Made a post a while ago asking if anyone knew if they were any good and such, well. Thought I'd update y'all. With a few pics and screenshots cos these things bloody rock.

Out of interest, would you say £15/£16 for one of those sets (be it X-Files, CSI, Buffy or whatever) a decent price? Thats £16 for the box set. Delivered. Eh Eh?

If they don't have the Special Features, I don't call them real.. ;)
Unless I'm buying the wrong ones. The DVD9s, with the new movies, only seem to have the movie and that's all.

Huh?

DVD9 is what most real DVDs are on as they are 9Gb Dual layer discs. DVD5 is what is popular for burning to as they are cheap, with Dual layer only just coming out. DVD9 to DVD5 sucks as to get the whole disc you need to compress it and lose quality.

Also Mystique DVD+RW are silver surfaced so they would look like real DVDs. Dont know what Dual layer discs are like so cant comment on them. If you want to know what the disc is just put it in your PC and see what size the files are etc.

If i paid £16 for that i would be pleased, half of the RRP for what is essentially exactly the same content.

Ah good point on the bardcode. Missed that. Bugggger....ah well only a few quid and it works fine!

Though there is an age thing saying it's "unrated" only in small print. :p

Ok, off to watch TV or sleep or something.

Quite, no barcode on the box either, or age rating.

Normally purple, but just look at the quality of the box and cd art, i don't think this is someone in their loft copying these.
