I'm looking for a place to rent authentic DVDs movies from HK and mainland China. Does anyone here know of a place in the GVRD? Thanks!

There are a whole bunch of TVB vendors in GVR. Only ones I know are in Richmond; there's one 2nd floor richmond public market, there's one on the small plaza on alexander, and there's one in the Hon's plaza.

Do they have the latest releases on DVDs? Someone once told me there is a place at the Pacific Plaza and I went exploring there earlier today and I can't find it. The only stores I found was selling DVDs. Can you give me the name of the places so that I can locate the addresses and the phone numbers?

Guys, I need some answers here!!!

To Emoe,

I went to that place and their selection is really limited. Anything pass 2002 and it's not likely you'll find them. The employee told me that the other day and I was a bit disappointed, but they do have new releases.

Which one did you go to?

I'm not really sure on new releases, maybe it's universal, because I notice that most of the TVB shows are aired here a few years after it's release in China. So the limitedness might just be due to inport/export. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help :( I haven't actually rented or bought anything for a couple of years. And as far as other locations go, I'm not really sure, but I will take a guess, and say that there could be a newer store in Aberdeen(?) Center, since the mall just opened a few months(?) back.

ugh, I should really go out more :!:

I went to the one in Richmond Public Market. The one at the place near Hon's doesn't appear to be a rental place although I didn't go in and ask. It looked more like a place that sells video and audio media.
