The Kingdom On Blu-ray ... NOT! - Blu-ray Forum

Wreck · 02-22-2008, 10:21 PM

Soooooo I imported "The Kingdom" blu-ray from thailand... thinking how could this be possible!?! Region Free! I didnt care, I had to take the chance, since I really enjoyed the movie.

Who puts this much effort into a bootleg is beyond me.

I've posted this in the Blu-ray movie section as now it is official, its not out, even in thailand, as some google searches said were true.

Talk about professional bootlegging. It even had blu-ray previews on the disc.

Ok, now here is the pics, laugh at me.

btw, it had loads of extras, subtitles, and the menu screen was awesome :P

It was shrink wrapped, and came in a SDVD size case. It had a slip cover as you can see.

Look at the details on the back of the case, boy did they use that photoshop!

What's this, is that a tri-fold cover? With pics behind it?

Can a bootleg be anymore well made!?

Looked pretty legit actually, seeing as how some countries have big cases...

Except... It plays in the DVD PLAYER! PS3! Oh, and that damn HD-DVD Player! (which I bought just to get The Kingdom, but did that satisfy me when I saw this? lol, no, I just had to have it. Now I hate it!)

hahahaha...don't want to know how much you paid...that is a good bootleg.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 02-22-2008, 10:29 PM

simcal · 02-22-2008, 10:31 PM

Wow they got you good, how much?

Wreck · 02-22-2008, 10:35 PM

ya know, I think they actually thought they were doing this great thing, making movies look so awesome with their cases and what not, I think the dumbasses didnt know blu-ray was a new technology, cause I mean its great for a DVD lol , it has a helluva menu, extras, subtitles out the ass :P, 3 different "Welcome to the world of blu-ray" previews lol!!!!

Then I looked at the back that sum ***** I was liek what teh hell, this is a DVD!!!! It was a good laugh.

36 bucks!

but I paid paypal

clownface · 02-22-2008, 10:53 PM

That's next level bootlegging right there!!!

quaylie · 02-22-2008, 10:59 PM

That's bootlegging in High Definition.

Chaka · 02-22-2008, 11:02 PM

But does it have extras???

miokti · 02-22-2008, 11:02 PM

wow... if they're that good in making all that... shouldn't they just get a real job? that's a really good bootlegging job. i can understand how someone could fall or it.

Mermen79 · 03-29-2008, 06:25 PM

I wouldn't mind boot legs so much if they were all highly produced instead of recorded on home cams from the cinema.

How was the quality of the picture? Is it like the original DVD release? I hope you at least got a decent DVD.

Soooo you wouldn't mind people illegally copying movies and selling them to other unsuspecting people?

No, that's what you inferred, not what I think. I wouldn't be as annoyed with bootlegs if some were higher quality. That doesn't mean I would actively support it, I just wouldn't hate it as much. When I'm trying to order products from SE Asia, it's especially hard to get AUTHENTIC items which really angers me cos the fake stuff is shit.

Too bad Thailand is on the list of countries from which the merchant sells from, and thus not covered by the buyer protection coverage. eBay?

GreenScar · 03-29-2008, 06:53 PM

Man there was a lot of work put into that. They must be producing a lot of these.

blackhawktraffic · 03-29-2008, 07:00 PM

Yeah i made the mistake of buying a dvd a long time ago from Thailand, honestly I stay away from anyone not in the US on ebay now.

Western Europe is fine as well. Don't be so US-centric. If you're getting a rare DVD, always ask the person where he/she got it from.
