Probably fakes.

I doubt. Movies usually get sent around to the stores about one to two weeks before street date. You can, however, get into trouble with studios for selling before street date.

Two deeply, truly mediocre movies?

Nice let me know how you like Cop Out I haven't seen it yet I love Bruce Willis movies I was thinking about blind buying this one.

hardtosayx · 07-16-2010, 04:12 AM

Whatever, I'm happy for you. I wish I could get movies early, the only one I've ever gotten was Saw VI a week early.

Firstly, breaking street dates is actually illegal.

Secondly, the sh*tty quality of your picture makes it difficult to see the quality of the covers, making it difficult to determine the authenticity.

I don't think its illegal to break street date. A store may get a hefty fine and employee(s) may loose their job or even worse not be able to purchase future product from the specific studio. I don't see anyone going to jail over breaking street date. I am sure our legal system has more to worry about them someone getting a Blu-ray or a game a few weeks early.

OrlandoEastwood · 07-13-2010, 01:18 AM

You'd be surprised at how greedy some studios are in this economy.

Chloenator · 07-13-2010, 01:21 AM

Yeah, I don't think it's illegal to break street dates, but stores can get slapped with very hefty fines if they're caught putting stuff out early, which is why most retailers don't do it.

I don't know about now or how movie studios do it, but many years ago when I worked in a record store, if you broke street date, the companies would punish you by you not getting the new items till after the street date, which would mean a loss of revenue.

nice, Losers is an awesome movie....how much did they cost?

BLURAYSONYES · 07-13-2010, 12:35 AM

$18 each.

I dont have all the time in the world to take the best pictures for movie covers. Just a quick shot is all it matters. I may be illegal for the seller but not to me which isint my problem in the first place.

1. It takes 2 minutes to take a decent picture. It's not exactly a monumentus quest!

2. It is illegal, and these BDs are evidence of that. You are holding that evidence, making you just as liable to face prosecution if it is discovered that you have them.
