People in the UK - Where do you buy your region 1's

[Hardcoreruss]

Was just curious as to where people buy there region 1 dvd's from.

I personally use www.play.com

Just wanted to know if anyone has come across somewhere cheaper ?

For NTSC
Amazon.com, eBay.com, Half.com are great.

For PAL:
Amazon.co.uk, eBay.com, and Retrowarez.com are great.

Also see http://vcdhelp.pricegrabber.com/index.php/ut=42a9cc215dadb24e
It finds the best prices.

And if you use Half.com for the first time, use a coupon:

I agree half.com looks quality but it is not avaliable to us in the UK, that appears to be extremely cheap.

Kelkoo.co.uk

This searches sites like Play and CDWow, for the best price on R1 and R2 DVDs. I have ordered from many sites from these results, all fast and no problems :P

(Some R1 DVDs turned up at my door a day before release in the US )

I use www.play.com too, although I don't like buying Region 1 discs as they are NTSC and only have 80% of the picture quality and resolution of the PAL Region 2 disc. If I'm paying good sterling for something, I like it to be the best available!!

Yeah Play.com & CDwow are good, you may also want to try;

www.movietyme.com

They're based in the US but ship from the UK (no extra postage charge), and have harder to find Region 3 Asian stuff like Volcano High School etc. Some of their Region 1 new releases are around £17.99 though, but they get stuff in a few weeks before Play & CDwow.

CDwow also send you the Canadian Versions most of the time (they seem to get 'em cheaper)... no big difference but the packaging has dual french/english lettering.

I go for Region 1 as a lot of Region 2 stuff is cut/censored... (the Obi Wan/Jango Fett headbutt scene in Attack of Clones etc).

I've never heard of that one before! Usually it's the other way round with US versions being censored more than the European ones.

I don't live in the UK, but I have found, that www.dvdsoon.com is usually the cheapest and unlike amazon.com which charge obsene postage charges for small quantity orders, dvd soon charge in canadian dollars, and don't charge much for postage. They are also close to the cheapest seller online. There is only one thing with the dvd's, the covers, have a french description and also english on the same cover. But they charge in Canadian Dollars, which is a much better exchange rate than the US Dollar. You may also want to go to www.dvdpricesearch.com and then when the page loads go to preferences, change the ship to location to UK and then search for the title you are looking for and it will find the cheapest place to buy it from. I have purchased from 13 online businesses excluding auctions, and dvdsoon is by far the best for nearly every title. simply for the fact that they sell in Canadian Dollars and not US. If you are wanting an older title eg 1990's and before, you would be better off getting it from some other site as dvdsoon usually take a fair while to get these titles in, but newer titles they either have them in or can get them in within a week or so.
