Now, if this video were posted the day after release I'd likely believe it. However, at this point, unless he lets a highly respected neutral party borrow and examine one of his remaining 2 copies (assuming the other one actually sold), I still don't believe that out of everyone in the world looking for this disc he alone finds 3 used copies (all 3 on different days), at a random game store in Canada that still uses hand-written receipts.
Missions (the guy on avs who claims to have the worlds only copies), last posting on this subject was 9/7, why not post this video earlier?.
What has he been doing or working on for the last 8 days???

I skimmed that video because it was long and boring, but it seemed like he again avoided showing the 'settings' menu, which if in fact genuine should have the lossless audio option that the hd dvd does not... that should shut most people up IMO....

They didn't make the same version though. The back of the blu-ray case lists lossless audio and the poster has mentioned it has that extra audio track, but never shown the menu for it.

According to Adam's review, the HD DVD was announced with TrueHD, but the final product doesn't have it. Thus, I'd imagine that if the Blu-ray had been released, it also would not have a lossless soundtrack.

mdc3000: obviously you're not convinced that the disc is real; otherwise you would not be requesting to see the "settings" menu as well.
So, what are you suggesting, that the demo on YouTube is fraudulent? Even with all that you've seen already?
Your continued skepticism is baffling.

I'm still really skeptical that WORLD-WIDE this is the only person who has been able to find a copy. And, on top of that managed to find 3 used copies at a store in Canada that still uses hand-written receipts.

He just posted "exhibit B" on youtube showing the audio options screen with 5.1 PCM uncompressed audio as an option.

The events surrounding the disc are really odd, but there it is.

I'm sure if they printed them up then there are more than a few Blades of Glory BR discs out there. The pulled Robocop advance discs will probably be harder to get your hands on ....

Usually releases are at the store level up to 2 weeks before the release date, the announcement was made only about a week before release. Yet, no one has even been able to confirm seeing these in a warehouse.

Shoot, even ebay doesn't have them. If I can't even trust ebay, who can I trust?
