Chicago is great, but I still love my Toronto better. Chicago has a load of stores. I spent about $300 in that place. Too bad I didn't have more than that... but... I went to the VIRGIN MEGASTORE. I didn't know they even sold XXX DVDs, so I bought ASS WORSHIP 2 there. They had no Rosebud DVDs, though. Every DVD is $29.95! I thought of Lex the Impaler 2 but I was gonna wait for it. Space Invaders was a best-seller in the Evil Angel DVD department besides Ass Worship 1 & 2 & Lex the Impaler 1. But I wanna see SI first. It looks nasty, but anyway...

Chicago's Chinatown didn't have much, the females were nice. very nice & I bought a shit-load of Santana, Pink, Jacky Cheung CDs. I also bought some vinyls from Michael Franks, Alexander O'Neal (this guy is hard to find), The Time, etc...

Anyway, I came back loaded. it's a great place. Virgin Megastore even had their own condoms & I bought some!

This place is excellent. The Cheesecake Factory is great along with Vong's Thai Kitchen. Most things close late & have 2-3 floors. They have 2 Borders Book stores! It's great!


I love Chicago, Virgin Megastore is incredible, but CD prices are increasing. This wouldn't happen if not for people making piracy CDs & burning CDs a lot. Shakira's new Laundry Service CD is 18.99. It's ridiculous.

Are you from Toronto, Victorio?

I live there, and there is everything you can imagine, but I find buying porn is quite a struggle.

The prices are obscene, the videos are edited by the Review Board, and it's very difficult to find certain titles (ie: Evil Angel).

CD prices are CRAZY in the States. Like the Shakira you mentioned, $18.99 US? You can get that here in Toronto for about $14.99 CAN. I never buy CDs or DVDs (not adult) in the US, it's way too much money.

I am in Toronto quite a lot on business, and I have to say that 99% of the stores charge astronomical prices for adult DVDs. For example the Virtual Sex titles often sell for more than $70 CAN, however I was lucky enough to find one store right downtown that has a huge selection of DVD all for $30 CAN, not bad at all. The problem is they are months behind as far as new releases, and do not get a lot of very good titles. I find obviously, thatin NYC and LA I can find the new stuff faster and cheaper.

P.S. Toronto is one hell of a great city!

It looks like the Evil Angel problem has been solved regarding availability in the T.O. area.
www.dv-depot.com just got a huge haul of Evil Angel discs in (about 10-12 titles), just spent a bundle on some EA discs. Space Invaderz, Rocco's Initiations #2, #4, Face Dance Obsession, Animal Trainer #8, Rogue Adventures #10, Flesh Hunter #3, Lex The Impaler #2, Fresh Meat #14, all the new stuff just came in stock. YEAH!

I actually look at this from the other angle. There wouldn't be nearly as much CD burning if the CD's weren't so ridoculously priced.

There is no excuse for a CD to cost more than an average DVD.

Then why would you spend $29.95 each for adult DVD's at the Virgin Megastore instead of ordering them from ADT affiliates?

Gold_Member: yeah, I know EXACTLY which store you're talking about. :-)

There's got to be something fishy going on there, though. They sell tapes for $12 CAN. I think he's somehow dubbing copies, but I have no idea how he gets the boxes. The place is a godsend for DVDs. I've gotten tons of Anabolic from him for $30 CAN.

I swear by the Depot. Best damn thing that ever happened in my porno world. I just put in an order for 10 E.A. DVDs. Less than $40 CAN each, that is an AMAZING price.

I have to admit I find the place a little sketchy for the same reason. Sure the DVD prices are excellent, but the tapes are the cheapest I have seen anywhere in North America.
