Ghostbusters R1 vs Superbit??

hi people,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WD2V

Re - ebay 'SuperBit' Ghostbusters pack.

Do you honestly believe that this 'pack' is a Superbit ?? Lets see - mmm - extras are detailed as being present on the disc (whereas any 'superbit' had no extras). And would 'superbit' help out on the presentation of a film as old as Ghostbusters ? (wouldn't the original version be enough ?). And the best part - region 1 and 2 on a disc ??

If it looks dodgy - it probably is. The DVD market is quite 'mature' enough now to pick out titles which aren't exactly - as we put here in Australia - 'fair dinkum' (ie - the real thing).

As for ebay itself - its a risk that u take buying anything of it !!

Do you think its worth risking though ??

There is a Ghostbusters Superbit, but this auction looks like a little fishy. Here's a link with the specs.

Yeah, stay away from ebay for the Japanese Superbits because they are bogus (as we all know). I mean, How in the world can they sell what they do for $14 or whatever and the two pack is $90 from Japan. So, that is the easy tip-off. THe one that makes me laugh is the Jurassic Park 3 pack.

Well...not that i'm advocating buying boots or anything...but I got the Jurassic Park superbits on ebay and they are the *ahem* Asian edition= exact copies of the dual layer Japanese version for a 5th of the price.
