Few of questions...

1. How long did it take to get the dvd sent you to?

2. How did you pay for the DVDs?

3. Is the quality of the films any good (especially want to know coz I would like Phantom Menace!)?

Cheers

If you want to risk a knock on your door at 4 am by the old bill entering via a battering ram yelling "stay still, don`t move" to check all of your DVD`s, CD`s, etc. then go ahead.
You will not find Phantom Menace on DVD anywhere that is legal.
I have not ordered anything from (ELP Works Volume 1 side 2 track 2)
Yo ho Ho, Peter Pan, me old Jim Lad, me hearty, seamen stains, the black pig, Master Bates, even Geena Davis was one.
As far as I know these discs are VCD`s on CD-R Media of dubious quality. Not DVD`s.
Let us know how you get on if you do order anything from them and what you actually receive. If you don`t end up doing porridge.
If anyone has got one of these supposed DVD`s can you confirm or deny the above.

Actually, if they are selling what I think they are, "Region 0 DVD`s" they are in actual fact, DVD media.
And they are pressed, not DVD-R.
However, the packaging and label quality are inferior, sometimes layer change pauses are pressed into the disc (my mate got Perfect Storm, and it was noticable!!), and they are pirates!!

However, some are done from VCD, but most are Laserdisc transfers or ripped from DVD itself!
(Basically, if the DVD is available in any region, it`s a DVD transfer, if not, next stop is Laserdisc, and bottom line is VCD)

However, here`s something I`ve noticed...
We sell far less DVD`s in store now than we used to;
We have prices lower than most others in our trading area;
"Region 0" DVD`s are available from local markets;

See where this is going? Yep, if everyone continues with the pirated stuff, I can see the actual format becoming more expensive, and even possibly getting to the stage that the format could be jeopardised in favour of a less-easy-to-pirate version!!

Stay Legit! Don`t touch the pirated stuff!!

I`m not condoning piracy or nothing but do you really think the police will break down your door for 1 pirate dvd? Doesn`t this sound a little extreme.

Firstly, they would need a lot of evidence to come into your house, because if they dont find anything, then you can do them.

The chances of someone who has 1 dvd pirate getting caught is VERY slim indeed. They are after the people who distribute the DVD Silvers.

i for one has had 1 or two silvers, and didn`t find them to be that good, quality aint quite there.

Stick to originals , trust me :)
