Wonder how they afford to do that, since BD-25 blank is still around $8-10 in bulk

Kairav · 01-24-2008, 03:23 PM

Bootlegs come from either Malaysia or China. BDs must be cheap there.

Cheap to press. Blanks not so cheap or in quantity yet

I think what hes saying is its actually just a DVD its not blu at all just a blu case?

and that still doesnt add up to the "blus are worse than up scaled DVDs"
cause if its a DVD itd be the same quality LOL

Now the gaurantee is on ly good if you can find the people who sold it to you.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry was forced to pirate films.

i flip to the back of the case and i see it says DVD-9 dolby digital 5.1, i talk to the guy and he's like yeah they're dvds...

It's a packaging lie. The product is DVD. And instead of $2 - $5 for a bootleg DVD, they are charging $8.50. Fraud and piracy.

They will probably say it's a special design that can be played on a Blu-ray player.

I think copyprotecting is evil, and no, its not ok.
Reasons why copyprotecting is evil?
It takes forever for my receiver to be accepted by the blu-ray/hd cable box/plasma tv while the handshaking protocols shake out.
Disc protected cds put all kinds of crap on my computer hard drives and then won't play properly!! Now whenever I buy one of the crap discs, I call the distributor and get them to mail me on without it.
I lose the stupid codes on all kinds of kids games that I have bought over the years, and so anytime a harddrive fails, those games are lost permanantly.
Do you need more reasons?

I'm guessing BD9.

WickyWoo · 01-24-2008, 08:43 PM

THey're not that sophisticated

Seriously, they'd just author a DVD and shove it in the new case.

jimmy242 · 01-24-2008, 08:58 PM

i bought warlords staring jet li and andy lau and it has blu - ray on top but its just a bootleg dvd good quality though when its upscaled

jimmy242 · 01-24-2008, 08:59 PM

i bought it for 5$ btw

JJ · 01-24-2008, 09:05 PM

OP, get Josh a picture!

X400 · 01-25-2008, 01:16 AM

heres one pic, i got two but the other one didnt show the full case so well
but today i noticed it actually says "DVD-9" at the bottom right of the case
this pic shows the whole case a lil better, couldnt get great pics cuz the guy was sorta hovering around me.

guess he thought i was gonna steal one

Purcho · 01-25-2008, 02:29 AM

Thats classic. Does it say what resolution on the back? 720p/1080p?
You might be suprised BD-9s arnt that hard to make now days particularly since those 720p mkv torrents seam to be designed to fit on a DL DVD. Its not that hard now. I read up alot about it when i was trying to get transformers in HD.

quaylie · 01-25-2008, 03:10 AM

wow..the chinese are knock off kings..they knock off cars..they have a knock off wii console..and they're even passing this crap as blu-ray..just wow...

jw · 01-25-2008, 03:19 AM

they probably used the BD as the master and scanned the bluray case art, I would have at least taken the insert out........lol

ESUNintel · 01-25-2008, 03:34 AM

Why stick it in a Blu case if its really just a DVD? I guess buyers should read the full package prior to buying what they think is a BD at such a low price.

shadowmoon · 01-25-2008, 04:17 AM

I have the BD for Flashpoint, one of the movie listed above. Picked up in SF. It's not a bad movie with PCM 7.1 and DTS-MA track. Good thing I didnt get the bootlegged one
