Find the best DVD prices online
If you’re looking for the best online prices for DVDs, but don’t have the time to trawl the Net comparing prices, there are two great Aussie sites that will do all the hard work for you: DVD Plaza and DVD Offers.
A word of caution, though: make sure you factor in the shipping costs, as it can dramatically change the final price. What might initially look to be the best deal may not turn out to be so once you add the shipping and handling costs.
Also, you’ll notice from the information below that each site searches different online stores, so between the two, you’ll have all the major online DVD stores covered.
DVD Plaza lets you search for the best prices on DVDs by title, format and availability from DeVoteD, DVDown Under, Atlantic DVD, DVD Crave and DVD Orchard.
You can search for DVDs without registering on the site (registration is free), but if you do sign up, you get notification of price drops, participate in DVD forums, use DVD Plaza’s classifieds area, and more. Click tjrough from the results page to purchase. Further information depends on the individual sites.
DVD Plaza also lets you search for the best online prices for music and games.
DVD Offers searches the following sites for the best Aussie deals on DVDs: CD WOW, Chaos.com, DVD Orchard and Fishpond.com.au.
Results show a synopsis of the movie, prices and shipping, cover art, video trailers and links, and you can sign up for email notification or RSS feeds of new releases so you can keep up to date with movies on offer.
