The big DVD store in Dong Men is now selling HD and Blue Ray DVDs. There’s a whole row of Blue Ray DVDs. In fact, they’re starting to jam the shelves tighter than ever before. I guess business is good and the periodic crackdowns are just a mere nuisance. The HD and Blue Ray DVDs are the same price as the regular DVDs – 10RMB, about $1.38. Of course, that’s double the street rate because you’re ostensibly paying for better quality and better packaging. However, they’re quality has been pretty bad lately; maybe one in four DVDs end up hanging somewhere in the movie. They’ll at least let you bring them back and pick out a new copy of the same movie. Or, if the current movie isn’t in stock (they move the stock often, especially in music and old movies), you can pick a different movie. But, getting your money back…don’t even try.
