I bought this series for my daughter who's a huge fan of Friends. The price was very good. My only concern was when it came I saw it was from China. I haven't had good luck with games (for nintendo ds), and cds from China. The quality hasn't been good. I'm going to rate this good, because, and only because I'm not sure how long they will last, going on past "china" experience. Other wise they have been working fine so far and should be rated between excellent and good. This dvd set is working fine, so I'm crossing my fingers that they will continue to do so.
The only thing I can say here is caveat emptor (buyer beware). It seems that a good percentage of these boxed sets, “new” as they may be – are illegal copies of licensed media. I purchased one of these sets, without even considering whether or not they were counterfeit. As it turned out, the dvd’s did not play correctly - skipping, hesitating, or blocking at various points. After inspecting the discs, I discovered anomalies and imperfections in the discs that would not normally exist with a quality, licensed product. The most telling evidence was the word “FRIENPS” (yes, with a P) imprinted in foil, near the center hub opening on the disc - funny, yes… and also very irritating. A bit of online investigation found these sets readily available from Asian distributors. If you’re going to buy any boxed DVD set, ask the seller if it is new, original, LICENSED media, (as opposed to an Asian counterfeit) or you may be in for a bit of a disappointment.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Ok well I purchased this Friends complete Series last year around Christmas time and it is definitely a fake. Unfortunately, I didn't know it was until a few months later when I got through the series so it was too late to get covered by ebay and half the discs don't even play or they skip constantly. I love this series, I highly recommend getting it but these are the things I learned to look out for...my box looks very real, but these are the differences I noticed. The fake box has "Friends, complete series" in front in all white and it is not engraved. The authentic box is taller than the fake and the dots in between the "Friends" on the front are all different colors. The letters on the authentic box are engraved. I am just sharing what I learned because I do not want anyone else getting ripped off by the people selling these fake series. Don't be fooled, the fakes are very very very well made but the discs do not work, the fake also has the pictures on the front but they are basically printed off of a computer and glued on. The real box has them scanned on. My advice would be to go to a store and see how the authentic box looks in person so you are able to compare on ebay.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This Friends set is actually the individual seasons crammed into tiny cases. They are held in by paper tabs, occasionally two discs per 'sleeve' (if you can call it that). The episode preview (the coffee mug icon) doesn't work on all the discs I have seen so far. There are no identifying marks on the discs to show what season the disc belongs to (but they EXACTLY the same menus set ups as the original season DVDs) All in all, disappointing. I feel they let down Friends fans. Why cheap out on a great series. The video quality is decent. There are minimum special features, and there is no great incentive to purchase the complete collection as opposed to the individual seasons (except saving a few bucks and some room on the shelf).
I love the case and the way the DVD's are arranged. Unlike the single season sets, they are catagorized by episode number. Also rather than there being 10 sets, like the single season sets, there are 6 sets, each having a picture of one of the friends on the set. It is pretty cool. The only downside is that there is a large book in the back of the box and that is the only place where the episodes are listed. It makes it kind of hard and a bit of a pain to find the episode you want to watch. But other than that they are great, and I was extremely pleased with the purchase!
