Has anyone shop from yesasia in here???? For each CD theres like 3 versions HK TW CH Why is the China Version of the CD cheaper then the HK and TW version? It's like almost 40% cheaper why is that? the only difference between the versions is traditional and simplified chinese characters.
maybe the china version comes with less stuff ? Ive only bought HK versions from yesasia so cant say what the difference is
Chinese version is considered by many fans as "less authentic" as the printing quality is incomparable to the Hong Kong and Taiwan version. And of course it is cheaper! Printing in China is so much cheaper, and people will not be able to afford it if it's 100HKD for a CD. IMHO, I would think the CN version of the CD... may as well get a pirated version
China version cd is crap on the quality and rubblish packaging. I bought them once then I decide not to get anymore of those. I perfer buying the HK version, they are just much much better in everything.
Most stuff out of HK or Taiwan are bootlegs, simple as that. That's not to say there are illegal though. Alot of copyright laws are non-existant or easily bypassed over there. Point is, you'll usually get inferior prints/labels, and sometimes the pressing itself is bad. I've gotten many things of yesasia.com, and I'm happy to say that their service is excellent!
I buy Hk versions but some china versions are exactly the same.. but they just have a sticker over it meaning sale in PRC (exc HK, TW, marcow)..... as the price to them is expensive but to us is cheap....... china versions booklets are most of the time not perfect like hk version (rip... bent...etc)
And those are all crappy bootlegs... -nono Cheap CDs are better bought off Ebay. If you get lucky maybe you can find it in the first place, then it being an authentic one and in new/great condition. Good luck.
