Beware of pirated Blue-ray disc, Fake Blu-ray disc

Recently there's a fake or pirated blu-ray disc came out in the market. There're few sellers selling pirated blu-ray at very cheap price and few buyers bought them without knowing that it's fake.
There're 2 types of packages.
1 It's in blu-ray box, just the disc inside is a DVD not blu-ray
2. It's in the DVD box but has a blu-ray logo on top ( Picture shown below)
How to spot fake:
The pacakge and everything is exactly the same as blu-ray but the disc is not. The disc is DVD not blue-ray. the quality is of course better than normaly DVD buttotally notblu-ray



How to avoid:
To make sure that you buy a ligitimate blu-ray:
- Do research on particular movie to see if there's a blu-ray format for it. for example check on Amazon.ge
- Check the price, if it's too cheap then it could be fake. the normal blu-ray disc cost around $17-20 USD. I saw few sellers selling them for 6-9 USD for brand new blu-ray. this is totally impossible.
- At the moment, fake blu-ray will play on normal DVD player, if your blu-ray disc plays on normal DVD player then it's fake
Hope this help !
