DVDs in Seoul
 

Are DVDs much cheaper to buy in Seoul than in Europe or the States? If so, where's a good place to buy them? Tower Records? Is the biggest one in Kangnam-gu or Seocho-gu?

Is this a 'read btwn the lines' post for bootleg dvd?

If not, then answer is no, buy them stateside.

I find them cheaper in the US than Europe or Korea for that matter. But then there's the Region 1 issues and etc.

No, no. I'm looking to buy legal versions. I have a region-free player and just thought they might be cheaper (like in Hong Kong).

Yongsan Electronics Market
 

Near Yongsan Electronics Market there are outdoor vendors selling new DVDs. Prices on new releases are not incredibly cheap or anything, but they are a bit lower than stateside, and you may be able to bargain if you are buying a bunch of discs.

More interesting to me were the vendors with tables full of what I take to be remainders; I found lots of half-forgotten movies and lots of concert DVDs for three or four bucks (US) apiece. Lots of Japanese animation, too, if that's what you are into.
