Title: Where to buy DVDs etc
Post by: Dr Sadako on July 25, 2003, 09:04:54 AM
Play a.k.a. play247

http://www.play.com/ (http://www.play.com/)

A very good site for DVDs, music and games (pc/ps2/xbox/gc). Shipping is free and they are updated on releases up to a year in advance. Lots of information about the titles also. Not always cheapest but their page is very good. The database is huge!

Splash DVD

http://www.splashdvd.com (http://www.splashdvd.com)

The homepage isn't very good, but the prices are usually very good. There are little information on the products and sometimes there is nothing but the title and the price. Shipping is free but they charge your card when you submit your order irrespectively if they send you the item the same day or 5 weeks later. Play (above) charges your card when the item is sent. Splash takes longer time to deliver in comparison to Play.

DVD Boxoffice

http://www.dvdboxoffice.com/ (http://www.dvdboxoffice.com/)

Based in Canada but shipping is free! Here you can find region 1 DVDs to a decent price. The page offers to convert the price to about 10 different currencies, even Swedish crowns! The information on the products are usually well updated, a bit better than Splash. Lookout for prices there are some really good bargains here but also some genuine robbings. Compare prices at e.g. http://www.playusa.com (http://www.playusa.com) before ordering.

Isn't this illegal under UK law?

Dunno. But they are based on Jersey and I don't know if they go under UK law?

Jersey law is much the same as UK law AFAIK. As long as you get the goods I don't think there's a problem.

If you own a regaion hackable DVD player you might try DVD Price Check (http://www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk/)

It compairs prices around the world.

I just got Gangs of New York for £12.99 (ironically from a UK company) and the Special edition of The Two Towers for £14.00 from a place in Canada.

Not massive savings, but if you buy a lot of DVD's it all ads up.
