Given the recent issues with Amazon and bootlegs I was hoping I could get a check on this before I order.

If this is the wrong forum or such I apologize.

Looks like the legit release to me. I pre-ordered the same thing at Rightstuf a while ago and the release date is the same.

The one you posted from Amazon is legit. Best deal is here though.

I think that because dvdpacific is going to charge you double (possibly triple) shipping it might be best to go with Deepdiscountalthough there only going to be a very small difference.

Also my local anime store already had this out (along with When they cry) and I must say that SE is amazing, it makes me mad that they didn't try to give Roots a nicer artbox.

Embarassed oh you might be right. I actually just found out how they do the weight system over at Pacific. Which still ends up fine for singles, but if you have bundled items they might even charge a 4 weight. I just took the first one I got off of DVD price search .com, thats all. Still would end up cheaper than Amazon though. I think, maybe Confused

There is no reason to assume that Amazon is littered with bootlegs. This is an isolated incident. If Amazon had been known for selling bootleg products, it wouldn't have taken so long to discover, and the news wouldn't be as significant. For something like SHnY, it's been licensed recently and has a legitimate U.S. distributor. You can be certain that what's listed on Amazon is a legitimate product. And when something is a bootleg, it's usually quite obvious.
