Hello,
I spotted a spelling error in https://redump.info/discs/system/ps3/sort … letter/h/.
In Heroes over Europe, the "O" in "over" should be capitalized.
I'm sure this was a simple oversight.
Question:
I notice that a very small % of PS3 serials do not have a hyphen (-) in them.
One such games is God of War Collection, Serial BCUS 98229, https://redump.info/disc/40150/
I am wondering if this is deliberate? And if so how does this occur?
Like, how does one distinguish between a game serial that has a hyphen and one that doesn't?
I will keep an eye out for responses.
Thanks!

Re: A small spelling correction & question
In regards to the disc serial question:
Obviously, it's not coming from the spines of the covers.
All of my PS3 discs show the serials like this on the spine:
ABCD
12345
So, I'm just very curious how we determine whether a game has a hyphen in it's serial or not?

Re: A small spelling correction & question
There was a lengthy discussion at the end of last year about standardizing the capitalization of prepositions and the like, and the general consensus was to use the Wikipedia style - them being capitalized only if they're 5 or more letters long. If you search up other titles, you'll see the word "over" isn't capitalized anywhere:
Asian Sony discs almost never have the hyphen, and European Sony discs almost always have it. Don't have much experience with North American Sony discs personally to know which one is more commonly printed.
(Some minor exceptions also exist, mostly with development discs that don't have any serial printed, so the internal serial is sometimes used instead etc. etc., even though this would be technically against the guidelines.)
- Aces over Europe
- Crash: Mind over Mutant
- Secret Weapons over Normandy
