It looks as if Andy made the first contribution with an SRP of $29.98 - then someone else contributed a change to $29.99 (either deliberately or maybe not seeing Andy's SRP data) which violated the rule.  Andy then compounded the rule viiolation by changing SRP BACK to $29.98 (again maybe not realizing that it had been changed from his original contribution).

Wrong - read my earlier post.

Well said Ken,
Skip is well within his rights to vote no as he genuinely believes there has been a rules violation. The fact that others disagree with that (me included) is by the by.
And if people have been adding that title just to vote against Skip, then you're right - that is inexcusable. I'd like to hope though that most of the recent adders have simply been made aware of the profile's existence by this thread and are voting because they believe the data is right.

You mean you didn't post first?  That's what you said in your earliler post.

Let's parse the rule for a moment here.

SRP
Use the SRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) at the time of the DVD’s original release using the currency type matching the locality of the DVD. Do not change the SRP in DVD Profiler to reflect reductions in SRP that distributors make in continually over time following release. Ensure the currency type matches the locality of the DVD. Do not make contributions with changes of a few cents/pence to the SRP.

Use the SRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price)

For those quoting retail sources The rule says Manufacturer’s not the retailers many retailers make up a retailers suggested retail price. If you can not get it from the manufacturer of the DVD do not enter it. I would submit that if you do not have access to the manufacturers information you should not be submitting an SRP period and it should be left blank. 

at the time of the DVD’s original release

This DVD has not been released for sale yet what are you all complaining about. It may even bee canceled (unlikely but possible.) When it is released then enter an SRP if you can verify it as above otherwise leave it alone. Before release the SRP should be zero since the time of the release has not arrived yet.

Do not change the SRP in DVD Profiler to reflect reductions in SRP that distributors make in continually over time following release.

Once an initial SRP is established as valid by the manufacturer do not change it simple enough.

Do not make contributions with changes of a few cents/pence to the SRP.

Skip's interpretation would be great here except as for the fact that the DVD has not been released. The statement taken alone is very cut and dried yet we must look at it in context of the concepts
above. Its not a new paragraph.

My conclusion is that the disc should have no SRP associated with it because it has not been released yet. The rule does not make an exception for pre-release titles.

I agree with your interpretation of the rule. The view that I have taken however is that for a pre-release title a bit of latitude is required and adding an SRP or even making changes for a few cents is not a real issue. My vote and comments on this title reflect that view.

That said, once the title is released I agree with Skip and co that changes for a few cents are against the rules, even if they are made as part of a wider contribution.

WOW!  Finally, a breath of fresh air, and a very astute catch on the release thing as well.  Kudos!

Oh, and I agree with everything you said, too!

I said, pretty much, the same thing back on page 3...why don't I get kudos? 




Just kidding. 

Hey, your head is big enough now.  If it gets any bigger it won't fit your helmet anymore!  Besides, I don't remember seeing it...  some of these threads are so damn long, it's hard to keep track of it all.  Anyway, quit whinin', you know we love ya, right?  RIGHT? 

Oh crap!  Now you've gone and done it.  Witness protection here I come.
