Please filter out contributions that make no sense. This should reduce the number of wrong locality profiles. For instance, any DVD released in the U.S. should be region 1. It might be all region, it might be regions 1 & 4, but it won't be region 2 only or a 2/4 combo. Similarly, US Blu-rays will never be locked to region B. Also, their SRP should always be in US Dollars. Creating a filter that gives info about localities when people enter something wrong should cut down on all the wrong-locality entries.

I know there are some in the DB, but they are wrong. Why would you have a release intended for the US market (as opposed to an import) that won't work on unmodified US players? I'm pretty sure it would be against DVD forums rules as well.

you have to ask the people that released them why they are like that

The SRP bit I can agree with (but I thought that was in place already, at least partially), the region coding bit... not until I'm 100% sure about the instances mentioned by Pro_Trek.
