Games and DVD`s REALLLLLY cheap...

Well, I stumbled accross a site called www.ThaiDVD.biz and if you visit the link you will see that the prices are EXTREMELY low and the P&P is cheap too... I then came accross their affiliate (I think it`s owned by the same people) www.gamezone.biz - you need a Messiah chip to play the games which costs around £25 but when bought you get 5 free games. I was just wondering what your views on this are?Are these sites real? Are they selling copies? Or what?


I`ve also sent an email to the owner of ThaiDVD.biz:




Hi Ben,



It`s just that the average income here is much lower than in Europe or the US, so DVDs are priced much cheaper, or most people could not afford them. We just pass those savings onto you ;)

If you need a Messiah chip to play the games then they`re copies, the DVDs probably are copies aswell, lets face it if they could sell genuine DVDs at this price why wouldn`t other companies do the same? Also, if it looks too good to be true it probably is :(

Mail them back and ask what region the dvds are. That will usually give it away.

All the best,

Defently sounds like pressed pirate copies, they might look like the real deal but they are bootleg and needing a Messiah chip for the PS2 is a dead give away that the games are bootlegs.

Have a look at this and tell me if you still think it is legit ;)

I think the "DVD-R" sort of gives it away!

another dead giveaway is the fact no Gamcube games are stocked, mainly cos they can`t be copied, probably the main reason why no-one will buy the sodding console. No offence to anyone on here, but the mass amount of posts concerning chipping PS2`s and Xboxs on here does kinda suggest one thing to me.
