			=== USA ===

			USA releases often share the same mastering code but have a unique mastering code, mould SID and (eventually) a toolstamp which differentiates them.
			IFPI 72xx (without toolstamp, usually), IFPI 50xx and IFPI QWxx ringcodes with their respective mastering SID code should be kept separated and added to a new line.

			For SuperLite 2000 edition discs, "SuperLite 2000 Vol. " the title should always begin with "SuperLite 2000 Vol. ", even in cases where there is an Original edition that matches.

			== Ringcodes ==

			In general, the rule for adding a new line to the ringcodes field is that this should only be done when a new mastering code or mastering SID is present. For PS2, however, there are two exceptions to that rule:

			=== Australia / Europe ===

			Australian releases often share the same mastering code and SID as their European counterparts, but have a unique pattern for mould SID and toolstamp which differentiates them. Where an Australian disc has a toolstamp A00, B00, C00 etc. and/or a mould SID of the pattern IFPI 65xx (compared to the usual IFPI 94xx for EU releases), then this should be added as a separate line.

			See https://redump.info/disc/9639/ for an example

			=== Promo disc matching retail ===

			Many PS2 discs marked as "Promo Only, Not For Resale" will match the retail release for that title. However they have a set of label side codes which are only visible on the Promo release. In these cases, a separate line should be added to differentiate the ringcode for the Promo as compared to the retail release
