hobohunter48 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 So I bought The Five-Year Engagement from a seller on Amazon and it came in today and I'm worried that it might be a bootleg. Although I've never seen one before so I'm not exactly sure. The cover art is obviously sub par quality and looks grainy/pixely. What worries me the most is that it says "Made In Mexico" on the back. Any thoughts? I kind of want to open it and see how good the quality of the movie is but then I'm afraid I won't be able to return it.

Snaggle Von Swift Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 old thread, but I have noticed no lack of overall playback quality of the Mexican-producedDVDs distributed by Universal and Disney.However, the packaging of most multi-disc sets from Mexico is very bad. Ihave had to exchange many of these sets because of severe scratches.Fingerprints on the disks are also a problem and often, the packaging isdamaged. http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t274382-dvds-made-in-mexico-any-differences.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjm23 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I work for a Video Store and a lot of titles have the "Disc Made in Mexico" on them. Not seeing the cover makes it hard to tell but this sounds like it's a legit release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popscratch Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I bought a season of The Office directly from Amazon, and on the shrinkwrap it said made in Mexico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 NOT MADE IN MERICA! Ship it back!!! As for asians being bootleggers, I think Mexicans could possibly be an acceptation to stereotypes and illegal activity of digital media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Every single person I know on the other side of the bridge in my town has bootlegs. They don't even care, they have no cases and just write the name of the movie on the DVD. They're the actual bootleg type that's recorded by someone in the theater. I watched a bootleg of final destination 5 and it was really hard to pay attention when people in the audience kept yelling OH SHIT SHE GONE DIE.

nick6ten Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I work at Amazon and see this and "Disc made in Canada" all the time. Back to the bootleg talk... The gas station down the street from my house is fairly ghetto and usually on Friday and Saturday nights there is a guy INSIDE the gas station selling bootleg dvd's. I asked for a copy of Batman over the summer and got a copy of "Bad Man" the quality was a little rough, but it was only $4. popscratch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminded me of the Amanda Show where that family works at Blockblister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobohunter48 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks guys! As long as the DVD plays well and is legit I could care less about where it's made and how the case looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
