So I've decided to make some TVB series dvd purchases, and I was looking around for sites that sell them. I actually wanted to purchase newer series like The Price of Greed, Heart of Greed, and The Brink of Law but I can't seem to find them ones that is playable in the US so I'm forced to go once again to the somewhat pricey, but trustworthy YesAsia.com site.
Nonetheless, here are some English sites I found that sells TVB dvds. I am not affiliated with any of these vendors, and I personally have only ordered from Yesasia.com from the list. If you do end up purchasing with them, make sure you read the policies and faqs, and also check the region & language of the dvds. And shop smart, always browse around for the best prices/offers before settling. I just want to share what I have found so other TVB fans who wants to make DVD purchases have other options.
1. YesAsia.com
2. Five Star Laser Co
3. Cinemashops.com
4. DVDAsian.com
5. Soasianstyle.com
6. Play-Asia.com
7. Sensasian.com
8. Malmusic.com
9. Gooshow.com
10.Coolwin-video.com

11.Ihkmusic.com
And from what I read from an SPCNET forum, Tai Seng and TVB are two distributors of the dvds. Supposely the TVB covers for the dvds look better than the Taiseng ones. To get the TVB ones from Yesasia, one has to type "global" instead of the "us" in the website address.More info at this site: SPCNET: TVB DVDS
If you have made purchases at these sites and could give a review of them, please leave a comment. Or if you know of other sites, please comment also. Thanks.

do you know where i can buy heart of greed on dvd? i've looked on all of the sites listed, but i cant seem to find it
As for now, it seems like the sites I have listed only have Region 3 dvds for Heart of Greed. If I were you, maybe I would try looking at EBay or wait a year or two so that TVB or Tai Seng would release them onto Yesasia or other dvd selling sites, and then you could get it then.
Sites with Heart of Greed DVDs:
Playasia:
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-ai-49-en-15-heart+of+greed-70-21zm.html
It is Region 3.
Sensasian.com:
http://sensasian.com/product.php/en/V15188-D/Heart_Of_Greed_(TVB_TV_Series)_%5BSpecial_Edition%5D/
It is Region 3
This is from malmusic.com:
http://www.malmusic.com/detail.asp?Product_id=DVD070046&txtParam=&txtCat=heart%20of%20greed&prev=&lang=E
It is region 3.
I believe Region 3 means the dvd can only play on dvd players that are only playable in Asian countries, so unless you have a dvd player that is Region 3 playable, you shouldn't get Region 3 dvds.
Here is a YesAsia page on the types of region that might help you understand more:

Well, good luck and if you found a good site to buy dvds, please come back and share with me.
If you still have any other questions, please leave another comment or email me at jadedreams@gmail.com
I'll try my best to answer.
You can also get TVB DVDs (most new releases with English subtitles) from Coolwin-Video. http://www.coolwin-video.com I have bought from them and they are very helpful.
chris, thank you for sharing that site. I will update that site in my list.
Great offers like 'Save up to 15% on TVB titles DVDs' provided by Yes Asia coupon codes.....!

I've purchased from Sensasian.com before....I bought several VCDs/DVDs because it was a lot cheaper than Yesasia. I live in the United States...and it took almost two months before I got my stuff...but that was expected...since they are located in Malaysia I think? Just a warning...one of the items I purchased was unavailable and they never refunded me. I emailed them and told them that I was never refunded...and they told me that they did...and I need to check with my credit card company. When I got my statement...they still charged me for the unavailable item. So I contacted them again...and they told me the money was already refunded back into my credit card...and I should check again. This was about a year or so ago...but still no refund...I pretty much gave up. Yesasia is probably the most reliable site....and recently...the prices have dropped....so I've purchased a lot of TVD DVDs from them =)
so is yesasia indeed a dependable place to buy tvb dvds? also how long does it usually take to ship to the u.s. for yesasia??
yes, YesAsia is a very safe to purchase DVDs. I think it takes about 2-3 weeks but it should be able to let you track after you place order.
I have also bought from Five Star Laser. I got it pretty quickly, and the dvds were good, but I find that the packaging (the plastic insides that holds the dvd center in place) were broken. If you don't mind that, then overall it's not too bad.
I think Yesasia may take a little longer now....because they ship from HK. They also no longer provide tracking number. However, they do send you a notice when the item has been shipped...and it usually arrives within a week. It also really depends if ur order is in stock. I've ordered something that they listed as "Searching from suppliers" and it took almost two months before the order was shipped.
Jadedreams: Does Five Star Laser sell original DVDS (released by Tai Seng).
I am not too sure whether the dvds from Five Star Laser are originals. I only know they have one dvd per episode for each serie. If there is a way to check, let me know and I can check.
I would request you to please release the DVDs of following shows of
TVB in HINDI (INDIAN LANGUAGE). In india the series have huge fan
following since it was telecasted on a tv channel 'HOME TV'. But after
the channel went off, since then we are desperately trying to have it
again in hindi.
FOLLOWING ARE THE SHOWS LISTED :
1) The Blood Stained Intrigue
2) The Legend of The Condor Heroes 1983
3) Land of The Condors
4) The Other Side of The Horizon
5) The Hunters Prey
6) Brother Under The Skin
7) The Zu Mountain Saga
PLEASE HELP US AND LET US KNOW YOUR CONDITIONS. HOPE YOU WILL REPLY.
In response to India's post:
I am not sure I can help you. I am not at all familiar with TVB series in Hindi. The only suggestion I have would be to get the TVB series dvd with subtitles. Otherwise, you can contact the station that ran the TVB show to see whether they can help you. Sorry, not much of help here.
I have DVD BLOOD STAINED INTRIGUE with ENGLISH DUB.

Do you know a website where I can purchase Dragon Love (Cantonese TVB Drama) where they ship to the U.S.?
I almost never comment, but i did some searching and
wound up here "TVB series dvds". And I do have 2 questions for you if
it's allright. Could it be only me or does it look like some of the comments look like they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your communal pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
