Page 1 of New DVD Retailer Website Available

Hi,
I thought I would inform ou of a new website I am working on at http://www.dvdstep.com/.
It features a directory of Region 1,2 and 4 retailers as well as Bollywood specialist retailers.
It`s kept simple with info on how competitive prcing is, how much delivery costs and how long it takes, and also what payment methods they accept. It also features a price comparison section for Bollywood DVDs.

i would be interested in views on the funcionality and design of the website, so please visit!

ps. Clayts I couldn`t figure a way of messaging youm couldn`t find your email address!

First thing I would say is that it would be good for site visitors to be able to add feedback/comments re the retailers - for instance I have often found devoted to be cheaper than ezydvd, particularly when shipping is taken into account. Users` feedback on experiences of the retailers would be useful, too, and maybe a rating scheme, split into different areas - similar to the list of sites Dicanio did a while ago (see http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/forums/thread.asp?Forum=113&Thread=59828 ). I know this makes the site more complex (don`t know if you have a DB behind it), but would make me more likely to use it.

You need to mention whether delivery time is quoted or actual. Because EzyDVD are a lot faster than it says on the site. They sent something to me on 20th December and I got it on the 24th (at the same time as a 1st Class Xmas card from just 100 miles away, posted on the 18th!)

HI,
Thanks for replying guys.

The delivery is the quoted time and I know what you mean about sites like Ezy who are a lot quicker. Let me see if I can do anything about it.

The reviews are a good idea the two probs I`m worried about though is security (if people have to register) and how worthwhile it would be for everyone. Perhaps as the site settles down and becomes easier to manage (using asp with a db) I can add this feature on.

Hi Nads
slightly off topic: You know anywhere I can get Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham dvd from?
Thanx in advance.

I don`t mind :)

There are two pirate copies available. The official onewon`t be out for ages since Yash Raj Films are really slow with this kind of thing and the films success in the cinema.

The first is by Cinema Active (fake name) and just has the film and song menu. Quality isn`t bad but is cropped big time! (You can only see the last few letters of names during the opening credits).

The second is by Time Line (fake name) and is better 1.70:1 or somethig technical like that. It includes the film (duh!), menus (duh 2) and the making of K3G. Overall much better.

I haven`t found any online retailers selling these for obvious reason but your desi video shop is probably the best bet. Which part of the UK you in?

Thanx Nad!!! :-)
The answer to your Question-which part of the UK I`m in- is Southall, Middx

Southhall? You`ll find a lot of Desi Retailers!
