what do you think of what i can get (region 1 dvd)

for a while now i have been buying region 1 dvd`s over the net for cheap. the cheapest i have seen.

my question is - the dvds are released the same day as they are supposed to with regards to usa/canada. they have all the correct pictures on the cover and cd and have all the extras and what have you.
but, because they come from malaysia, do you think they are real?

its just something i thought id ask - they seem absolutely perfect to me, and ill still buy them anyway. also, what is the cheapest you have seen new release dvd`s for regions 1 & 2?

look on the inside of the disc near the id numbers, if there is a "smudge" mark (you will know what i mean if it`s there) then it`s a bootleg, also are the dvd`s delivered without the amray case, ie just the disc and the cover in a sleeve/jiffy bag.

ps the trader isn`t called leng by any chance ? ;)

since they came from malaysia
most probably they are bootleg
one of the reason is malaysia dont use region 1, it was region 2 or 3 instead i`m not sure but definitely not region 1
anyway try insert it in a region protected dvd player/pc..
most bootlegs dont have region so no problems in playing in a locked dvd player


cokie enjoy

thanks for your help

there are no smudged numbers on any of my dvds (ive also compared to my region 2`s)
the trader isnt trading under that name. he uses, what looks like, his real name.

the dvd comes in a case (but no inlay), and the cover even has what looks to be the geniune 3d type holograms (on those applicable) and the back of the cover clearly has the ISBN numbers.

Absolutely nothing to do with trading or selling an item on this forum.

Moving to software forum for further discussion.

P.S. The discs are bootlegs :D
