Bootleg 3D Blu-rays and how to avoid them

[Bigsasquatch]

Hi,

new here , so sorry if this has been asked before......

I picked up suppoosedly what was the 4 Blu-Ray Panasonic UK promo package including Avatar 3D from ebay, and was wondering if I have an original Avatar 3D disc or not ? ( or someone swapped it out for a boot and sold along with the other 3 originals to make it more saleable thus going for a slightly more clever scam than selling outright )

If its a boot its a very good one, but some things are bugging me as follows:

- Packaging was different from the other three films in a slim vs std size box
- disc is silver, see through with a light and wont boot on a pc dvd drive
- the art printing is relatively good, but the text maybe has a hint of blur.. cant really tell ...

- If I look at the central leader around the centre of the disc on the silver side it looks a ittle narrower than other blu rays I have
- In addition the holo text / bar info ( 2 circles printed around the inner of the disc )that is normally printed around the center of the silver side looks super faint... on all my other blu rays it is super clear holo type printing but on this disc its super faint and I can barely read it... and of course being narrower it seems they are closer together than usual.
- the disc isnt silver all the way to the center and I can see a portion of white at the centre of the disc which is the printing showing on the other side.


Does anyone have the PAL official release to compare aganst ? just want to identify if someone is trying a more clever scam....or I actually have the original and it just happens to be this way.....

thanks
