For new release of blockbuster movies, such as King Kong, Fearless, the price is SGD 26.90. Not cheap for a disc. Singapore has done a fantastic job on anti piracy. The second-hand or used DVD circulating market is very limited, not like in US, Ebay, Amazon and lots of local stores to buy/sell used DVD. DVD rental is also not well adopted.
It faces the challenge from the much bigger and more loose DVD market in Malaysia and China. The price there is much cheaper, and easy access to good quality DVD piracy copy. Travellers may sneak in some cheap DVD. Even the DVD/CD stores see the profit. Don't know how they bring in the DVD/CD released in China market. Usually the price is half than its Singapore release. Don't worry, not the latest release. This part is still well protected.
