Back in 2005 a co-worker bough a cam version of the new Fantastic Four movie from someone outside a Checkers. When he played it it turned out to be the 1994 Corman edition. I told him it’s a better movie but he was pissed. He never found that guy again.
Not to mention generally shitty business practices and eve more arbitrary regional locking than you might think. I was living in a non-English speaking country back when I was willing to pay for Netflix and I tried watching an anime only to find I couldn't get the English dub. I contacted support and their answer was "You don't live in an English-speaking region so it doesn't make sense for you to have access to it 🤷🏻♂️". I stopped paying on the spot.
Hmm, I just realized I paid more per envelope than per blank DVD.
Well, I was just thinking that I'd rather give them out for free, or the price of DVD + Case. So I thought I could save on cases by putting them in envelopes, but then I realized I paid 10¢ per SL DVD of which I have like 50 left and 23¢ per C5 envelope.
Kinda wild.
