I just got a note back from them saying they are international release DVDs... Yeah, right ... and they are NTSC and Region 1 by pure coincidence ...  If you want to have fun with them, ask them where exactly the set you bought was released, I'm really curious. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | This is really annoying, and I am going to send another note and ask where they bought them. They'll probably say something like they can't divulge the names of their suppliers. I don't even remember how I ran across that site, because I typically buy all my DVDs from a very small number of legitimate online retailers.
I so much appreciate everyone's help. Maybe my credit card company will go after them for the money. I'll post what the vendor response to the note if I get one.
Thanks again!

There is a lot on that site that are not in the genuine R1 packaging, or multi-season packages that are not on the main R1 sites - Amazon, DVDEmpire, etc. It looks very questionable.
The X-Files set looks like it was photographed on a bed... I can't see the official distributer doing that! 
I think it is a pirate set... sorry. This looks like a job for Scully and Muldar... | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | Well, they say on their site: "All episodes are recorded from TV and digitally converted to DVD. These are not studio-produced products like you would find in a store because they do not yet exist." http://mydvdsandmore.com/myvintagedvds.html After that there are a few pages worth of explaining just why this isn't piratism, and why their practise is completedly legal. If someone would take them to the court about that, I wouldn't be betting for them.  |

| | Posted: | | | | Are they DVD-R's? Purple on the underside rather than silver or gold? That'd be a certain tipoff that they're bootlegs. No major studio (and that includes 20th Century Fox, which owns X-Files) would be releasing a DVD-R. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |
