That's when i feel for the "gringo" in all of us. I buy DVD's all around the world and I've never paid attention to where they were made. Really who cares, what counts is cheap and enjoyable. Quality? Try Dualdiscs for "cd's" that don't play in my Jetta. By the way, my jetta was made in Puebla, Mexico (like all the rest of the VW Jettas)...

Wow, the racism comes out! I bought Life Aquatic and that had a made in mexico sticker on it... your precious Criterion discs are... GASP mexican made.
Though I assure you, Taco Bell's meat is NOT shipped from Mexico.

Not trying to do the mods jobs though, just giving you the info since you seem to be new. If you have a problem with someone's post, your best bet is to email one of the moderators.

Who cares where it's made really as long as it plays, although it would be nice to see manufacturing jobs in the US. Maybe this is one of those "jobs Americans won't do for pay americans won't accept"

If we had more manufacturing factories here again, then the tree huggers would say they're polluting and we should get rid of them.
Can't win.
