Could someone please tell me which sites deliver DVD's for the release date? The only item I have ever pre-ordered as DVD was the 24 season one box set from SR as a Gameaday. Now SR don't sell DVD's like they used to there shouldn't be a problem with suggesting sites which will deliver a pre-order for the release date.

Thankyou in advance.

You'd have to be pretty sad to start mouthing off about how you like to 'lay the smack down on ninty jabronies'. And we don't want to hear about what you like to do with assorted confectionary and people's as*es.

So do you recommend DVDplus then? As I have never heard of them. Went to their site and there doing Blue Crush for £10.87 which is very low as I thought Play.com were cheap at £12.99. Only really used Play.com as it was a UK shipping place that sold Region 1 DVDs at reasonable prices. I think I might have to order Blue Crush and see how DVDplus perform.

Thats from Global videos. I Emailed them and asked about their delivery policy 7 days a go and I didn't even get an automated response. I decided to go in store and ask to see if they new about their online service. The idiot there said "as far as I am aware its £49.99 and I don't know about delivery". If there was a £10 difference then I wou.d have risked it. However for an extra £5 I know the service I am getting.

Not the point. Amazon charge for delivery, they should deliver on release date. Play doesn't charge, yet you often get it early. You're telling me that - and I assume you're getting this - that when you order Mario Kart Double Dash and if it turned up a day later than everyone else here gets it you wouldn't be slightly p*ssed ?

Its Okay because I have gone with DVDplus. I have never had an item loose or damaged in that way when ordering from them. They have also said it will be there for the release. With the 24 season 2 boxset spanning across 7 CD's I would rather order from a company which have served me will in the past and are yet to let me down many orders later.

You can get 24 Season 2 from Play.com for £32.99. In my experience I have had perfect items from them. The dvds that are lose in the case can happen with any company. The DVDs are sealed so they could be lose when Play.com actually get them from there supplier. I have had quite a few lose dvds when buying games from SR so its not just Play.com.

Went into my local Global Video store and they are charging £49.99! Just ordered it for 35.95 inc First class delivery. I will more than likely get it earlier than next monday and a lot cheaper. Why go down to the tip off shops when I can get a better deal all round online?
