| Posted: December 28, 2008 11:01 PM | | | | I submitted this title called Screw along time ago I had to use the disc id since it wouldn't except the upc code on back. Now after so many updated versions of profiler it still wont except it what I don't understand is I have another dvd from the same company HOT HOUSE called Head Hunters that does except the upc and there is only a slight difference in the numbers, Screw wont except upc 0828872000148, Head Hunters upc that does except 0828872000498. Can anyone explain this? same amount of numbers and only two numbers different. |

0828872000148 should be 0828872000146
(8+8+7+0+0+4)*3 +(0+2+8+2+0+1) = 94 Check digit is how many to the next whole 10 number. |

We've seen this before with some companies and there's not much we can do if they can't get their own UPCs right. The only collision would be with a product from the same company. We've seen that before with re-used codes ![](/images/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) The first 12 digits should be unique, and the 13th is just the check. I agree that PM'ing Ken would be a good thing. |
