Numbers on the back of Blu-ray discs.

[DukeTogo84]

I recently bought Toy Story 3 and had to return it because it was skipping and what not. On the back of the disc there were numbers in brackets like (356335) and (356336).

On my second copy I bought it didn't have numbers in brackets by something like BVDL-1323232 or something of that nature.

Is this normal or is one a counterfeit? I bought both used, but it's weird that they would have numbers in the back that are much different?

I just don't want to own any counterfeits and wanted to see what everyone thinks.

Disney films are regularly bootlegged on ebay. The differences are often quite subtly between a legitimate release and a faked one. Posting photos of the slip cover/cover art may help us identify what you have.

I wouldn't worry about it. If it plays fine, just watch and enjoy.

Generally pressed Blurays are pretty likely OK discs. Were both US releases, were they both the same release since I think there are are least 3 or 4 different versions.

One was a four disc release and one was a two disc release, but the actual cover art on the discs looked exactly the same.

Quick question. I was originally lead to believe that Blu-rays couldn't be replicated and only "burned" and the only way to tell if it was a counterfeit was if the back of the disc was black. Is that not the case anymore and can counterfeits actually have discs that look like the real deal on the back side?
