Is this true or not?

Some companies (US Manga Corps/Central Park Media in particular, occasionally others) have sent R0 / All Region labeled disks instead of R1's... I've received R0 Record of Lodoss Wars from Best Buy, among a few others, plus several R0's I've received from Right Stuf... along with the most recently Spirit Warrior & Grappler Baki R0 from Deep Discount. All those companies are legitimate R1 companies who clearly state they only sell R1's.

So I questioned Right Stuf about it... (I mean hey, it's hard to trade something as an R1 when it says ALL Region on it!) their response via email was: "we send out what the manufacturers send us, and these are better suited for all their customers needs"

So all you R1 fans might want to start checking your DVD cases...

The cases say Region 0, right? You should be okay trading/selling them since 0 is an official Region.

My copy of Hard Boiled by Tartan Video (a UK company specialising in Asian cinema) is R0 and the Tartan Ring trilogy boxset I used to have contained a R0 Ring, but R2 versions of Ring 2 and Ring 0.

Of course, if these places were selling them as R1s then, I suppose, you have cause for complaint.
