They seem to be all over the place on ebay, and all state that the only difference is a few markings on the outside of the package and added language tracks or something similar. Can anyone verify any of this stuff? I'm looking to get the Shield Seasons 2,3.
Asian box set editions?

Some of those are probably bootlegs. I'd say bite the bullet and wait for (or buy if they're out already) the Region 1's.

There are region 2 versions of the Shield. The European versions. I don't have those but I've heard they're actualy better than our domestic release. The domestic version of the shield is full frame while the international versions are widescreen.
Of course I've only heard that from word of mouth so I could be wrong. But once I get a region free DVD player I plan on getting the european versions of the Shield.
Season 2 is on sale at Amazon UK. It'll cost about $31 US to have it shipped here. At least, that's according to Yahoo Currecny Converter. You need a region free DVD player.

I've had a lot of luck with these. I think I've only run into one set that wasn't region free and that was a Korean TV series. (thou I think it may have been the real box set)
They are bootlegs or at least all the ones I have picked up were. But I really don't mind or care. I much rather spend $30 on Season 1 & 2 of 'Sliders' then $80. Or $15-$20 for each season of Alias. They are DVD copies (Most of the time copies from HK so there are extra Language tracks) so its not like the quality is bad or I'm missing out on features. Also they seem to remove the Region lock outs on these DVD too so you can play them on any DVD player.
The only thing differnt between these and the ones you buy in the stores is the amount of cash you save and that most of them are Region Free.
