Actually I prefer the bootleg * dodges brick* I have had one problem with a bootleg, the main menu was a little off. Exact same voices used in the english version on anime network. I think if I can buy a season of import anime for $20 or less rather than $120. I am doing pretty good. So far I would estimate my savings at about (If I bought them all from media play at full price) $1050 this year, and counting.
