Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, DVD, China, 2005


This release promised all three prequels on 1 disc. To fit all the movies on one dual-layered disc they had to reduce the resolution of the DVD video to 352x480 (known as "Half D1"). You can imagine the quality was only so-so.

Unfortunately, the data layer of my DVD has oxidized completely and the disc is no longer readable. It was already glitchy when I bought it back in 2005, and as of 2011 isn't even recognized as a DVD by my players.

The spine has the crease "tell" of a typical chinese bootleg being shipped flat without a cover. You'll see that a lot.
