is this guy for real?

He`s selling 500 MOVIES IN DiVX and there`s a picture of the lot. I`ve never used eBay so I don`t know how things work there, but I thought eBay wouldn`t let this sort of thing happen?

Apologies if it`s already done the rounds!

wasn`t the dixv format a valid way of renting movies?.. before being used for piracy?.. are these examples of that or am i completely wrong?

You know I think this is DIVX, not DiVX, you know that dodgy rental idea that Circuit City in the US tried to ruin the market with but totally failed?

No idea how any of these could be made to play, I guess you`d need some way of hacking an original DIVX player.

you could be right about that old DIVX format, since the packaging looks like DIVX.

that would explain it then.

Looks like they are normal DivX, with covers printed off somewhere like CDCovers.cc. They`re just stuff he`s downloaded off the net, and he`s just been a bit cheeky and selling them on.

Don`t think so Ben.. the age of the releases give it validity.. as well as the covers being of very high quality
