Hey guys, I am going to Hong Kong real soon and was wondering if anyone knew any good places to pick up some Hong Kong blu-rays? Thanks!

If I were you, I would shop online and then have delivery to your hotel.

No need. I live in HK and have all the answers for cheaper and clearer options. Yesasia and dddhouse have marked up prices compared to actual physical stores not including shipping

The stores I listed have great selection for cheapest in Hong Kong. There are HMVs around town too but they mark up the prices way too high. Good luck, message me if you want a video store guide when you are in town!👍

Wow, awesome, thanks so much! I am traveling with someone, so not sure of our entire plan yet, but this will definitely help! I really appreciate it!

My pleasure! These stores are basically separated into two areas. Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei stores are in walking distance to each other (three buildings) on the Kowloon side of HK. While the other building is in Wan Chai on the HK Island side of HK.

I just heard about the HMV stores in Hong Kong closing. Do you know what the plan is? Will there be long store-closing sales? I think it took a few months for HMV to shut down in Canada.

I'll be in Hong Kong around the middle of March. Will they still be around then?

it doesnt matter. The sales they are having now are for the movies no one wants - bargain bin movies. All the other videos that you do want are not on sale.

That CDW location at Langham was closed a long time ago. It's now replaced by Lego store(which is unlike any other Lego stores in the rest of the world, it's actually worth a visit)

There's a newly opened CDW flagship store in Pioneer Centre, near Prince Edward Station, which is about 10 mins walk from Langham Place.
