Page 1 of Anywhere in Central London For R1 Dvd`s??

Hello

Has anyone tried the Tottenham Court Rd area of London for R1 dvd titles?

Or maybe any other recommended shops in central London would be appreciated - perhaps a very cheap place for R2 stuff as well?

Don`t think you`ll have any joy from any retail type outlet in the UK for R1
titles. It is illegal for them to sell them to you (haven`t been through the
BBFC for certificates/cuts etc). Some shops will allow some sort of personal importation orders but I suspect the cost will be much higher than direct buying from the `net. Personally, I`d stick to ordering from reputable suppliers (e.g. www.dvdboxoffice.com, www.play247.com or even dare I speak it www.Amazon.com). I use dvdboxoffice (cheap, but can take 2 weeks to arrive)

Cheers

Stand corrected SN you can buy R1 movies from Computer Exchange. There are two branches, the first being on TCR and the second just around the corner (cannot remember name of the road). If you pop into the branch on Tottenham Ct Road, they`ll tell you where the 2nd branch is. Note that they are 2nd hand but they more often than not have loads of fab titles....

thanks friend - i`ll give them a try.

Anyone got an address or telephone number for Comnputer Exchange on TCR?

Wot r thier average price on R1 & R2 dvd`s?

The TCR CEX USED to sell R1`s, then they flogged the lot at really low prices and no longer do it.

boo-hiss.

Ok ruff 1. you got me! I stand slightly corrected (does that mean on one leg - arr, Jim lad...ooops).

There are a few computer markets which run on Saturdays in the Tot Ct rd/Warren st. area, (signs everywhere) at least two.

They sell latest R1 dvds, usually a lot earlier that official US release date, but they usually cost about £17-20 not cheap compared to web, but if its speed you want...
