    always shop around for the best price

    play.com and cdwow are both good
    it's also worth checking simplygames and amazon.co.uk out while you're at it... you have to factor in postage costs for the last 2 though

    ...and you'll generally save an extra euro or so if you select the UK version of CDwow when you are ordering as the exchange rate currently works out better for us. You can still use the same details and Irish delivery address even though you ordered in GBP.

    Not sure if the same trick works on play.com, but there seems to be more of a difference in their GBP and EUR prices though.

    cdwow and play both have free delivery which can be really nice, esp since anything on ebay you will have to add 4-5eur! i have often bought a game for 1 eur only to have to pay 5eur delievery lol

    i agree with the above ^ , i always bought in €uros from play but decided to test out buying in £ british pounds after reading a thread on boards .

    so i bought a dvd for £6.99 ( it was €11.49 on the €uro price list ) my credit card was charged €10.20 for the dvd , which was a saving of €1.29 :eek: just on a £ 6.99 dvd.

    I've always gone to e-bay. The check the shipping costs first then what payment they prefer.
