well, you can think that parconline is almost like a local store without the physical structure, you can either join his Yahoo e-group and look at the titles available each week or if the title you want isnt on the list you can order it through SMS, e-mail or landland (not sure if he has fax). Within a week or so, it will be delivered right on your doorstep. Menos gasolina pa.  :)

You can also try other DVD sellers here at the Marketplace and you can pre-order DVDs from them as well. I've tried the following and satisfaction guaranteed. great customer service.

Emildjr


havent tried but highly recommended as well.

as far as i know, technically  R1 dvd are not allowed to be sold on local stores, since the authorized here is R3, thats why for the main purpose nagkaroon ng region encoding but you can order R1 dvd's here from our fellow pinoydvd legends ;)

Yup, mostly only Warner, except for Bewitched Seasons 1 and 2 from Sony.

CSI is from Paramount and Lost is from Touchstone/Buena Vista, so I guess you'll need to find other venues to purchase them from.
