i watched ginger snaps last night and the quality was okay. the options were 'view trailer' and 'play movie', there was no extras. maybe these are former rentals. the prices i paid were slightly cheaper than play.com so they cost enough to expect originals. some of them had the chapter number cards in the box and some had the carboard sleeve so i think they have to be original. should dvds have their certificate stamped on the cover (18, 15, U, etc.)? the reason i bought from them was that the 10 dvd's plus shipping were a little cheaper, in paticular kwaidan and onibaba. i suppose i enjoyed ginger snaps as much as possible, wether it was pirate or original. you just wanna make sure you're getting what you are paying for. maybe its time to visit amazon. let me know your verdict based on this further info. thanks

DOUBT alone is enough to make an executive decision here. You *know* deep down that things arent quite right and, as you say, "...the prices i paid were slightly cheaper than play.com so they cost enough to expect originals." So go to a company that you know will send you authentic cd's/dvd's.
Amazon isnt always that cheap but their service is second to none (my personal opinion, having used them for many years now) and play.com is pretty good too!

Here's to making executive decisions! :D

looks like i'll stick to play and amazon. i'd still be interested in hearing your opinions.

My opinion - if I received a cd/dvd and it's cover didnt seem authentic (like a slightly crude copy) I would be pissed off. If the actualy cd or dvd played okay but had features missing, that you know would be found on an authentic cd/dvd then I would be pissed off and would feel that there is a possibility that I have received a bootleg.

Now, if the price is real cheap and I am happy with the quality of the music/film playback that is all well and good BUT if I am not told they are bootlegs and was expecting the real thing, then I would be pissed off and would definitely not buy from them again.

It depends on what you gut feeling says...... and how happy you are with the result gut feeling. Are you happy about it or not? That is where the decision lies.
