I'm an Amazon fan, but their prices--on the whole--are pretty terrible.

true...but it is just easier for me. and, i lied...before someone catches me in it, i'll admit. i've got a few posts on 'i just bought this dvd at lunch threads'. so...

but anyway, i go on bindges and get dozens a month. amazon is just easier to do so. i'm all set up for 1-click, etc. just my preference. i know it isn't always the cheapest.

NorthAmericanDVD is the way to go. They always seem to have the best prices. They ship faster than Amazon, and they ship UPS.

I've bought around $200 worth of DVDs from them, not a problem yet.

DVDPriceSearch includes NorthAmericanDVD in their search.

I remember the days when outpost.com used to have very cheap dvd's and sometimes coupons on the internet. Then they added free overnight shipping (for even a single $8 DVD)....

ah the days before the dotcom bubble burst.

Best Buy has Futurama Vol 3 for the same price as the lowest online quoted one: $29.99. At least here, anyway.

I couldn't refuse to purchase it... but I haven't opened it yet. Maybe my thrifty self will say no eventually and return it before I bust it open.

DeepDiscountDVD. Decent prices, but they lost my order once.

Plus, I got Futurama III for $30 with free shipping... on its way.

Amazon sells the 6th season of Sex and the City for $41.99 (Canadian) perhaps this site will have it cheaper.

Edit: Amazon is cheapest.

Oh, and Amazon's not the cheapest.

Buy.com
price $_32.35
shipping $_0.00
_
Amazon
price $_32.36
shipping $_0.00

All of you people listing other sites, this one searches MOST of them (perhaps ALL of them; all of them that matter, at least).

Thank you for the link. Currently my wife purchases from amazon.com, but it is nice to be able to compare.

Half.com?

Can usually find things 25% under retail in new or like new condition-have yet to buy a DVD from them and find it scratched or otherwise screwy. Besides, most of the people on half.com an eBay these days are retailers, so their stuff is generally perfect.

I know they're included in the search. Buy.com doesn't ship to Canada, much like many of those other websites. Amazon.ca is cheapest.
