I need some help from someone who has made this mistake before, or can help me not make the mistake myself by telling me these don't look like their authentic ones they own (or that they do look the same). I've searched this forum and Google, and haven't found any mentions of anything like this, and so I'm hesitant. All I can find is this rather good video on YouTube specific to the blu-rays, but it still doesn't help very much in my situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaEWOC1sBe0
First thing's first... is it normal for the Part 05 DVD spine to be so much different from the other ones? There are a ton of listings on ebay that look like this. Every one of these pictures is from a different seller's ad.
Are these authentic? Or are they bootlegs? Either way, I am not sure I can stand having them on display in my collection if they look THAT different. It may be worth going with Blu-Rays just to not have that big of an error bothering me every time I look.
Second, is it worth buying the Blu-Rays over the DVDs, when buying an entire set of Blu-Rays is over twice the cost of buying the entire set of DVDs? I'm not a very good DVD nerd, so I don't know if the quality of a DVD will truly look that much worse than the quality of a Blu-Ray when playing it through my Blu-Ray player (that can upscale DVDs) on a rather reasonably sized 4K TV that is just 43". I imagine the quality difference would be notable on a 65" TV, but I just don't know. I already know I dislike the first two sagas of Super, so the idea of paying a lot for them bugs me lol.
Third... it appears the only set of Blu-Rays I found on ebay is a mix of bootleg Blu-Rays and authentic Blu-Rays, based on the YouTube video I linked to above. Take note that the cutout for the UPC barcode is HUGE on the first 5. Buyer beware I guess.
