Fake DVDs

I ordered some Xbox 360 green replacement cases off eBay, because some of mine were damaged and I’d like to keep the same green look in my library collection. I received my package today and I was surprised to find out that in every single case, there was a DVD movie. The first thing that popped into my head was seller mistake? Then I thought maybe that’s why green dvd cases are more expensive than regular dvd case, they’re code for bootlegs!

At first I didn’t realize these were fake as they looked quite real. The DVD cover art was nice and the back of the DVD was silver. However upon further inspection, you can tell that the cover art is actually a DVD sticker label.

Not only were these not bootlegs, these were not even real DVDs. I tried placing a couple into my DVD-ROM drive and none of them were readable. Looking closer at the back of the DVD, they did look funky:

Anyway, I’m not sure why these were included with my shipment. Maybe they were there in case you weren’t sure how to use a DVD case. I just know I now have a stack of coasters.

Previously…

My guess for the increase view of the Canon PSC-1000 is the fact that the Canon SD1000 digital camera has been on sale recently, and given that it’s near Christmas and many SD1000s are being given as gifts, they thought a nice camera case would go along with it.

The case is actually quite nice, thought a bit expensive. The hole on the top where the wrist-strap goes through is a bit too small. I actually took and scissor and made the hole bigger. Turned out rather well.
