***SOLD***
People, you really should stop speculating about these things ;-)
I purchased the DVD from a readily accessible online web site as an
'Academy Screener' in good faith, however, although it appears to be a
pressed DVD and not a DVD-R, the presence of 'funny Engrish' subtitles
and the fact it is letterbox and not anamorphic seems to indicate it is
a (possibly modified) copy of the Academy Screener and not an original
Academy Screener: hence my identification of the item as 'DVD silver'.
I only purchased the one copy and, now I have finished with it, I'm
selling it as a 2nd hand item (used): this is not a business where I'm
copying the original Academy Screener to DVD-Rs and selling them.
Methinks the studios are missing a marketing opportunity by not selling
the genuine Academy Screeners to the public at a reasonable price.
Since they are watermarked with that 'for your consideration' message
and potentially not exactly identical to the theatrical release, I
expect those who would purchase the Screeners would also purchase the
official DVDs when they are released later. The fact that Academy
Screeners are released to a select few individuals, just encourages
copying IMO, when there most obviously is a demand.
