Hi all. I've just bought these via an Amazon reseller – I'm in the UK, which doesn't get Castle released locally. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure the discs sent to me are pirated. If I'm buying a set I want to know that it's supporting the show.

The seller (while willing, even anxious, to refund me) is still claiming they're legit, so I was hoping that some kind Castellan with a definitely-legit set could confirm a couple of details for me so that I can warn off other people. This is probably easier for people who watch on a PC.

1. What are the discs called (i.e. what name is shown for the DVD drive in Windows Explorer while they're inserted)? Mine are all called "NEW", which I've never seen on commercial releases before.

2. In the Properties for the disc (right-click, Properties, General tab) what number do you see for Capacity? I'm seeing 4.35GB, i.e. DVD5, which I've never EVER seen for a commercial release.

The physical stuff is impeccable – including cardboard sleeve with embossing, shrinkwrap with sticker, lettering on the DVD inner ring etc – which is the only reason this wasn't a no-brainer for me.

That's about what I expected; suspicions confirmed. Thank you very much for taking the time to check that.

Oh, it's not about paying less – buying direct from Amazon.com would actually be cheaper, but they don't accept non-US credit cards, so resellers are the only game in town.

Pre-submit update: whoa, looks like Amazon.com do now accept foreign orders. I'm sure they didn't use to. Anyhow, I've ordered a new set from there, and the dubious seller seems very keen to refund me for the previous set, so the only question left is whether to report them to the Amazonian powers-that-be.

Thanks again!
