Re: got my ps3 now where to get a film from?

Amazon.com and Caiman (a US amazon marketplace seller) are my current favorites, a lot of Blu-rays are not region locked so buying them from the US often gets you best deal pricewise and you don't have to wait an age for them to be released.

For UK DVD's DVD.co.uk have had some good deals recently as have sendit.

A lot of forum users use Movietyme, however I myself never have, they do have a good list of which US DVD's are region free here

I use the trading section on here quite a bit. Often as it's next day delivery, plus you can trade so keeps money being spent down to a minimum.

To find out what Blu-Rays are region coded, click here.

Re: got my ps3 now where to get a film from?

i have the same problem,

im completely maxed out on cash now after spending over a grand on hardware and a remote for my ps3

im in a rental scheme though so ive loaded up my rental list with blu ray titles

and to be honest even if i had the cash id still want to rent before i buy

i honestly think some blu rays are just glorified dvds and not worth 5 quid let alone 23!

from the supplier forum:
Recommended HD-DVD and Blu-ray Suppliers

I also personally use find-dvd.co.uk as my UK disc price checker.
