Is my copy of Assault on Precinct 13 a fake?

I just received a copy of Assault on Precinct 13 (Carpenter's version), and well, instead of a barcode, it says ''Sell as a packagage, do not separate'', what's up with that?

Means it was part of a package. IE a 2 pack where 2 movies are packaged together and sold as one unit. Recently got Kung fu Hustle and Hellboy packaged together, as well as Requiem for a dream and Pi packaged together. Most of the time that lable is actually a sticker on the outside of the individual cellophane wrapping of the dvd, and can be removed exposing the original barcode. But not always.

It means it was originally sold in a package with something else. I forget what came with that DVD, the original version of that film. I bought that two-pack though, so yes, that's normal.

Now if the front of the dvd cover art had a DVD-9 logo in the corner, then you'd have a problem!

That's it. I have this too. It was available at plenty of other retailers though. I'm pretty sure I got mine from DDD.

So the ones that say DVD-9 are fakes then?

Oh yeah, that combo makes sense.

i thought the same thing. i remember buying Assault alone for probably the same price as the 2 pack, so i didn't have to own dreamscape.
