Play.com pre releases for £11.99

It`s a while off, but Play.com have quite a few movies for pre-order at the above price including Mothman Prophecies, Scooby Doo, The Time Machine, Collateral Damage, The Majestic, Showtime and We Were Soldiers. Many of these are not out til October/November but there`s nothing stopping you pre-ordering while the price is good, then removing if you find out they`re rubbish films (and maybe all of these films are).

this is because these are Warner releases and they have reduced their rrp on new release single disk dvds to only £15.99 then with Play`s 25% discount comes down to only £11.99
if only others would follow.

think its part of their strategy to boost retail sales and kill rental especially with their new rental pricing (rental shops now have to pay a massive premium for the disks rather than just the retail price).

ah right, well it`s about time the studios did their bit considering we`ve taken to dvd as consumers so well. Could never understand the cost of renting from certain stores (£3.50 or more) compared to buying, mainly from region 1 sources for only 3 times that amount - or less, with all the added extras that rental copies miss out.

yeah, play deserve alot more publicity. whilst they`re not the quickest post-wise when compared to amazon etc. they are certainly cheap and have a good stocklist.
