I've got a conscience when it comes to piracy. Every kind of media I acquire I do legally. I'm not saying that people who bittorrent stuff are evil or anything, but I have some ethics when it comes to the issue.

Anyway, I also like movies. In the USA, I had Netflix. It was great. In Korea, of course, such a thing doesn't exist. I could buy movies through iTunes, but at $10-$15 a pop it adds up quick. Do I have any alternatives?

rent them from the DVD shop if there is one in your neighborhood.

Find the discount places for older movies (yongsan, technomart and Kyobo bookstore are good options)

Just buy or rent DVD's wherever DVD's are sold or rented. Just like in America. Smile Not too sure what you want exactly...

All I've got is my 360, so I have no way to play Korea region DVDs.

You could also go to the movie theater...and its much cheaper than back home. However, you'll have to endure the smell of dried squid (gad its bad smelling shiit!)

and cbclark has got it right. If you're willing to pay top-dollar for proper DVDs you should have no problem dishing out for a cheapo Korean DVD player. Just make sure it's not a knock off brand or you'll be supporting piracy and terrorism Shocked
