BOUND (French Bootleg?)

Post by Markgway »

Just unwrapped this present and noticed that my copy looks like a bootleg.

The sleeve is printed on cheap paper and looks like an inkjet photocopy.

The disc itself looks like a DVD-R (purple on the playing side) and the surface side again cheaply printed.

Does anyone else have this edition (from M6 video) to compare?

Just had a chance to check the actual disc and my player spat it out!

Now I have to contact Amazon.fr about a replacement or refund.

Got a sealed replacement from Amazon.fr this morning.
Talk about expeditious! It was only shipped yesterday.
They responded to my Xmas day email within 2 hours.
10/10 for customer service.
Everything seems to be kosher now... BD has slipcase, glossy sleeve, and silver disc.
No idea what happened with the last one... dodgy supplier maybe?
Just need to send it back to them ASAP and we're done.

Not interlaced. It's 1080p. And the audio is original English 5.1 (the US BD has only 2.0). Seemed absolutely fine to me.

Here's a review:
