If you just go to your friendly neighborhood Chinatown you can find tons of dvds before they're released in North America and cheeper. They're often legit, and despite the Chinese characters all over the cover will be in English and subtitle free. I got Bourne Supremacy a couple weeks before it came out and it's excellent...And Chinese movies, like Hero, are usually released way in advance in China, I got the Hero DVD before it was out in Theatres here!
