"The Ring" trilogy

I'm thinking of buying this set off ebay and don't know if its legit. Its region 0 so it should play in my region 1 player. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=2299

Welcome to the forum!

I have all three titles and they are definately R2. I don't believe that any of these titles are R0.

The first title is available in R1 through Dreamworks along with the American remake, and the latter two are still to my knowledge only available from Tartan Video in the UK.

If I had to guess, I'd say these are all boots.

www.hkflix.com has the actual discs listed if you're interested. I think they ran about $29.95 per disc.

I have all three official releases and the first two (Ring, and Ring 2) are listed as "Region 0" on the cases. The third film, Ring 0, ironically enough, is region 2. Got all of mine through Amazon's UK site.

I thought most DVD-9 movies were booties.

Those are either definitely boots, or the guy putting them up is intentionally conning everyone. Most important thing is he says they are NTSC. The Tartan releases are PAL and are DVD-5.

My vote is boots.

BEWARE! The visual quality on this version of Ringu is so far inferior to the official US release of Ringu you won't believe your eyes. It's that bad.

Most American studio movies are DVD-9. They're just one-sided DVDs with a layer change...What makes you think these would be boots?

Because they're NTSC. Tartan has not released NTSC versions of these discs. These are bootlegs that pop up all over NYC.
