If you are disappointed if you can't find a new movie a day after it is released in theatres stateside. Impressive. They deserve it, don't get me wrong. I find this fascinating, though. Logistical supply chain management must be pretty decent if they can get DVDs of movies out there that quickly.

Logistical supply chain management has nothing to do with it. These are bootleg, sometimes camcorder copies. Honest Omar's Hadji Mart DVD Emporium.

No, no, no... think "Asian movie piracy". Notice the earlier joke about how $5 seems a little steep for a DVD, especially if it only has one movie on it? Any new movie release is available in quick pirated version on the streets of Hong Kong within a few days... thence probably to Dubai and Baghdad.

Yeah,
DVD's over there = one day after release stateside.
Voter registration cards = 6 months.

This is how it is;
If the movie is out in the theaters, the copy you get at the hadji marts will have been filmed with a camera over someones shoulder inside the theater. You can hear everyone talking, coughing, eating their chips - whatever. More often than not the quality is very poor.
When the movie is out in the stores, 3 to 5 movies will be copied to a DVD disk. These single disks with multiple movies will sell for around five dollars in the stalls. The quality is sometimes surprisingly good.
Obviously copyright laws are non-existent in these here parts.
The software deals are absolutely incredible.

Think "bootleg." ;-)

There's an even chance that the source of the dvd's is native.
