Oh man chinese bootlegs are such a gamble. They only cost 5 or 10 RMB (about a dollar) and they are all that is sold: no one even tries to sell shit in china so you can’t buy foreign movies/games legit.

For movies you are taking the risk that you will get English in an american film. Usually you do but once I got some american movie with italian overdubs and chinese subtitles. Pissoff.

For games it’s a flip of the coin whether it works or not. But usually they include an extra dvd or two full of random other games. The fun itself is seeing what you’re actually buying when you buy something. For some reason, counterstrike is always some other (zombie) game and the chinese think they love counterstrike but they have never played it.

My bioshock 2 worked and I still haven’t checked out the bonus disks so I’m pretty chuffed.
