DVD box

[teinisydan.livejournal.com]

Hey!
I'm going to buy the Queer as Folk DVD box with all the seasons but I've seen two kinds of boxes in the Internet: Black box and white box. Can someone tell what's the difference between these?
Thanks!

Question answered really fast! If someone has any other knowledge I'd like to hear it.

The white box is the only legitimate USA release. I'm not sure about a black box, but the pink boxes you sometimes see online are bootlegs. A black box would either indicate a bootleg or a foreign release. I'd suggest you simply get the white box - that way you know it's quality and all the disks will work, etc.

I don't know what black box you've seen around, but if it's the one on sell on Amazon, I believe it's official but it's for Europe, so Region 2 coded. The white box is Region 1 (US and Canada).

From what I know, the white box has english subs (in case you need it;) and it's region 1, only for Us and Canada (amazon.com) and the black one is region 2, for Europe, and if I'm not wrong has subs even in other languages...maybe french and deutch, and you can find it on HMV (the place where I've bought all five seasons, very good):)

It might be cheaper to buy the series individually

I bought each season separately from both Amazon and Ebay. The only one I paid full price for was S5, because it had just been released. I got S1 and S2 for 20 bucks, S3 for 30 and S4 for 40, because it was less than a year old. The difference with the boxed set is that supposedly there are extra extras. I don't care about that, not enough to re-buy the whole series.

Heck every series I bought I've bought one season at a time. And I have lots of series. lol The most expensive so far gas been the Star Trek and Stargate ones (for my husband, he's the sci-fi geek).

I would say that don't worry about the colour of the box as any set you buy in a UK shop such as HMV is a legitimate copy. The box set for sale in HMV, and online with Amazon.co.uk and Play.com are all the same black boxe, although the Amazon and Play.com online purchase is £30 cheaper.

You're from Finland, right? (That's what I gather from your user name, at least. Nice to meet a fellow Finn here. :) )I bought each season in separately, though at the same time, from the German Amazon. (No difficulties in getting it since from a EU country plus the prices are in euros, which I found handy.)It was quite easy and fast as well.

Don't don't DON'T get the pink/black box. It's cheaper, but it's an Asian bootleg with very poor playback quality, bad packaging, no extras, Asian subtitles often enabled and are hard to turn off, etc. Also, each season has a different character on the discs, but Brian doesn't get a season. And Justin with Season 4 hair is on the Season 3 discs. Pet peeve of my QAF set. :(
