Those are bootlegs. Anything you see from Hong Kong, China, or Taiwan, is a 3-disc "complete box set," and is $10 is a bootleg.

Those are bootlegs. Typical DVDs, even in japan, dont hold more then 4-5 episodes, otherwise they're sacrificing audio/video quality, and the amount of DVDs to sell

Especially in Japan. I was there for a short time a few years ago, and visited a few video stores. The typical anime DVD contained three episodes, and cost 5800 yen (approximately US$50). If you were unlucky, it would be two episodes per disc, or if you were lucky, four or five.

Aura and Skeith are the two obvious connections that were in the original four games. Sora pops in too. Also the infamous "omg someone went into a coma while playing The World-- we must find out why" plot is dominant.

not what i meant, but thank's.

what i meant was that the name of the anime is root's and the anime would pressumably show, the 'root's' so to speak of the twilight brigade and all that.

is there anything of this nature which relate's sign to the game's?

You're going to have to make it more clear next time. We don't know what Roots will have in regards to connections. However there are obvious links already. Haseo and Ovan appear in the anime and games. Shino's comatose state will probably be explained more in the anime. It's almost like you know the answer to your question, but state it anyways. :D Give yourself more credit. Roots takes place before the games according to the image timeline (the image is floating around somewhere). The Twilight Brigade which consists of Haseo, Ovan, and Shino (possibly other unannounced characters) will definately be part of the whole plot.

The OLD games take place after //sign. So it's in the same boat as the //GU games. Like I said before, Aura was present in both //sign and the games. The phases were also somewhat present in //sign and dominant in the games. I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for, but there are connections. Roots will seem to have more of a flow into the games. Sign and the OLD games "on the whole" were separate entities.
