Blu Rays In Phuket

[sil]

A friend tells me that he can get Blu Ray discs in Bangkok for 150 Baht. Last time I was there normal dvds were about 100 Baht, so Phuket was cheaper for those. My quetion is - can you get Blu Rays anywhere in Phuket? Another friend says she asked along the sea front road in Patong and they said they didn't know what she was talking about. Any improvement on this?

You will not find blu ray disks for 150 baht, you may find some disks claiming to be bluray for that though.

In Pattaya I found some Blu-Ray disks. The box looked perfect and was sealed etc but they were very cheap. So cheap that I asked the seller if they were real Blu-Ray. He said "Yes, and you can play them in any DVD player!"

I explained to him that real Blu-Ray cannot be played in a DVD but he insisted they were real. After 10 mins of arguing he admitted that they were "Real Copies!"

They have Blurays at the bookshop next to the big sports store on 3nd floor of Central Festival

The discussion of where to buy pirated goods is against our forum rules and not allowed. Please keep the discussion to where to buy legitimate Blue Ray disks and DVDs.

Many places now sell Blu Ray players, but unfortunately when you ask the question of where to buy the discs it's inevitably met by blank looks! You might get one or two discs as a freebie when buying a player (typically Spiderman 2 - spectacular in blu ray on a large LCD TV).

Really, it's like buying a high definition LCD TV, but there's no HD broadcasts here, and you can't get HD DVD's. There are other ways of course, but as a Mod pointed out, not for discussion here.

I have seen a few Blue Ray titles for sale in B2S book store in Central and as previously mentioned Games Never Dried 3rd floor Central
