Alanpartridge Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I found these through a link/ad on ebay. DVD Supplier Bloody cheap but looks suspect to me.
Alanpartridge Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 They are legit Asian copies Which means! Had a look at their FAQ's, they are Chinese apparently.
darockk Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 they are fakes, all those movies and series surely cannot be region free unless they had been ripped and burnt
Mjr69 Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Copyright is not enforced in all Asian countries and on top of that piracy is doing quite well... If it is a brand new release and still playing in the cinema it is likely to be a substandard cam/TS like can be downloaded off the net. Once the dvd has been mastered and available on inflight movies then the quality would be identical to the upcoming release minus extras. If it is an old release it would be complete and sometimes even better in terms of lots of nice packaging etc... Some of the official Asian releases quite often have superior audio tracks too eg DTS high bitrate etc... or can be a large box set/collection not released anywhere else. So to answer your question - look at the individual titles and if it is very new and cheap it IS probably too good to be true.

For sure they are pirated... just like these sites www.buydvd9.com www.getdtsdvds.com and a whole swag of other - they are all the same site with different URLs (from Malay too) The price is always your first telling-sign (and Star Wars box set region free for $15US? - I dont think so)
