without rating)
3. Game is released as Limited Edition

So at the point of release there is no "Far Cry 4" instead it is Far Cry 4 Limited Edition, which doesn't exist in the database. Then the entry that was made before the game comes out becomes a franken-entry. Some games never get anything besides a first print and sometimes those games only have an "Edition" when the game finally comes out. In the case of Far Cry 4, the "regular" version (that ends up having Best Shooter flag) is a reprint, non "Edition" release. And this is why trying to fix these entries is such a problem. They end up with the wrong item numbers and barcodes on them added later, and then collections are not correct either.

So this reason, as well as the fact that games get announced and never come out, are the main arguments as to why entries for things that do not yet exist should not have entries created for them.

I definitely run into issues with this when the first print of a game is different (bundled with stickers or a mini-soundtrack, etc.).

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

Barcode and itemnumber seem to be from [NL] release if google is to be believed.
Barcode of English release is 3307210126290 and item number 1128100.
Do we convert the current one to [EU] or [NL] release?

Barcode was added later. You can change the UPC and item number to the English version.

Move a game from one system to another.  So both of these are a backwards compatible physical releases with the combination artwork done in the XBOX One style.  My vote is for the Fallout 3 to move from XBOX 360 to XBOX One. 

Thoughts?

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

Disc format doesn't matter.
Moved to Xbox One category.
