Where to Buy SACD & DVD-A Online

Hi Folks. I am looking for some good sites for buying SACDs and DVD-As. So far Tower seems to have the best choice and prices.

Looking for good prices of course, but a good catalogue is always a good place to see whats available so I can track down a good price.

UK delivery as well.

Any thoughts?

Cheers Rog

http://www.dvdboxoffice.com/

both offer lots of titles for a reasonable price.Not nearly enough though - very frustrating.

Hawklord, thanks, Play good prices small choice. DVDbox office much better choice. Bit pricey though.

Thanks for the info.

Hi folks thanks for the sites, just did some price comparisons on SACD taking into account if things were in stock and pricing. I found tower.co.uk to just win on total cost. However they ship from the USA so who knows how long it will take.

Amazon werent too bad but like Play they only stock a few items. What we need is CD-wow to do SACD and DVD-A.

As I have got used to paying £8.99 for CDs and picked up Dark Side of the Moon SACD from Tescos store for £9.98 not that keen on paying over £12 for an SACD or DVD-A. Call me a tight wad.

Any more suggestions also welcome.
