Region 1 dvd's

Where is the most reliable place to buy region 1 dvd's?

Comments

  • I have bought from play.com (international section - Top right corner of main screen) with no problems over the years, I have also bought from cdwow.com and more recently, especially because of the exchange rate before Christmas, Amazon.com.

    Prices can vary quite a bit, dependant upon if you pay by Stirling or Dollars too.
  • I`d say the best place is http://www.dvdpacific.com

    I have bought quite a few from an Amazon marketplace seller,there are a number of sellers on there who ship direct from US.They usually take about a week to get here.
  • ebay :). sometimes you can get some good deals even taking into account p&p costs

    www.dvdslimited.com is great. They get new Region 1 releases 2 weeks prior to the street date, send them the same day as ordered via 1st class recorded delivery. Excellent company.

    With the demise of HD-DVD in favour of the Movie Industries favourite proprietary format, does that mean the days of 'Multiregional' DVD players are numbered ?

    You can pick up very cheap ones on Ebay.co.uk as most UK buyers cannot use them unless their DVD players are unlocked

    i am sure it wont take too long for somebody to work out how to make the blue ray players multi regional.

    very good question ianfabris , dont think they will for a good few years but with the ever evolving market in DVD players in HD format you never know. I belive in 7-10 years retailers will be scaling back their normal dvd format to be replaced by Bluray format.
