Q: Anyone know a good store in Shenzhen to buy "real" DVD's?
Something with a good selection of English movies with Chinese subtitles.
I have only found a few with crappy selections.
Even a store with a good selection of fakes will do fine.
I have never seen any place in China selling real DVD's. I had thought that I had bought some in a walmart once, but they turned out to be even worse copies than the ones I can buy for 5RMB on the street corner.
There is a very limiting censor law in China that limits the number of western movies that can be released for show in the theater and for sale in the DVD shops. You will not find any more then 10 or 15 titles at any one given time in any of the shops that sell reral DVD's.
I am guessing this is the biggest reason that the illegal ones are so much in demand. Mix city has a small shop on the main floor, that would be the Starbicks floor that has some good ones but again very limited.
contact me, i have the " real DVD " available for sharing...
find a SHOP called "FAB"...they do professional music movie products....

I actually bought some the other day at a big "book" store here. They were real, in normal cases like home, and were about 30 rmb each. They worked great. Problem is the selection was the pits.
