Bootleg DVD's in Syria?!!! Cheapest DVD's are to be had in Malaysia if you're coming from Australia. About $1.50 each in Chinatown, KL.

yes i know but i am living in london now but i am moving to cairo and just want to know if can get them there and how much
Posted by strangelookingnegro (Member # 151) on :
The answer is NO, you can't. You will have people bring them to you from the far east, or you will get them yourself in the far east when you travel there, if you get them at all.
You can download movies off your own computer if you have the know-how to do that and the equipment to play it afterwards, but that is the best you can do in Cairo that I know about.

You can't buy DVD, but what I do is that I download films from the net with DVD quality which is Divx and play them on the dvd player on the tv, and that's amazing. I have films that are still not at the cinema. Btw I have DSl this why I download films, mp3.....etc.

So this no place in Cairo to buy Pirated DVD's? There has to be a place somewhere?
I got so used to watching DVD's in China.
Salam, Brian

there is, though i can't point you to a specific source, sorry. you just have to know the right guy, etc.
even alpha market in zamalek rents dvds (LE10 or 15) and some of their movies are bootleg copies (usually the ones which haven't yet been released in egyptian cinemas)

Salamalekum,
I am wonder why nobody knows....!
You can go to any bigger mosque on Friday, you wil find the newest games, films, cartoons, software.......for 5 Pounds ! Yesterday my husband bought the game 'shark tale' in 3D. If you buy it original you have to spend 95 Pounds. I couldn't! So I have to buy the black copies, like the most of people. Also there are sold in the egyptian Backstreet markets (sook), watch out for large cartoons with black and white copies of the original CD's. In Maadi go to Fath or Rayen Mosque, at Rayen also on Sundays.
Good Luck
Sara

Maybe he bought some game for 5LE but I'd bet he will NEVER find the movie Shark Tale out there for sale pirated for cheap.

When you find it Brian, let us know where.

Posted by germansara (Member # 5920) on :
Hello, Debbie,
I got both ..... the Sharktail cartoon movie and the shark tale 3D game !!! Each one for only 5 Pounds !
My husband bought them on the lift side of the Mosque Fath after the Fridayprayers.
Sometimes he doesn't have what someone is searching for, then you have to order the title ! Try it, my husband didn't even order them !
We have a box full of cinema cartoon movies.
Just go and watch the salesman next Friday, it's really nice, he has most things you need.
Good luck
Sara

what do you mean by Face DVD? Like you buy the DVD and go home and find that is was not a DVD ??? I f you mean BACKUP coppies , then well, it seems there are leanty of backu copies being distributed arround in cairo, but you can still download anything you like and burn it on your own DVD. I like Bettorent, and DAP, and the proces of blank CD's and DVD's in Egypt is soooooo cheep I cannot belive it, I am creating backups for the backups . mmm and giving it away to my friends ( ofcourse I always asume they have allready buyght the original Copu, nd they just want another backup ) as I did myself
Posted by karim (Member # 3077) on :
Hi,
I am downloading Sharktale now, and I down only Divx quality which is very good. I will go and see the guy at the fath, and how are his cds.
Posted by karim (Member # 3077) on :
Can anyone tell me where is Fath, and Rayan Mosque is.
Posted by germansara (Member # 5920) on :
You will find the Fath mosque in the Street 9 in Maadi. It is the famous street on the metrostations. Move direction 'Hadayek', then you will find the mosque on your right side. To the mosque belongs a islamic hospital.
Good luck

I wonder what customs will make of that lot; they checked every one of my books, tapes, and CDs when I shipped them over here!
Posted by sally (Member # 956) on :
a couple of the electrical shops along 26th july (zamalek) sell bootleg copies under the counter. they aren't that cheap and sometimes the quality is poor. they usually have whats currently on at the cinema or movies which are about to be released
Posted by aussiemat (Member # 6132) on :
thanks again
Posted by LiveItUp (Member # 4811) on :
I had the movie, Shark Tales, 2 months ago, along with LAdder 42, Alexander the Great, Troy, Collarterol, National Treasure, Peter Pan etc. etc. all clear DVD copies bought in Alexandria. WE only paid LE15 each. YES!!!
Posted by germansara (Member # 5920) on :
...and I got last Friday "Boreal Train" knowns also as "Polar Train".....for 5 Pounds... Just now in the cinema !
...Fridays behind Fath-Mosque...
Posted by LiveItUp (Member # 4811) on :
Cool Sara, I saw Polar Express on Xmas Eve past year that was a perfect day for it! Cute movie eh, could of done without the weird ghost guy on top of train. HIH HIH Love those good DVD buys and more importantly the chance to see some current films fast.
Posted by _ (Member # 3567) on :
Please, Brian, let us know if you ran into any problems with customs. If we move next year we will also have a big load of DVDs packed up. I am a huge movie fan!
I heared really bad stories that whole crates or boxes got lost during the shipping process.

Maybe I should start movie cd business. I have so many new films.
Karim
Posted by karim (Member # 3077) on :
Do you guys watch these films on Tv or computer.
Karim
Posted by germansara (Member # 5920) on :
On Computer....... You can get the different versions formated for computer.
Sara
Posted by karim (Member # 3077) on :
when you pay 5 pounds for a cd, then for sure it's not a DVD cd, but just normal cd, beacuse if's a DVD for 5 pounds then how much for just normal VCD 1 pound. You said that you watch it at computer is it on cd player or dvd player.
Karim
Posted by germansara (Member # 5920) on :
They are 'formated', so it works out. 'Difficult and long' games are sometimes offered in a packet of two cd's because the original DVD has more space.
Well, I got very happy with it. Just go there and watch it out
