I have used torrents but some movies I'd like to keep as keepers with all the other extra crap that comes with the legit version.

I tried looking up DVDs in the web sites of Kyobo, Bandi & Luni's, What the Book, with no real luck. It's like the whole country pirates movies, and as such there is no market for movies bought. Kyobo has some DVDs but not as many as I thought.

I would order from Amazon, but I want to keep my region set to Asia, for the machine that I have.

If Amazon sells Asia region DVDs, I'm for that too (but tell me how/where to buy it from their site). Any other online site, like Amazon, is ok too.

And, is there as much selection in Blue Ray? I'd hate to build up a small library and then find out in a few years that DVDs went the way of 8-tracks.

so I edited it out.

Do they sell pirated DVDs anywhere in Seoul like they do in Thailand? You know where you buy a movie for a dollar that's not even out yet.

Yeah, I got some good stuff there. The whole five seasons of "Six Feet Under" was 49,500. Also got the whole of "Band of Brothers" and my all time favourite - - "Goodfellas".

Anyone know where I can get the Brit movies "Quadraphenia", "Scum" and "The Firm" (that's the Brit version with Gary Oldman - not that crappy Tom Cruise thing)?
