Best place to buy your DVDs?

GDW · Jan 7, 2003

Where do you guys buy your Region 2 DVDs from?

Play, Blackstar or somewhere else. Just curious as to the word on the street. Not that its to do with a work related topic or anything

Testin da Cable · Jan 7, 2003

I get mine from "Smuggler" Ono

I wish

legendario · Jan 7, 2003

Most of mine are bought from play.com

Depends on how rare the film is but generally play.

I did get sling blade from ebay a few months ago though.

adams901 · Jan 7, 2003

I use the following

www.play.com (UK)
www.dvdboxoffice.com (CANADA)

Both have free shipping and sometimes dvdboxoffice works out cheaper than play, but of course it is only useful if like me you buy region 1 DVDs.

Ash! · Jan 7, 2003

Play, Blackstar, eBay and Amazon arent too bad.

If you arent too bothered about extras etc then Blockbuster usually have a good deal on ex rentals.

dysfunction · Jan 7, 2003

These are the cheapest places I have found. Better than Amazon and Blackstar by miles!!

http://www.cd-wow.com/ (UK I think) - FREE POSTAGE!

http://www.dvdsoon.com (Canada)

Also Play.com as mentioned above

NaveT · Jan 7, 2003

[a].Future Entertainment
.Play
[c].CD Wow

Those 3 are usually the cheapest.

Its best to check each one first though, as will be £24 for dvd.x where [a] will be £13.

I would have said Play.com, but to be honest there's not much difference between them and HMV for older films.

Nowadays I usually just pop into HMV. Older films I want are usually in their two-for-£20 section. For new films I guess Play still rules. FREE POSTAGE!

mank! · Jan 7, 2003

I usually use HMV. I don't go anywhere else because I find HMV to be far superior for my tastes. I occasionally use Amazon, but because I usually just withdraw all my cash instead of using a card of some sort, I generally can't use Amazon.

dysfunction · Jan 7, 2003

Well I just ordered Back to the future Triple disk set from CD-Wow and it costs £19.99 there now.

I think HMV are selling it for £24.99.

Now you are welcome to spend the extra if you like.

I also ordered Donnie Darko from DVDSoon for around £7 including delivery. Its not even out on DVD at HMV.

HMV's buy one get one free deals are ok but you can get the same films at CD-Wow (and others) and pay a little bit less most times...

Ch3tan · Jan 7, 2003

I go outside to a shop, usually from work because I get a discount, but also Virgin and HMV. I much prefer buying like this than over the net, you see exactly what you are getting, and the prices are usually reasonable -especially during this sale period.

Sar · Jan 7, 2003

Same as Ch3t, I get mine in work because I get discount.

Huzzah!

Ono · Jan 7, 2003

Ono gives the masses the list of his favourite suppliers:

DVDSoon for R1 releases

Play for R2 releases and games

Yesasia for Korean R3 releases

DVDAsian for Korean R3 releases

CD-Wow for R1/R2/R4 releases

DDDHouse for Hong Kong R3 releases

DVDcrave for cheap Gamecube games

I also pop along to the local MVC now and then to see what they have in the sales.

DVDSoon and Yesasia are getting the most money from me at the moment.

It's £29.99 in HMV, well at my local one anyway.

Ono · Jan 7, 2003

very same places i go too

Recoil101 · Feb 10, 2003

well I have to say that Play.com better be good

I am about to place an order for about 70 DVDs...

Insurance money is coming thru this week :clap:

tbh I have searched about and Play seem the cheapest by a quid or 2 here and there which when buying in bulk soon adds up.

Ono · Feb 10, 2003

Play will be fine. Safest bet.

What you *may* want to do is see if there are any Special Editions of some of the DVDs you lost and go for those rather than any bog standard ones.

We had to do the same, my step-son's bag got stolen with his entire collection of nu-metal CDs and we put in a massive order to replace them all, the problem is they wrap and send them individually, as they become available, whatever the case !

Look forward for the odd parcel or five arriving over the next few days !!!

NaveT · Feb 11, 2003

You can try http://www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk/ which tells the cheapest place for each dvd.

He did

now my bedroom floor is covered in jiffy bags

For Sale :- 65 Jiffy Bags, slightly used, very handy if you want to send me stuff as they have the added feature of being pre-addressed.

yup. have to say I cant really fault the service so far. Everything arrived within a week and there are none missing and no cocked up orders so will be using them again

plus all the box sets were sent recorded delivery.

Ono · Feb 22, 2003

Play must have been *very* happy with you too mate.

.Cask · Feb 22, 2003

What a waste of materials. Haven't they got boxes in that part of the country? :eek:
