Good Sources of US (Region 1) DVDs?

[Adrianne S]

I am looking for recommendations for good sources of Region 1 US DVD movies. My two main DVD players are both multi region and with a number of recent cinema releases that interest me (Harry Potter, Shrek 3, Pirates of the Carribean 3, Simpsons Movie etc) I am hoping to get them earlier by buying region 1.

So basically just after some recommendations for reliable online stores that sell significant numbers of region 1 DVRAB; ideally at reasonable prices as I don't have lots to spend and also would much prefer the stores to actually be based in the UK (or at least EU) to avoid hefty customs charges that (often) come from importing from further away. Also it would be very good to hear of recommendations that people can back up with positive experience of the store they recommend.

All input very much appreciated

I've only ever used Playusa.com & cdwow.com. Both deal in region 1s & cdwow sells cheap region 3s. Just noticed Disturbia (Shia Lebouf) is released on region1 on 7th august but doesn't hit our cinemas until sept 7th. So I think I'll be buying that!!

Would second playusa.com or amazon.com. Both well known and reputable. I've never been stung with additional import charges. I ordered The Monster Squad 20th anniversary from Play, costing me

Best thing is to shop around as you would with a Region 2 DVD and never buy anything costing more than

They are usually advertising on the new and used bit of the Play.com website. I got all my Queer As Folk DVRAB from there. I also got my Dante's Coves cheap on Play's new and used too. Both R1.

Miles better than Amazon as you don't pay any postage.

When I got the 30 disc Alias complete box from Amazon.com I was so happy that I never got stung for charges.

I jusr ordered the complete Land of the Giants set from Amazon.com at $190.

I wonder if I will get lucky again otherwise I'll be shelling out another

PLayUSA.com is always worth a try, but of course there is eBay!

Yeah, it's just a gamble you take, you maybe unlucky and get stung, you may be lucky and they don't pull your item over.

With the exchange rate being so good at the moment Amazon.com can work out really cheap. They're still incredibly slow compared to PlayUSA though, can take about 3 weeks for stuff to arrive, whereas PlayUSA only ever takes that long if you've been nailed for tax.

Didn't seem to be pot luck when I was ordering PLAYUSA stuff for
