Wanted: Best sites to buy DVDs and games
I would be grateful if you could tell me which sites are, in your opinion, the best (in terms of prices and diversity) to purchase movies on DVD and computer or even console games. I live in Greece so those that don't deliver over here, won't do.
Thank you all in advance. PS: If this thread is misplaced, mods feel free to move it wherever it should be.

What do you mean play.com is making their prices higher?
At least the pc games they are selling are mostly insanely cheap, a big amount of the New games they are selling are nowadays priced with £17.99 tag.

Wow their top seller, Football Manager 2005, is going for only £18! Compare that to £25 at Gameplay.com, £27 at Game.uk.com, and £22 at Amazon.co.uk and thats pretty impressive. Pity I don't like football games.

ACK!

I buy my new stuff at Play.com, I only use Amazon.co.uk or Gameplay when they have better offers or items Play.com doesn't....
And Ebay is always good for used items, or just old games, you might even find new games there too! Or semi-new.... And depending on what languages you know you might be able to find more stores.... You might fight some cool German or French site if you can undertand it.... Hmm, Hongkongfun seems to dead, but since I don't undestand German... Once a German friend of mine made an order for me there.

DVD Box Office is a site based in Canada that offers free global shipping (Through slow mail, but it's free at least). They have a pretty large selection of stuff too. However I've heard somewhat mixed stories from people that have shopped there, although it's mostly just praise. It seems that their email contact can be rather sluggish.

Thanks everybody for their contribution.
DVDsoon doesn't seem to work but that's ok. So does Game.uk ship outside of UK? Same goes for Chumbo.com that was mentioned in another shopping thread: couldn't figure if it ships worldwide or not...

That's curious...
I'm possitive it didn't work before but then I post this and... And what's that buzzing on the phone line? Well I'll have to ask Zak when I see him.. Still though many of its DVDs are Region 1 only. Guess I' ll have to stick with play.com after all

Yeah, if you don't have a region free dvd player, then play.com is the best choice, but if you have a region free player and you are after for example tv series dvd box sets with insane cheap prices, then dvdsoon is your answer.

As for www.play.com, I notice that they're selling both Syberia games in one package, for £15. Good christmas present material. |
