Has anyone used this site before?

Not sure if this is the right subforum or not.

I saw this link as one of the ads on UD's main page:
http://stores.dvds2gowholesale.com/Cate ... UT+SALE%21

and was looking around, noticing all the great prices on DVDs. But are they legit? Or just someone selling bootlegs? I noticed a few of them said "Original art-cover and case"... does that mean the rest don't have the original cases? If it were only for the Platinum Editions, I'd think they meant the slipcover... but The Jungle Book's Limited Issue has it too and that didn't have anything of the sort.

If it is a legit site, I'll order a bunch of movies from there... but I figured I should ask here first (since it is a UD ad...) before ordering to avoid getting scammed.

Luke does not control the ads that come up.

They really dont look legit - Snow white for $3.99 doesnt sound real.

It's fake. That "Digital Surround Sound" banner that appears on many of there DVDs is a dead giveaway for a bootleg product.

OK... UD should censor their ads then!

I've also had with those fake Song of the South sites... at least the ads should link to disney.com or something...

Those DVDs look like bootlegs. I would avoid that site at all costs.

Believe me, they've tried.

It's just that too many are popping up and being made and Luke only has two hands (which are usually used writing the reviews and managing the site) that it's probably easier to count the number of bootleg sites he was able to block as opposed to the number of bootleg sites that still pop up.

It didn't used to be a major problem, and if you have some kind of ad-blocker, you won't see it. On the plus side, at least it's not the legendary condom boards that UD used to have pre-April 2003.

Ew. If any bootlegs exist they should be of what's not commercially available, and they should be freely available, not sold for profit.
