Where to buy cheap DVDs online?

[The Edge]

Hey,
I'm looking at buying some dvds for christmas and I was wondering where you guy/gals buy your dvds online?
Can anybody suggest some good links?

The best I've found so far are:
http://www8.cd-wow.com.hk and www.play.com, both with free delivery.
Cheers in advance ;)

Never had problems with

http://www.futureent.com

Hmmmm....seems expensive.

Example:
Shogun (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0080274/)

futureent.com (http://www.futureent.com/dvd/details.php?id=13274) is €55.37 not including shipping.

I can get it at Play.com (http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=145801&p=57&c=&g=72) for €18.62 Delivered!

Cheers for link though.

Any others?

From all those funny € symbols I don't think this deal will help you, but for those of us on the other side of the pond...

DeepDiscountDVD is running a promo in USA Today. Enter the coupon code usatoday and get 20% off. Good until dec 5th. Only one use per costumer (it applies to the whole order, so you can get as many DVDs as you want, but you can only use it on one order).

DDD usually has excellent prices and free shipping, so the extra 20% is gravy. For instance you can get LOTR:TT,EE for less than $20 shipped. Box sets are cheap (Angel S1,2 Buffy S2,3,4 Indy set, ect ~$35 each, normally ~$44).

The guys at DVDTalk are going nuts over this:

The Finnish folks buy their DVDs from either play.com or www.ezydvd.com.au . I only have experiences from Play, which have been very positive indeed.

(note that those are Australian dollars at EzyDVD;) )

www.dvd9.com used to be cheap, but i see they are not around anymore.

how about ebay.com? This is by far the best place to get anything online for cheap. I've gotten not just DVD's from Ebay, but also my complete car stereo systems, electic razor, 200GB HD, the list goes on and on. So go on there and search for a few dvd's if ya want.

the trouble with buying dvds on ebay is
when the arrive they are always on dvdr.

Also try http://dvdpricecheck.co.uk/ for worldwide price comparisons (in GBP :), with shipping prices calculated for the UK).

Aren't all commerical DVD's Dvd-r? I mean the dvd's they sell are the same ones you get in the store so I don't see the problem.

Some more UK ones:

www.splashdvd.com
www.choicesdirect.co.uk
www.dvdplus.com

And a Canadian site which has free worldwide shipping:

www.dvdboxoffice.com

All worth checking out in addition to Play and CD-WOW, loads of DVD's availiable for £5.99 or £6.99 inc delivery ;)

[smiller667]

Personally, I'd advoid using splashdvd if you can help it - they charge your cc immediately, but hardly ship before 4-6 weeks have passed. This is for articles marked "5-7 days". dvdpricecheck also has a customer feedback page.

Also, R4 discs are often identical to their R2 counterparts, but sometimes cheaper. http://ezydvd.com.au is highly recommended, as is http://michaeldvd.com.au for R4 vs. R1 comparisons.

And if you are really into shopping internationally, you probably all know http://dvd-basen.dk for reviews ... http://dvdcompare.org.uk can be useful as well.
