Man... USPS Media mail is crappy.... This DVD got here from Malaysia quicker than the one i ordered from Maryland....

FYI, this is the DVD i ordered in a spur of the moment Ebay bid that i didnt read quick enough.... LINK TO ORIGINAL POST 🙂
 
International piracy... Interresting. This may change the way I look at other things, if this is an acceptable thing to do of course.
 
If you read the other thread i linked to... i didnt realize it was pirated until AFTER i won the auction...
 
I just read the auction, and that's cool of the dude to gift wrap it and give you a greeting card if you request it.

So, does the DVD look legit?

That makes it much better.
LOL, really....
<officer> SAY, this looks like Cocaine.....
<you> NO WAY!! I was told it's a miracle cure for what ails me....
<officer> Uhhhhh, then why is it packaged in a small folded bit of paper??
<you> Economy and Ecology in packaging????

Bootlegs suck.


 
Wow, that's quite fast. Usually when my parents sent me sth even thru express mail, it'll take at least 10 days.
Right now the pirated VCD/DVD/games industry has gone down the drain after numerous govt raid, too bad.
 
WHOAH! Im not kidding.. This DVD is perfect... Can't even tell its pirated...

Even the 5.1 DTS light on my Sony Reciever comes on while its playing... No subtitles... Perfect Video.... Looks like i didnt get screwed this time... Luckily...

The case looks funny though, shoulda be my first clue.... Next time im reading the ebay auctions more carefully!
 
Dude, you just helped Al Qaeda purchase more RPGs for use against our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. You'll also get cancer from handling them, government studies show it will happen. See what you get for trying to save money?

Some of the Boots from SE Asia are quite good. Those guys WANT the $$$ that comes from not being an obvious fake.
Take a walk is some marketplaces in another country, Japan , for instance.
Bootlegs GALORE. Professionally duplicated, Not CD-R's. Some with really well printed graphics.
Scary to anyone who publishes anything.
