Hi

I recently bought the Bloodrayne DVD from ebay, picture and upc code shown in the auction referred to the two disc version.

The DVD in my hands has the same UPC code 855280 001380 as the two dis version that has been contributed to DVD Profiler but my DVD with the same UPC code is only single disk. How can this be?

How can I contribute "my" single disc edition with the UPC code 855280 001380 (single disc) when there is already the same UPC code in the database but related to the two disc edition?

I thought UPC codes are pretty unique?

By the way, I filed a complaint about this and accused the seller of having used the wrong picture in the auction and asked for the missing game DVD or a refund and got flamed pretty badly by the seller.

He became very rude by stating that there are also single disc editions of this movie out there. But with the same UPC code, how can this be?

By the way, I also found a single disc unrated director's cut version with DVD profiler, but this one is a Canadian release with a completely different UPC code 776974 242295.

Best regards and hopefully someone knows a little bit more about this.

It was not shirink wrapped and the artwork seems to be ok as far as I can tell. The cover is not so dark as in the cover scans provided to the two disc edition, though.

Could this be a bootleg then. But it is really strange that I can read the discs name and title on the inner ring quite clearly. I thought it was identical yet it seems to be a really strange case indeed. My DVD-ROM drive shows the DVD as UNDEFINED.

Oh well and the seller is accusing me of fraud because I wanted him to pay the 0.99 for the DVD only and not the 8.25 for the shipping because I suspected this to be a bootleg. The idea was better 0.99 lost than 9.24. This is why I asked him not to ship the DVD, but he never answered to my request. Well I know now why. The seller is really a very rude person. And he gives me full refund, I have to send back the DVD of course at my expense.

Just FWIW though it (the unrated Cut with that UPC) is, indeed, a 2-Disc note that there is only one 'film' DVD. The second disc is (as advertised on the cover) the of the Blood Rayne 2 PC Game (which I think may be a CD, not a DVD as stated).

To me it is pretty obvious this seller bought the DVD purely for the game and is now selling on the DVD without the game included (it probably is the real cover; they varied a lot and the darkness in the scan is because of the reflective slipcase IIRC).

Personally I am quite confident this is what's happened since I remember at the time a lot of people were saying that packaging the game with the DVD was deliberately done to push up the DVD sales of a Uwe Boll film which otherwise wouldn't have sold that well, except the DVD+Game was cheaper than buying the game by itself.
