Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Well, we've all seen the mall kiosk vendors who sell Chinese movies, and it appears they can't help but feel the pressure from Blu-ray either. Forum member X400 was at his local mall and something caught his eye; it was a DVD with artwork used to emulate a Blu-ray case.
As you can tell from the front cover, these are standard DVDs which have been put in standard DVD cases with some misleading print. Of course, using the Blu-ray logo, and emulating the Blu-ray case, is illegal and very misleading, but that won't stop some from trying. You won't find these Chinese knock-offs at regular retailers, but if you happen to shop at Kiosks for your movies, make sure you take a closer look before you buy what you think is a Blu-ray movie.
Thanks goes out to X400 for the excellent detective work.
