Buying DVD's on Play.com

Am I right in assuming that it is still cheaper to buy in UK Pounds prices rather than Euro? Also, how prompt does everyone find the delivery from play? If I order the full Futurama collection today, will I have it by next Wednesday most likely?

Not that likely, Anytime I've ordered off them it's nearly always been closer to 2 weeks than a week to get the order.

nope, its usually about 5-7 working days and your order wont be processed until tommorrow evening. so its debatable whether it will be shipped before the weekend.

usually yes.

I use sendit who are a little slower (items take on average 6 or 7 days to arrive) but have no postage to UK/ROI and are pretty cheap.

The Irish shops are a disgrace -
a) Their prices
b) Their inability to have certain titles in stock on the release date
c) Their refusal to stock certain titles on demand. "We can order it for you" is useless

the bonus of Play for me is that they take Laser cards. Any other recommended sites out there I could be using?
