Moving to Products Discussion

What were the titles you received and how much per unit did you pay for them?

They don't scream fake. They are old films no doubt which leads me to believe that they are budget titles and are maximising the potential distribution levels by keeping them Region Free. On the back of the DVD it should tell you who distributes the movie, if you give them a call they should be able to tell you 100%.

On first glimpse they look OK to me..
