movietyme.com

Cheap, good service - can't really fault them at all.

Ordered "A Scanner Darkly", "Corpse Bride" & "March of the Penguins" yesterday and they've already been dispatched to probably arrive by Friday. Looking forward to a great HD DVD weekend!

I alos use movietyme but mostly I use dvdpacific.com, join as a member (no charge) and get big discounts. Not the best website (far from it) but a reliable service and good prices.

Re: Where are you lot buying your Blu Ray and HD-DVD's from?

Movietyme, DVD Pacific and Amazon.com are the favourites.
Read the AVF supplier's FAQ for further info:
DVD Suppliers FAQ >>> Look here first!!

EDIT: Oops. Forgot BD region coding. For region B BD discs Amazon UK, Play, sendit.com and choicesuk.com are probably your best bet.
Same sites, of course, for UK HD DVD releases like Harry Potter and The Pianist.

Re: Where are you lot buying your Blu Ray and HD-DVD's from?

another mention for axelmusic , very happy with their prices and their service(just remember you have to include postage ) preordered the directors cut of payback hddvd , release date 10/04/2007 - shipped on the 02/04/2007 only recently discovered them after being an long time customer of mostly play and cdwow . really note happy with cdwow recently , feel that their once good service has declined very fast , a word of warning don't pre order from cdwow , they are terrible at getting them out on time

Amazon.com, Movietyme, axelmusic, dvdworldusa and dvd pacific. If you can't get what you are looking for from those then you will never find it

DVD planet and DVD pacific are both good sites and fairly cheap.

I would add HMV.co.uk for blu ray releases. They are usually the same price and more likely to have them in stock. Play and amazon can be really slow in getting Blu rays for release date. HMV always has them early.

I use a few Ebay stores. Most of the time they are cheaper than online retailers.

DVDWorldUSA for me. Shipping is always 3-4 working days, and discs always arrive before the US release date if pre-ordered.

I'm found them more consistent than MT. MT is great sometimes, but other times I have to wait 2 weeks for a back-order
