Nope--bought it, and it's a pretty good quality dupe of the VHS. Totally bootleg, down to custom menus, etc... pretty good for what it is really, but NOT what the eBay ad is pumping it up to be.
Also showed-up scratched and NOT "sealed" as advertised, as well--serves me right, already knowing the score on bootlegs, from years living in the '3rd World,' but thought it might be worth a shot, regardless.
Going to make sure it plays through at least, and then ask for all (or at least some) of my $$$ back, so I don't have to bring the friggen Ebay hammer down on this poor Greek homeboy...
Since you can pick one of these up at any black-market DVD stand in Patpong, Bangkok for $2, the $32.90 pricetag stings a bit, but then again, stupid Americans (me) are a bunch of suckers anyway, and will buy anything, apparently...boo-frickety-hoo.
Buyer(s) beware.
