Why Does Amazon.com (US) Get So Many Import Album Titles Wrong?

Case-in-point, Chrono Trigger Arranged Version: The Brink of Time: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/ … dition=new

They have the title reversed, as in, The Brink of Time: Chrono Trigger Arranged Version.

Not only that, but they're stubborn about correcting wrong titles; I just sent a product information update, giving them the correct title, and they gave me an e-mail back, saying, "No, we've already researched all possible references, and we've determined we have the correct, current data."

Except I gave them the URL for the entry for this album here on VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/album/298), and if you can't tell, the "Chrono Trigger" part of the title PRECEDES "The Brink of Time."

And this isn't the only instance in which AMZN has incorrect titles for soundtracks; I could go on for days pointing out stuff they've gotten wrong.

If you're not willing to accept corrections to your catalog listings, why even provide the option?!

Anyone else want to tell AMZN to get their act together?

Here's the link to try and correct the wrong title they have there: https://www.amazon.com/gp/gfix/welcome. … erchantID=

Try your hand!

Stuff like that is so common on AMZN; the asinine prices, especially.

Wow. Which album is that?

Well to be fair, for a lot of albums it's ambiguous as to the order of the title text.  If you look at CT:BoT, on the disc itself the "The Brink of Time" part comes first.  Similar situation with various Perfect Collections and Piano Collections, where the publishers sometimes seem to put that text first despite it making a lot more sense to put the emphasis on the game title.

Yeah, that's true, but when providing the corrections, I gave them the reference pages for the albums from here (STC), VGMdb, and Chudah's Corner, and they still refused to do the proper edits.

They just don't want to be bothered to do the work. Then again, I probably submitted them when a grade A-class A-hole was at the desk; I'll try submitting the edits later, and see if they take.

I wish I could post that picture that's been circling the net lately, with the redneck with the sunglasses on and arms crossed, standing by his souped up pickup with the text that says "Deal with it, nerd".

(-_-);

Give me some slack; this's probably the most I've been obsessively furious about anything in awhile...

...although, I guess it IS misdirected. I probably should go do something more worthwhile with my life, rather than arguing with people who won't be swayed.

I should probably go join a fight club, or something.

Have YOU heard the teachings of Tyler Durden?

dont get me wrong, I still love buying from amazon, I've experience some problem with item which delivered in bad condition (box too thin for the item) and they returned full money... they even refunded partial of the shipping cost when they ship the item late

but as for the wrong title for an item they dont seem to care about it sadly
and I actually read a review of Megadeth & Kreator latest album month before it came out. The reviewer didnt seem have any idea what the album sounds like either. On the top of that they're pretty careless about an item review and I read some review that only contain few bad/negative words without any explanation.
