Where can I buy VCDs? Is there any difference in prices between shops?
Most Asian (“Chinatown”) video shops will usually have at least a few HK VCDs in stock. Online, almost all HK video stores will also have VCDs; check my links page for a listing. As for prices, Hong Kong-based sites like YesAsia have lower prices for the VCDs but often high shipping charges, while the reverse is true for US-based sites like Poker Industries. Physical stores in the same area usually have roughly the same prices, though individual store owners may sometimes cut a deal (i.e., if you are buying lots of VCDs at once, they may knock a few bucks off the total). Street vendors have the cheapest prices, but the quality of their product is always suspect, and there’s really no way to return any defective discs.
