"I dont get it. Why purchase bulky DVDs when you can download just about anything for FREE (STILL)."

Two reasons:

1.) It's hard for me to find the shows and movies I want with Chinese subtitles on-line.

2.) You save space on your hard drive. I take lots of pictures and already have lots of movies and don't want to waste any more space. I'd rather just have the DVDs.

Also, sometimes when I go to download a movie my mind goes blank but when I go through a shop and can actually see shows and movies I know what I want to see.

This thread is hilarious.

Also, can someone tell me what the Chinese characters for 'Yuan Tong Bei Lu' are?

Anyone know if these shops are still around?
