fire Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 not so many Chinese fans post in here but still it's alive,well done 灵感thread:D Do you really think there are many Chinese Muse fans on this board (who do not post here)? By the way, do you know where in Hong Kong can I buy non-expensive but original (Muse) CDs and DVDs? Much thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much thanks in advance. i guess all CDs and DVDs in Hong Kong are at same price,HMV,you know:p i dont think Chinese fans can often come up here cos after all this is English forum,it's much more convenient to use Chinese to chat about Muse and stuff so they have no need to be here:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 i guess all CDs and DVDs in Hong Kong are at same price,HMV,you know:p The prices in HMV are unreasonably high. And I can never find the original (= not reprint) Muse cds there! :'( i dont think Chinese fans can often come up here cos after all this is English forum,it's much more convenient to use Chinese to chat about Muse and stuff so they have no need to be here:p I understand. But I love to come up here despite the fact that I am a Chinese. Using English is far more convenient in my opinion.... who would love to translate the band members' names and song names into weird Chinese names? But it may be nice to check out the Chinese forum too. *click on the link to the Chinese forum* (by the way I cannot do not understand simplified characters ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You people are weird! Did you guys call Bellamy "half a piece of rice" (yes in English) when you met them last time? :$By the way, how do you pronounce Bellamy actually?

Meteora.stan Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'm gonna refer to him as half a piece of rice now. but it only makes sense when you say that in Putonghua otherwise he'd thought you're mocking about his height.oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 HMV唔系实价么？ Maybe the price of CDs in HMV is official price, and I know that there are discounts in summer or around Christmas and New Year, etc. But when I checked the price of the same products in the web site in HMV UK it is much lower. But the main limitations for me of buying CDs from HMV are: a) There are no CD singles available. (except Invincible the last time I went there) b) The albums are either reprints or produced by Warner Hong Kong. 我不是很富裕，但有时候为了喜欢的东西还是可以狠下来 heh. Me too.

fire Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I dunno,i mean i bought copies that were actually made in Germany so i guess it's not reproducing right? But did you buy them from HMV HK? And did you buy them a long time ago? Because I only checked out the albums there in this recent year. For Black Holes and Revelation, I could only find the ones labelled Warner Music Hong Kong Ltd on the back cover. For the others, including Hullabaloo, on the back cover, there are two years printed. So I supposed that the first year is when they were first released and the second one is when they were reproduced, although they were produced in Germany too. What do you think? and no i didnt go to MCR's gig,i am not interested in them:p Sorry I looked back and found that it was MUSE* who mentioned the MCR's gig in previous posts.
