: It would be good if we can provide samples of back covers / disc images highlighting where the IDs are located. They are brought up in the GameFAQ discussion, but unclear how appropriate that is since I think GameFAQ fairly rarely includes back covers (though perhaps I'm misinformed there).

I think showing all the potential places to find IDs on the physical media is a great idea.
