1) Club X's prices are obscene. Even their exchange prices are obscene. It costs more to exchange a "gold" disc than you'll pay one of the better online stores for a brand-new disc.

2) There's a number of smaller stores in the CBD. There's at least three sets of linked stores, with 2-3 each. Pirated discs are rife in at least two of them, and the prices on the pirated discs range from $20 low end to the stores selling them for the same $50-65 that real discs are selling for. When you can get a new, real disc (of your choice) for US$20 (about $24-26, before postage) do you really want to be paying $20 for a DVD-R?

3) Renting x-rated is illegal here. Actually, selling them in stores is as well, but the relevent authorities turn a blind eye. Though almost nothing sold openly is actually rated by the OFLC, so it's not actually X, it's unrated. It's technically illegal to sell films that haven't been rated locally, even if it's a Disney movie.

4) You can rent in New Zealand. That's not real useful to us in Melb, though.

My personal recommendation would be Adult DVD Today. They're part of the ADT kickbacks scheme, offer coupons and sales, they ship very fast, and the items arrive very quickly, usually in less than a week.

I haven't used any other stores in a long time.

I've found a newsagency in Melb CBD that sells pirated DVDs for $10 each, or 3 for $15. Plus you can swap them over for $5 each - whihc is as good as renting in my book.

It's obviously illegal on numerous accounts, but there's little opportunity outside of the ACT to buy cheap porn. So I manage to live the with guilt.

The range is pretty good and seems to get updated regularly. I haven't had any problems with quality yet....

Let me know if you want more information, about where they are etc

Thanks!

They're not illegal to own. Not illegal to import for your own use. Not illegal to order from interstate.

They're just illegal to sell locally.

I have been to the SexyLand store on the M1 (on the way to the airport) a few times. They're completely legit, but a bit expensive. Around $50 for a new DVD and about half that for a swap over.

The thing that keeps me going back there is that they have a big range, and the girls that work behind the counter are quite attractive. They have also recently added a GGG section, of which I'm a big fan.

Hope that is helpful.

Cheers

ps - excuse my ignorance, but what does BTS mean?

I'm still on the hunt for the best stuff. Are there any good non-chain stores in the outer suburbs? Is there some kind of smut central? I know there's random stuff in St Kilda, but that's inner city.

Solution? Get yourself a Debit Card (ATM card with Visa function, but it can only use your available funds, so no debts) and ADT your discs.

Trust me, young Padawan. I've been on the same quest in the past and the answer which you seek does not exist. Search your feelings, you know it to be true....

thanks again.

there should be a JB Hi-Fi for adults.

Most of the movies I'm interested in I've seen on the shelves, but the exorbitant prices are a deterent. If the dvd's were $20 each, I would buy several a month.

I have a house in Perth as my wife is Aus and I lived in WA for years, we moved to UK because of my work.

I have a PayMate account aswell. (Aus PayPal like.)

Any interests/suggestions?... I'd like to help as much as I could.

[Link]

there is a list of banned movies that is linked somewhere on this forum, but i can't find it atm.

The interesting thing is, the titles from the bigger companies that put out the better products are more expensive, so the scale is proportionate to the quality of the film. I.E. generic company film = $25. Evil Empire film = $45, approx.

Check it out and let me know if I made a good find or not.

i've been taking advantage of this, as i am cheap, and i don't know if i'll be able to check out that online sale thing. hmm... MAYBE...
