Default how to spot a counterfeit game of thrones boxset

i recently bought game of thrones season 5 blu ray off ebay and believe it to be counterfeit. so I am reaching out to help others I found this online on how to spot counterfeits so I hope it helps. ill be returning my season 5 , probably will be buying it from wal mart


A list of things to watch out for when buying:

-The exterior blue where it says Blu Ray on the outside was the wrong tone, and did not also say Digital HD, vs the real copy which did.
-The slipcase artwork paper shows color banding and indicates it is a reprint, not the original printer quality.
-The inner guide booklet is clearly reprinted - the words are muddier and less clear - and on cheaper paper.
-The inner paperwork did not include the ultraviolet paperwork, or any other HBO or George R. R. Martin merchandise insets.
-The clear disc cases don't match the other seasons - rounded corners, the Blu Ray logo is in the wrong place, etc.
-The discs themselves have muddy or hard to read and misaligned print on them. The reflective cutouts of the letters don't match the printed letters.
-The discs are clearly burned discs - you can see the circle of burned data and area of blank data on the disc. Real discs show all silver on the bottom and are pressed, not burned.
-The actual content on the discs is shrunk - an episode (pull it up with a tool on the PC) is normally 10-14 GB. Episodes 9 & 10 of my fake were 6-7 GB each.
-The fake Blu Rays did not include either any AACS protection or lower than it should be - the licensed proprietary digital encryption of the Blu Rays. Season 3 was AACS 42, Season 4 was AACS 50, and Season 5 on the proper copy is AACS 57. The fake was not AACS 57.

Please watch out for third party sellers. They themselves may not even know their product is fake
