| | Posted: | | | | I have this happen constantly. Of course, after some recent threads I'm no longer sure if the profile never existed or if somebody just unilaterally decided that the online needed to be cleaned out.  | | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |

| | Posted: | | | | I've bought discs this year that were released back in 2005 that were not in the database, not big titles but not that obscure I think. But this was of course in the Swedish locality where not much happens anymore... But it has also happened a few times in bigger localites. Anime titles seem to suffer the most but it could also be because I bought a cheaper re-release when everyone else bought the original. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes I have been surprised, especially when there isn't another just like it only with a different UPC in the database either. I've had it happen to me three times, I think, on all being several years old. Quoting mdnitoil: Quote:

I have wondered about that too. I downloaded several tv series into my wishlist, and later was going back to see if newer seasons were out yet only to discover the one that I had downloaded was no longer there at all searching by name or UPC. Double-checking, it was a valid UPC and disc set, so I don't know what happened to it or why. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

We already had the B-rD 2-Disc-Collector's Edition, the B-rD 2-Disc-Collector's Edition SteelBook and the B-rD 1-Disc rental. Missing was the B-rD 1-Disc resale. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

| | Posted: | | | | Maybe a good idea to create a special thread for DVDs added to the database AFTER the release date and missing before that day.
Just added 841887011372: Collision (PBS), an ITV Series created by Anthony Horowitz. Released last year but not in database. As Edition: Masterpiece Contemporary. Holy..... | | | | Last edited: by railroaded |

| | Posted: | | | | 80% of DVD's i buy arent in the database, regardless how popular the movie is. It got worse after Blu-Ray, cause the main finnish contributors switched to bluray (at least i think thats one of the reasons why there arent as many DVD's as there used to be). | | | | Last edited: by whispering |
