I submitted the profile for the US R1 release of "I Sell the Dead" (UPC: 030306951799) and found that the pre-release profile had a lot of missing information and even a big mistake, it was listed as a DVD.  Shortly after submitting a full profile, I received a PM from tkinnen who purchased the film on DVD.  It turns out that MPI Media Group/IFC Films used the same UPC for both releases! 

So, to avoid ping-ponging in the future, I've decided to make note of here.  Since the DVD was already in the system, it gets the slot under the "first-in" rule.  I've re-submitted under the disc-ID.

Ouch!

It was bound to happen sooner or later. 

Edit: A quick search turned up 030306184692 as the UPC for the Blu-ray version so I'm not sure how it came to have the same number as the DVD. Possibly someone just duplicated the info across when making the covers.

Could be a cover misprint, DVD Empire shows the DVD with UPC 030306951799 and the Blu-ray with UPC 030306184692.

Synner_man and I looked at both rear scans.  They are identical except for the lower right corner.  My has the DVD logo and his has the BD logo.  UPC and everything else appear to be identical.

There is even a mistake on the Blu-ray cover in that it shows Region 1 NTSC symbol in the lower righthand corner.  It looks like the designers used the template for the DVD and forgot to change over a few important things (like the UPC!) on the Blu-ray.
