The DVDBeaver group has really come to embrace YesAsia.com for their selection of rare titles, expedient shipping, reasonable prices and attentive customer service. We find the biggest issue is actually finding more items in their massive catalogue. Recently we have had numerous email requests for other YesAsia DVD selections (English subtitled or English language) to augment upcoming orders and hence save with bulk shipping. Here are some further choices - often picked for their reasonable price and/or unavailability in any other digital format - hence, at times, DVD technical quality is not a premium levels (please see linked reviews for specifics). If you have any suggestions on products that you have bought and are happy with (or we should avoid), please share them with us and we will add to this listing.
