Catalog provenance
Open data and sources
Updated August 7, 2026
Barcode verification
PLAYBACK accepts a barcode only when its GS1 checksum is valid and the source identifies the same physical title and platform as the catalog record. Digital downloads, accessories, ambiguous matches, and conflicting mappings are rejected.
Nudger / Open4Good
Part of the barcode layer contains information from Nudger/Open4Good’s GTIN dataset, offered under the Open Database License 1.0. PLAYBACK attributes that source and makes its derived open-data barcode subset available under the same license.
RF Generation
North American package mappings may cite an item-level RF Generation record. PLAYBACK accepts these mappings only when the record identifies the exact title, platform, North American region, physical media format, and checksum-valid UPC together. The source URL remains attached to the barcode for review.
Download the open subset
Download the PLAYBACK open barcode subset as CSV. The download contains catalog identifiers, titles, platforms, documented regions, and source URLs—never collector accounts or private collection data.
Corrections
If a package scans incorrectly, please send the exact barcode and a clear photo of the package through the private contact form.
