DVD reasoning

about a year ago i bought a VHS copy online for about $30. and now i just ordered a copy off ebay it looks like it might be a little bit more decent then a VHS, and even if only its as good as a VHS at least i have it on DVD, seeing as VCR's are becoming extinct these days.

I also heard that the reason it hasnt come out on DVD yet is because: the original master tape has been lost, making it hard to be remastered for DVD.

check out the copy i bought off ebay

my mom bought a brand new item of it

and it doesn't work

it says disc error
and it has said it's not available on dvd yet

all of those dvds are bootleg on ebay

my mom has her refunded money back from ebay

the legend of billie jean is only on vhs

not on dvd

not yet

so steve i think you have a bootleg copy

i'm writing the studios for the movie

I wish they would...if nothing else what they ought to do is re-release it on VHS, that way we'd stand a better chance of finding a copy without having to pay such high prices for it. It's a good movie, but $25 for one tape is outrageous. Does anyone agree?

their is brand new vhs of the legend of billie jean

on amazon but the seller is saying it's $140

he or she wants $140 if someone wants their item

i think that price is too high

i think that is called outrageous

well i'm hoping the studios or the producers

or the directors get this video on vhs for all of us

and that it's new and not costing a whole lot

i want this movie and ski patrol

hbo shows them and i ask them to show it again

hbo said no

I watching it on HDNet right now, and the transfer is more than good enough for a DVD release. It's showing again later this week, and I hope to burn it to DVD.

cancersign, either you got a badly burned DVD, or your player is crappy or old. The bootlegs are just region 0 computer burns.

Its a neat movie, but its not worth $100+ for a VHS copy. The bootleg DVD's go for like six bucks.
