| | Posted: | | | | Hello
As there are done many changes in SRP value in Germany I did read the rules:
Use the SRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) at the time of the DVD’s original release using the currency type matching the locality of the DVD. Do not change the SRP in DVD Profiler to reflect reductions in SRP that distributors make in continually over time following release. Ensure the currency type matches the locality of the DVD. Do not make contributions with changes of a few cents/pence to the SRP.
Now, a lot of German Blu-ray and DVD have 0 in it. Contributers did now start getting the value from different known sites where you see the SRP, but this is the actual and not the one from the release. I ask me now, should it be zero forever as there is no possibilty to get the one from the release? Or shall I accept contributions adding the actual SRP?
Another thing is the change they do. There I must vote no, right? Because SRP changes, the longer and older a film is on the market the deeper the SRP goes.
Thanks to confirm me what the right voting is in those two cases,

Fritz I use Internet Archive: Wayback Machine to look for the Approriate Amazon link (com, ca, co.uk, etc) and see if I can find an archived page at the time of release, if not I use the current SRP listed, it's better than nothing IMO and if someone can find the original SRP then even better. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

| | Posted: | | | | I don't know about other countries but I don't think there is such a thing as SRP/UVP for DVDs in Germany.
I've seen such UVP prices for big electronic devices like TV screens or projectors but for DVDs? And even with electronic devices I have seen different so-called UVP for the very same device in different stores.
And this one is just me and personal: What good is the SRP anyway. So I can clap on my shoulder because I supposedly have saved 5 bucks by spending 15? Saved 5 bucks on a SRP that no store ever had as an actual price even on opening day? | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | There are no official SRPs in Sweden, however, what most people enter is the regular store price on the day of release. Typically it's something like 199 kr (SEK) and then as time goes on it it reduced down to whatever it takes to sell it. So it gives an indication of how much you have "saved". | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

As there are done many changes in SRP value in Germany All these contributions are completely useless. Just ignore the SRP. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

| | Posted: | | | | I typically use dvdpricesearch.com.
If I can't find the movie there, I will use amazon.com, dvdempire.com or the like.
The SRP is important for insurance purposes - it gives me an indication of how much coverage I need to replace my collection. |

| | Posted: | | | | The other thing an SRP is useful for is spotting a rip off store. Virgin were terrible for pricing anime titles above their SRP. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | Many continental European countries just don't have a fixed SRP, and whatever is listed as such is often just made up to suggest potential customers they're getting a good deal.
If I can find it, I'll enter the regular high street price around the time of release; if not, I'll leave this field empty.
I use price comparison sites to prevent being ripped off. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |
