Strange that I already have it in my hands - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hello everyone! Yesterday, sunday, I found The Return of the King in a video store, I was so happy and surprised that I didn't give it a second thought and bought it. But the strange thing is not the fact that tomorrow is released, but it's that I live in México and the mexican edition is supposed to come out until next friday.
Has anyone else gotten it before its release?
Anyway, I won't have the time to see it until next wednesday, meanwhile I'll drool everytime I see it in my dvd shelf.

Was it a reputable store? Or one that doesn't mind selling pirated versions

. Or is it an official version? I had a friend who got me TTT in Hong Kong for $1, it was great, but obviously pirated (especially when you turned on the captions

). If you have an official version, then I'd envy you, except I'll be getting my version in 3 hours, 3 minutes, & 1 second

Yes, it's the official version! I would never get a pirated one, I've had terrible experiences with those, like crappy image, horrible sound, and errors in the translation and subtitles. If I had known it was pirated, I would have waited until friday. I guess they already had it and didn't mind put it up for sale.
But anyway, I'm glad.
