I have been researching DVD prices on the web recently and thought I'd share my findings. I made a list of 26 movies I plan to buy on DVD and compared prices from 6 different online retailers (OK, so I had alot of time to kill at work!)
I did not really delve into shipping charges, but by far the best DVD prices were at buyvideos.com. They had the best price ($14.99) on 20 out of the 26. They also had cheaper shipping when I checked. 800.com has a "price guarantee" but when I emailed them to ask about buyvideos.com prices they replied that buy.com is temporarily selling below cost in an attempt to establish a customer base, and that they would not match their prices.
The 6 online retailers I compared were: Amazon.com - best on 2 of 26, typical $17.49 or $20.99
Reel.com - best on 3, typical $17.99 or $20.99
Buyvideos.com - best on 20!!!! Typical $14.99
Spree.com - no best prices, typical $17.49 or $20.49
800.com - 1 best, typical $17.95 or $21.45
Bestbuy.com - 3 best, prices all over from $14.99-$20.99
I don't work for any of these companies (and if I don't stop hanging out on this site I may not have my job much longer!). I am just trying to share some of the research I did for myself. PS-thanks to Daniel Tonks for creating such a great site!
