maniladvdman, unless I actually see a copy of
Brothers & Sisters Season One R3, I'm really sorry but I have to choose
NOT to believe what your friend claims.
I've purchased many other R3 Buena Vista series releases of Viva like
Ugly Betty Season One,
Samantha Who? Season One,
Private Practice Season One, and
Lost Season Three. ALL of these are excellent, first-rate DVD9s that mirror their R1/R2 counterparts. It would seem too weird for the
Brothers and Sisters release to be different from the rest of these and the only one of substandard quality.
Also, I checked the packaging of
Brothers & Sisters Season 1 R3 today. Even the listed special features are
identical to the R1. With this, it would seem very weird if the discs weren't virtually identical copies of the R1 version.
Baka naman Viva employee yung nagbigay, pero pirata yung niregalo?
If I'm proven wrong, I'll apologize to your friend, but it
really seems unlikely.
