Everyone knows piracy of all shapes and sizes is most rampant in Asia, but Sony doesn’t care. They have recently announced that they will in fact be bringing legit Blu-ray discs to China.

Word from Sony comes to us after news of Blu-ray disguised DVD-R’s have been making their way around in the East.

Selling for around 205 yuan, or about 30-bucks, Sony is the first company to bring their HD movies to China. But what movies can our Asian friends expect? TechRadar tells us that a total of 30-titles will make the cut including:

Kung Fu Hustle
Hitch
Close Encounters Of The Third Kind

Any bets on how long until Sony withdraws from the country due to an increase in piracy since this announcement?
