Certainly can.......
The old favourite play247.com have loads of cheapies at the moment.
www.futurent.com have been good for me.

www.dvdoo.dk (Danish but still R2) are mega cheap e.g.- T2 standard edition for £7 delivered. Natural Born Killers £7.50 . Life of Brian was £6!
These Aussie sites are outstanding - often get a delivery in 3/4 days. www.ezydvd.com.au
www.dvdcrave.com

http://www.dvdboxoffice.com is a personal fave of mine, check the exchange rates and see if its better to pay in canadian dollars rather than us and mayb save some more money

Nope - you have to wing it on the Danish site, but it's not that difficult. I don't speak Danish either.
"Tilbud" on the left frame means sale.
Postage to the UK is free.

Father Jack
I have gone onto the danish site, picked some DVDs got them into my basket. But cant work out how to pay by visa. Got the Visa button highlighted but then where do I go. If I put my email address in it complains I am not on the database I think.

Can you point me in the right direction.

Cheers
Steve

So you pick a DVD - click on K0B at the top (in orange), then til kassen (bottom left) is checkout,

on the next page choose Ny Kunde under 3.Login then fill in name, address, postnummer etc. once you do that you get to the next page where you can type in your Visa details.
Thats it.

I've bought 4 DVDs from them, anything between 3 days and a week to turn up........

btw time bandits is about six quid........

Just done a quick comparison for Shrek if anyone's interested. Buying it for the kids (honest ).

http://www.ezydvd.com.au was £14.32 inc p+p Region 2 & 4
http://www.dvdcrave.com was £13.65 inc p+p Region 4
http://www.play247.com was £15.99 inc p+p Region 1 & 2
http://www.dvdoo.dk was £24.91 inc p+p Region 1
http://www.dvdboxoffice.com was £14.96 inc p+p Region 1

Obviously exchange rates will vary.

Also, if you want to compare the different region versions

http://www.dvdcompare.org.uk

is really useful and has links to many of the sales sites already mentioned. Unfortunately the comparisons are down today
