Does anyone know of any B&M stores that sell Asian and other Import DVDs in Houston, TX? I could look in the different asian districts but I am not sure were to look. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx for the info. I'll stop by this weekend.

Great list candyrocket...

Also, you can try the shopping center with the Welcome Supermarket in it (diho square)...it's on bellaire between beltway 8 and gessner...Right next to a place called Jungle cafe there is a store that sells a ton of chinese cd's, dvd's, and vcd's...only drawback is that their prices for movies are pretty high....

Went to Phuong My Laser Video on saturday and bought Infernal Affairs 1 for $18 even. They had a very large Kareoke DVD selection, I didn't know asian people liked kareoke that much.

Was it the DTS version?....How big is their dvd selection? What other films did they have?

LOL! Like it? No, it's more like an obsession with some. I don't know if it's now more or less popular than years back... But when I was in China in 1994, we couldn't escape from karaoke until we got into the more remote areas... but even in the larger cities, it's wasn't at every single place.
Myself, I have a very hard time listening to karaoke because a great many people who do it are tone deaf And only rarely have I been caught doing karaoke... (toot my horn for a minute) -I don't often do it as it seems to only lead to requests for me to do it more often. People used to request/cajole/plead that I sing when I would show up at various parties. (not cool) -If I'm going to sing, I'd rather do it because I'm inspired to... Not because you want me to, or want to show your friends that I sing well... or whatever...
Karaoke can be fun with the right group/crowd... but I think my musical background often makes me far too critical of something I might otherwise enjoy.

okay, back on topic- $18 for Infernal Affairs? That sounds like a pretty good price for an import. I wish my city was big enough to support some places like that.

Cheers,
Gabe

It was the 2 disk DTS version with 2 different endings for $18.00. From what I saw (didn't have alot of time to look around) they had Infernal Affairs 2, The Twins Effects, Hero, Shaolin Soccer, I guess the most popular DVDs. Also a large selection of VCDs. I guess just call and see if they have the DVD you are looking for if it is a specific one. They must include tax on the box price, because the box said $18.00 and that is all I had to pay, no extra tax.

Aslo, they have another location Downtown on Milam.

Pretty good price for getting your DVDs ASAP instead of waiting 7-10 days via airmail.

I'll have to swing by there sometime this week.
