Overstock.com's Big O box set

Alright, I really want to buy this box set (for under $30, who wouldn't?), but the site says it only contains 2 discs and I thought the first set contained 4 discs. Could someone tell me if this is a bootleg or not?

Do you have a link?

It would be easier to tell.

EDIT: http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?...prod_id=652696#

That one?

The name is right, but the cover art and # of DVD's is definately wrong.

I honestly don't know, it could just be a mistake.

2 discs....hmmm. might be a bootleg. if you buy it just becareful.

Yeah that's the one. I normally trust Overstock.com, but that just seems too odd.

Is there any other place where I could find it for about that price, just to be safe?

Those are some good deals, but a good chunk of them are bootlegs, so read the descriptions carefully so you don't buy the wrong one.

I was going to recommend DeepDiscountDVD, but it appears they have the same info listed: http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=PIO012093

I know for a fact that they only carry Region 1 DVDs, though, so I'm sure that it isn't a bootleg (and the same is probably true about Overstock as well). Most likely, it was just a mistake made by Muze, which both stores use for DVD info. Just to be safe, though, I would recommend checking with the customer service department of the store you want to buy from about the number of discs and the cover art.

Edit: Yep, this is a Muze error, so it is safe to buy it from Overstock or DeepDiscountDVD after all. I confirmed this by looking up the UPC for the Big O Complete Collection from Bandai's website, then using eBay (which also uses Muze's database) to retrieve the DVD info for the UPC. Sure enough, it listed "2-Disc Set" in the description and gave the wrong cover art for the stock photo.

Yeah. That looks like a bootleg to me. But you never know. I'm paranoid after I ordered what looked to be a genuine box set, but was sent a completely different bootleg.

Thanks for that, now I can order it with a clear conscience.
