Hi all,
I have noticed a couple of threads with warnings about an online games / multimedia company called powerplaydirect.com.

Just to let you know, they are a legit site (i work for them in a different section).

But, our website was hijacked recently and copied by a couple of fraudsters.

Below is a quote from our news page which can be found here...

They may be a legit site however when i was forced to use them by my insurance company to replace some stolen items i found them to be dreadful to deal with.

Wouldn't send out some of the order untill items that were out of stock were in stock but they had no idea when they would be in stock. Once they started sending items out i think they used carrier pigeon as postage took ages.

I'd happily recommend play.com but NOT powerplaydirect.com
