I agree! I know the Asian imported Chinese movies are expensive (even if you buy it in Hong Kong), but any title originated from the US, should be 'normal' priced, otherwise, it's probably pirated.

Granted, there may be rare cases where a title is released in a certain region but not another, but come on, the US has the biggest market and it'd be silly not to release there first!

I've also heard of friends having a Japanese 'Titanic' DVD title...but the quality is very poor. So my guess is that it's just a video transfer and its illegal, because we know Mr Cameron definitely hasn't decide to release Titanic on DVD yet!
