For instance, Cowboy Bebop released a definative version of the series called the Perfect Edition, list price was 200 bucks, now more since its out of print.

There's a HK version of it out there, thats PERFECT, for 30 fucking bucks. Its technically a bootleg, however, its done through real HK businesses so the layouts, quality etc will be the same.

Mileage may of course vary, but you can definately find a steal.
