It's weird that they would have it in stock, I only thought that the bootleggers would have it, amazon should also try to do this same thing to the bootleg rurouni kenshin boxsets lurking about.

It's about time. I submitted the name change a week ago. It was obvious normal channels weren't getting anywhere, but the 'update product info' link goes through pretty minimal human checking.

**shakes head sadly**

It really is so sad that it is laughable.

Amazon, according to other threads concerning this, has been told repeatedly that this is a bootleg product. It even says so on the reviews.

What this says is that corporate profits are more important than what is right.

What in the hell!? They know it is a bootleg now but they are still trying to sell it? So they now openly support illegitimate products?

Ah, ok this explains it, they probably don't know about it yet then.

Um, the first review about this product was back in December 2006. So you can't tell me that they don't know by now.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B000KF0W3A/ref=cm_rev_prev/103-1719388-1285452?ie=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=-SubmissionDate&n=130&s=dvd&customer-reviews.start=1

And as you can tell, one of the latest comments was by our own Mohawk52 and the person below that one quoted ANN!

I meant they don't know about the name change yet. I'm pretty sure they are aware of the product but are being conveniently ignorant until they sell enough to at least make up for what they spent on it. Rolling Eyes
