Question about adding games that differ only with a local rating sticker (Australia)

Post by Jdrizzle »

So, I was thinking of trying to add a bunch of my PAL games when I get a chance, but a lot of games sold in Australia are actually EU imports with a local ratings board sticker slapped on the case over the EU or UK ratings to try and hide them.

So... Given it's not actually a new version of the game, it's just an existing version with a sticker should I be adding the game as an EU/UK version of the game or give it it's own entry as an "Australian" copy of the game?

Hello.
In our opinion those games are UK versions.

Games imported into Australia that are only labelled with a local rating are not actually new releases, but simply copies of the EU or UK version with an additional sticker.

You should add the game as an EU/UK version since it is essentially the same version with just a local ratings sticker. slope Creating a separate entry for the Australian copy may lead to unnecessary duplication in your database.
