I see alot of you use Play to get ya Region 1 DVDs
So i thought id give them a try.
The prices on Play are terrible
example:
Went to order Digimon the Movie for my boy
Price on Play247 was £17.41 including 5% thing
Price on DVD Box Office is £11.73 delivered

http://www.dvdboxoffice.com
They are the cheapest and very reliable
What do you guys think ?

Well play have not been doing to well in the past few months. But it has started to pick up again. And you can get your dvds in 3-4 days. The do cost a bit more but what 5% thing.

Well I have only used play Play247 once but I would prefer to buy from them even though they are a bit more expensive because they are based in the UK. Therefore I can pay using my switch card (really don't want to use my credit card to pay) and if there is a fault you don't have to send them back to America. Most of there prices cost the same as a new DVD in the UK so they are comparable. What's that 5% extra you were on about. You just pay the price quoted and the P&P is free.

In my experience DVDBOxOffice aren't the best comparison. Although they've managed to deliver to me in 2 weeks before, on a number of occasions they've taken 3 weeks or more. You could walk the disc here quicker than that.

They're also generally more expensive than http://www.absound.ca. AB also usually deliver in under a week...

The 5% thing was on the order form for Play247
It said £1 extra if you use debit card or 5% on top if you use Cedit card.

Well after i bought my player, i started gettin magazines. I seen a smallish ad for Play247. I thought id try it out, it was the first place i bought DVDs from. The services was good. The price was good. And the site was good. I dont really look at other places because i know that play will be one of the overall best. But i tend to stick with the first people i buy from.

i have seen a few posts about play on here lately and about their service. But it has been fine with me. Normal Royal Mail 3 day delivery. They get order out next day. Great!

But the Prices though
You should try looking at Boxoffice prices you can save £4-7 a disk in some cases
