I was actually just reading this thread earlier. And then I recieved these in the mail today (see pics)

Im so glad that these are already in dispute with Paypal

Man that sucks. Here is the one I have, this is what it should have looked like. Just for anyone who might be curious. Sorry for the horrible PQ.

Thanks for that Fenris.

I too have bought what appears to be a BD-R Avatar from Ebay.
I kinda figured as much with the price of $48.00 although the seller claims " This is genuine NOT a Bootleg. Clearly a lie.

1) I cannot see though the disc when held up to the light. Not even when its a few cm away from a halogen.
2) The burn surface is black not silver.
3) The menu chapter mini screens don't all work properly
4) It looks nothing like the photos you have posted. Not the disc or cover.

The 3D looks pretty good though....so at least i didn't pay top dollar like some did on Ebay.
It doesn't play on an ordinary dvd player though. Mine wont even read it...so guess its a BD-R not DVD copy.
