Have to agree, sconebum, WHS are the `pits` when it comes to Dvd`s. In my local store the other day, and they were asking £19.99 for titles such as Men in black, which Tesco`s sell for £8.99, and Playstation.com sell for even less, inc. delivery!! The only other place that`s as bad as them is PC World, and how they ever sell any DVD`s is absolutely beyond me!

Why anyone buys from the dixons group (includes PC world ) is a mystery. Appalling shops in every sense.

I`m not a great fan of WH Smith`s, but a bargain`s a bargain. Then again, the day I picked up the Perfect Storm for £7.99 instore, they still had some of the same disks selling for £16.99 in the plastic anti-theft boxes. I wonder if any mugs actually bought them at that price, and whether WH Smith staff would have put them right?

If you buy this months Empire magazine there ar a whole load of discount vouchers including approx six for £2 off any DVD which unlike CDs (which must be over £9.99) have no price restrictions, therefore where they are selling the warner titles eg True Romance, Goodfellas for £7.99 like everyone else you can pick them up for £5.99 which so far I haven`t seen cheaper anywhere.

In all fairness to the WHS empire, their new release prices generally compete well with the rest of the high street and, with a couple of Empire vouchers taking the price down further, I think the Smiths budget rack is actually a pretty good deal. Their New Year supply of Warner - and some MGM - disks are as cheap as the prices offered on the DVD web-sites play247 and under18. The selection includes new and back-catalogue films I was happy to pick up - Deliverance, Heat, Three Kings, Perfect Storm - as well as the Seven 2-disk. You also have the happy-to-take-it-back-wth-a-receipt, bang-on-the-counter option so tragically lacking on most web sites.
