    Family Guy Series 1 is only £9.99 (€14) and Futurama Series is 1 is £14.99 (€21) at www.play.com

    Looks like Fox is having a special on their series 1's as

    Dark Angel £24.99
    NYPD Blue £14.99
    Buffy Season 1 £16.99
    Mash Season 1 £11.99

    are all there too.


    Was almost tempted to pick up Family Guy at the HMV sale (buy one get the one free) over the weekend. That was until i noticed that they upped the price of most of the DVDs to €41!!

    I highly recommend the family guy season 3 box set from play. Its 21 episodes on 3 DVD's and priced quite reasonably. I had it preordered for several months, finally got it a few weeks ago after its release got delayed by over a month!

    I have ordered Family guy last week from Play and went into Hmv Grafton street to laugh at the price they are charging for the same dvd. €44.99 euros for season one.

    Rip Off Ireland, I have not bought a cd or dvd in Ireland for the past 3 years, when I buy online I often price what its would have cost me in Ireland and save 50 or 60 % by buying online.

    Play.com dvds are very unreliable as well. The disks give jerky playback and the silver side of the disk looks like some liquid is spilled inside the disk or something, like the disk had been stored in excessive heat/moisture.

    Play.com discs have never ever given me any problems. They've been great every time I ordered from them.

    Although this is all going a little off topic i'll throw my tuppence worth in. I have noticed myself using the 3 companies mentioned above CDwow, Play and DVDSoon.

    Play have a much better selection of R2 DVDs than CDWow. Cdwow usually beat Play on price and customer service.
    Dvdsoon cannot be beat for R1 preorders. If you keep your eyes open on DVDSoons site you will get some fantastic offers but you will have to pay when you order them, not when they ship. They are very slow to ship items that have been out for a while though.

    There are other sites i have used, but i always come back to those 3. And, as this particular thread is about Family Guy and Futurama Series 1, i will note that CDWow do not have those items in stock so Play have the best price :)

    Go back and check out the price for the Goodness Gracious Me DVD (in the TV section). Can't remember whether it's season 1 or 2 that has the fantastic price.


    Ordered Family Guy btw - thanks mbroaders. Thinking about Futurama and Simpsons but £9.99 can't be beat.

    I have gotten quite a lot of dvds from play.com and only ever had a problem once, which they sorted out very quickly. So if you'd like to back up that very unreliable comment, I'd be interested in how many times you have gotten faulty goods from them.

    Dvdsoon are slow. They have great prices and are excellent for pre-orders like mbroaders said, but they are really slow.
    I've waited weeks for them to ship stuff, you can't tell if the item is in stock or not which is annoying so you have to sit and wait. I don't mind though, considering their prices.
    A side note. If you order more than one thing at the same time they are bundled together. Say you order 3 things, if one is out of stock none will be shipped til they get it back into stock. Unlike play and cdwow.

    cdwow is great. The Hong Kong site being the best imo. Same dvds as the Irish and English site, but cheaper. Also, the DVDs arive quite quickly, considering they are shipped from Hong Kong. Quickest I got one was 3 days after dispatch.

    Play is the site I use to get info on the dvds. Then I'll try Cdwow to see if they have it and will buy it off them if they do. However Cdwow have far less of a selection when compared with Play.
    Both have excellent customer service imo, and Play has the nicest site to navigate (I know this doesnt mean too much, but everything is clear, you know if it's in stock or not.)

    Ezydvd.com.au deserves a mention too. Very competitive prices and a good selection. Mainly region 4 dvds, but there is the odd region 2/4 dvd. Not free shipping, which is the only bad side. $9.68 (Australian dollars) for 2 dvds isnt bad though. They dont individually ship either. So something to watch out for.

    Best thing to do is to order each DVD seperate. There is free shipping with them now too. I havent had any problems with shipping from them (in fact they have been scarily quick for me, took 2 days to get Animatrix from Canada). Their prices are just crazy, ordered the collecters edition of Finding Nemo for €13 last week. Have the 9 disk Alien Quadroligy on order for €43.

    Just noticed they are now partially shipping all items for free now also.

    And to top things off here is a link to some money off coupons :

    Yeah I have ordered them individually after finding that out. Just thought it would be a good idea to let others know.
    I want the Alien Quadroligy boxset. Price seems to be hopping up and down a bit at the moment. I think it's currently $98.98 it was $93.98 for a while.
