Do they sell you a VHS tape, or a VHS tape with a burned DVD included (legal) or just a burned DVD copy with a copy of the cover art (illegal)?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

I loved the Drive-Ins, but running these stinkers made it very difficult to love them.

They warn you outright that the quality is not exactly up to par with today's studio DVD releases.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-03-2008 07:13 PM                     There not imported VHS titles. They are VHS titles that are not available yet in the US market on DVD, because of some rights issues or the studio has not gotten to them yet. The cover art work is all made up of materials from the VHS boxes. Not on art work lack of full studio type info. On imported VHS and DVD's have more legal notices printed on them. Your buying bootlegs of copyrighted movies. The guy does not update the titles well. Because 13 of them have just been released by the real rights owner.  |  IP: Logged Frank Bruno Film Handler Posts: 50 From: houston, tx Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-30-2008 12:10 AM                     Sites like this seem to wait to actually get told to cut it out by the distributor when selling stuff that gets officially released. I stalk them, hunting for stuff, then when I find it's out there I don't end up buying it.  |  IP: Logged
