Condition: brand new, still sealed in standard jewel case as shown. No cutouts. (pics show both front and back covers.) Description: A great, scary, Michael Jackson dance movie which, unlike Thriller, many people haven't seen in the US, so it's a chance to see Michael in top form. Based on a concept by Michael Jackson and Stephen King. Think "Thriller" part II. This hard to find item was made by Sony Asia. It is called a "VCD" (Video CD) which means it is a CD that also plays video (explained in more detail below.) This will play on almost all DVD players worldwide, and almost all computers. We have now sold hundreds of these and only a handful of people have had an incompatible DVD player. This item is ONLY available in this VCD format, or in the old VHS videotape format. They were never made on DVD. They actually came out back in 1997, before DVD's were even made, so they were never meant to be played on a DVD player. Lucky for us, almost all DVD players have the ability to also read VCD's, so we can see Michael in action once again! We purchase ours directly from a large reputable wholesaler who imports them from Asia, and we are a trusted seller with 11 years experience on ebay and very reliable feedback. You can scroll through our feedback and see literally hundreds of ebayers who left great feedback for this exact same item. We ship from sunny South Florida and there is no way anyone from outside the US can get this to US customers faster than we can using standard mail. (We also have the ability to have it shipped directly from California if you live on the west coast.) I finally got to watch one of these, and really enjoyed it. This was not the biggest hit in the US, and I'm convinced it was underrated and underappreciated at the time it came out. The first thing that struck me was that he was a really good actor. I'd forgotten that. Then you are treated to original music, dance routines - when Michael is confronted by an angry mob, he single-handedly conjures up some ghoulish back-up dancers and shows them what's what. (Understatement!) You also see a bit of behind-the-scenes footage (make-up, etc.) during the fairly long closing credits sequence. There was one part that is now pretty poignant in light of his death - I'm sure you'll know just what I mean when you see it, but I don't want to give it away. As an MJ fan who didn't follow him quite so closely after the mid-90's, this was a real treat for me, and something I had missed back when it came out. Rest in peace, Michael. You were brilliant. What is a VCD? A LOT of people have been asking me about this, so I thought I'd try to explain it right here for everyone as best I can. VCD means "Video CD." These never gained popularity in the US. They were more popular in Asia. They actually had "VCD players" in Asia. The discs could also be played on computers. "Ghosts" was first released in 1997, just before DVD's came out. VHS tapes dominated the US market, so when "Ghosts" came out, they made it only on VHS in the USA, and they made it on VCD for the Asian markets. The picture quality of a VCD is more comparable to a VHS than to a modern DVD. It is not "digital" or "hi-def," which is one of the main differences between a VCD and a DVD. As it happens, almost all modern DVD players are able to read and play VCD's. (Yay!) But not 100% of them can do it, so you should know that before you buy (no matter from whom you buy it - if they are "the real thing" then they are all the same. They are only made by one company, so anyone selling the real thing is selling the same thing.) As a backup, if it doesn't work on your DVD player, you can almost certainly play it on your computer. (You will have to manually open "Windows Media Player" because it will not start automatically.) Based on what I have heard from some customers, it seems a Mac computer is the only one that will not be able to play it. If it does not play on your DVD player, that does not mean it is defective. That means you just happen to have the kind of DVD player that can't read a VCD. Try it on every DVD player in your home (and maybe your neighbor's!) or on your computer just to see this great movie, and you can always get a new DVD player down the road - some of them cost less than this VCD. Also, if you play it on your computer, there are ways to then view it on your TV using the computer as a DVD player. Again, I have to state that just for the very few who don't have the kind of DVD player that can read a VCD. Literally 99% of the hundreds of people who bought this from us had no problem. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask before you make your purchase. We will be glad to explain anything about this disc.
