[stuarthaines]

Reminds you of the Toy story 1 and 2 scenario. R1 boxset for £17.99 (play 247) R2 boxset including a disc of extras admittedly, £44.99. What would you buy <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Rob.

The answer to the price differential is obvious - <br />Play don't have any copies of the Region 1 disc. I ordered mine on 5 July and it's yet to arrive. What's even worse is that they won't respond to any email enquiry and the phone number just rings and eventually disconnects. They've gone way down in my estimation - obviously victims of their own success.<br />Add this to the cock-up they made with The Godfather R1 being advertised in Total DVD as £43.99 yet the web site states £47.99.

[Nick Brooks]

DOH! The Godfather price was for R2 (but they still cocked it up)

<img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <br />Well sory to tell you this, but I got mine on Tuesday from Play, £17.99. You can get it from Movietyme for £17.49 as well.

[Rob]

I too recieved the Simpsons box set Tues from Play.

[Noel]

Mine turned up from Play on Monday....

On an interesting note, the last five times I've phoned them I've had to let it time out twice, then the third time I call I get answered! Odd.

[Big Jim]

got mine tuesday also.

Did your ones have the paper back sheet glued onto the box as well?

[Noel]

Yep. Classy, eh?

[Big Jim]

oh well - pay peanuts, gotta expect mokeys I suppose

with regards to the paper note query this has come out on every fox boxset i have bought simpsons xfiles 1,2 and 3 buffy 1and 2<br />dont know why they do it though
