What one do you think is better. Some things are cheaper on amazon ans some things are cheaper on play. Some things are the same price on both of them

Play. Free postage and quicker. Also better packaging that will go through your door!

I prefer CDWOW though.

Amazon are a generally more established company they have a lot of good offers, but the downside is you have to spend £15 to get free delivery.

Play is also pretty good though, quick service and reasonable prices.

imo Its Play all the way. I use Play all the time, I use Amazon now and again for books, but even then, Ive slowly started using ebay for that instead now. Amazon seems to be quite expensive, and a shoddy site layout and design too.

CD-WOW is good. They usually have voucher codes to save a pound or two on your order.

It's got to be Play for me although they do also advertise on ebay now under Play Ltd and their dvd's are £1 dearer but it means you can pay via paypal and you still get free postage.

I read the reviews on Amazon... then order from Play.

I find them to be cheaper something like 80% of the time, you don't have to factor in extra postage, and their delivery is extremely speedy.

Also Play are superb for quick delivery of region 1 DVDs - just click on the 'International' section.

Play is cheapest - but amazon sometimes has a better selection if you're looking for something more obscure.

I used to find amazon much better for books, but play has caught up a lot.
