Hey guys!

Is there anywhere in the city where I can buy original DVDs of Western recent releases that will play on region 2 DVD players? I know of places to get decent copies, but I'm looking for originals!

I think you might best either to download the films if possible or to buy from outside the country as it would seem that pirate DVD's and CD's are saturated within Vietnam its near enough impossible to find an original.

Also, there are DVD stores at many supermarkets. But take notes that 99% of the DVD/Blu-ray in Vietnam are pirated copies. That means you will be able to buy movies at a very cheap price, but they are illegal copies and as a result, you won't be able to bring them through the customs at the airport.
