I bought a DVD from this store yesterday entitled Toto - Live and it had a dts sign on the back of the case but the dts feature wasn't available anywhere on the menu.

It has no region coding but it says it will play on only NTSC DVD players.

Was i dupped ? did i buy a fake ? the sound is really good but is it normal to get dvds with dts signs on the casing and yet you have no option on the menu to use it ?

Can someone help on explaining please kung naloko ako or if there are dvds that have auto dts audio or something... kung meron lang naman pwede

Sorry but i honestly don't know where i should post this ... forgive me nalang mr/ms moderator if nagkamali ha

to be honest, what you have described seems to me as an example of a malaysian pdvd. they put dts there in the label because it they found that it sells better. can't be sure until i see it.

megamix is selling pirated stuff? i know they sell R1 DVDs at expensive prices, but never knew they'd stoop that low...

Wat does the disc itself look like? Is there any markings on the center of the discs like numbers and letter? Usually, that's the best place to check if it is indeed fake. Kung wala...malamang fake nga.

Got it for P800.00 <-- kaya nga i bought it kasi WOW, nagkamali sila pricing !!! Yun pala grrr stupid of me

Meron naman nakalagay na Toto - Live and More at the center na parang hologram.

I usually look at the DVDs in Megamixx and have never seen any obvious pirated dvds there.Did it come with a security sticker?And they don't have P800 discs, the lowest is around P1,400.If they priced it like that and they still sold it to you, then there must be something wrong.Just bring it back and tell them about the problem.No such thing as getting away with wrong pricing unless the cashier is not familiar with their items.Sa lagay na yan dami nilang DVDs eh dapat alam nila they don't sell less than P1k.

note:Wala pa akong nakitang PDVD packaging that is the same as the origs.Just look closely at the print and case, you should be able to tell the difference.Of course there should be number code/brand on the inner circle of the DVD.Tingnan mo yong PDVD iba klase markings.If your saying the DTS logo is just a sticker then I guess your in trouble.

Just return it I'm sure Megamixx will not contest that.

Diver,

I was informed that the DVD you bought from Megamixx was consigned to them and they had no idea that there was no official release of that DVD. It was a mistake on their part but they have no intention to fool the buyers, that I do know. Had they known it was not an official release, I'm very sure you won't find it in their inventory. The store do not sell any pirated DVDs.

You could probably go back to the store, like some members suggested. I'm sure they will not turn you down. If you're uneasy with going back and asking for your money back, let me know. I might be able to help you out.

Just want to clear this out since people might get the idea that pirated DVDs are already available at Megamixx.

Thanks!

PARC

PS. Sending you a PM Diver.

if you want your money returned and ayaw nila, and they tell you that they can only exchange it for something else, you can always threaten them for selling FAKE STUFF!

diver · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 25, 2003 at 01:46 AM »

Thanks a lot PARC. I will just call them and ask them if i can return it but i will definitely Not go there tomorrow because of the EDSA thing ... most probably Wednesday... wish me luck everyone

nerveblocker · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 25, 2003 at 07:38 AM »

Good Luck! After spending money for it, I guess they have no reason to have a no return/exchange policy. You should expect service for buying an original DVD from them.

That is also one way for them to fight piracy.

You must be referring to MegaMixx (i think). Interesting selection, but the marked up prices are relatively high, better deals could be found through the posts here.

moonstone · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 25, 2003 at 08:36 PM »

the shop you're referring to is MEGA-MIXX. it's got lots of DVDs but a bit pricey if you ask me. well, pricey is relative afterall. hehe.

Weeeeeee I was able to return the Toto DVD that I got from Megamixx today without any questions asked. The girl said that the dvd was just consigned to them.

Anyway, they refunded my P800.00 and that really made me very happy.

I guess it was a learning experience for both of us so life goes on.

Thanks again PARC for the help

there's only one thing I can say....MAHAL DUN!

dito ka na lang sa marketplace and instead na bumili ka ng dvd dun kahit mouth-watering eh dito kana,you can buy 2 R1's here for the price of 1 from there!

The prices of dvd there are also the same price in Virra Mall Greenhills. Minsan mas mababa pa nga sila. I bought there the special edition of The Silence of the Lambs.

yeah its better to canvas first before you actually buy the titles, some are a little bit pricey than the other shops but let your finger do the walkin (use the phone) it saves you time and hardly earned money.

just my opinons'
