thank you contraband, i actually realized theres a scratch off surface in the back with a code and on BD's website it validates or invalidates the code, both my codes were valid, then i typed in a random code and it said it was invalid so i believe I'm gtg!
yea BD does have many mixed reviews, myself personally have ran them once with great results...but of course we've all heard about fakes, its from a legit source...they look gtg to me i just wanted some other opinions hopefully confirming that i should feel confident.
