Advantages: They sell DVDS , not beds, They sent me a free DVD that cost £1.50

Disadvantages: They charged £1.50 for the free DVD!, Terrible that, really!

Bensons World? Never heard of them? Me neither, till the other night that was, when my friend asked me if I wanted a free copy of 'Night of the Living Dead', you know, one of the great Romero Zombie movies. They're well cool, so when I got the chance of getting this free on DVD I leapt at the chance.

It turns out that it isn't quite free, it costs £1.50. Still a bargain, although how £1.50 is free I don't know, they don't even claim it's for P&P. So if you fancy a free copy of this DVD head on over to,

Oh, and don't complain to me if it's not there anymore, no doubt it's a limited offer while stocks last or the such like (and it comes in a cardboard thing rather than a DVD case, unless that is you buy another DVD, then you get it in a plastic box which I suppose is the real thing, although I don't know cos I'm cheapy and went for the cardboard one, awards for the longest sentence greatfully accepted). That's the main reason for me writing the review, see if any of you fancy a free DVD that costs £1.50, but knowing how hard you Dooyoo lot are to please I better tell you a bit more.

Bensons World. When I heard that name I got an image of an old man selling beds. I don't know why, although I'm sure there is a Bensons World that sells beds, which would explain it. Anyway, whatever other enterprises have stolen the good name of this DVD site, accept no
fakes, this site is rather good!

I mainly like them because they gave me a nice cheap DVD, and to be honest I'll probably never go there again, because I don't buy many DVDs online (many = none). But if I ever did, which I won't, I think I'd go here.

They have lots of DVDs, probably the vast majority of all the DVDs ever released, although that's a total guess. Lets just say lots. And most of them rather cheap too. They had a special offer which l
ets you buy a large choice of DVDs for under a tenner. Cheap that is. Really, it's the same price as videos. Which are the same as DVDs, apart from a tacky documentary about how they made the film, which no one watches anyway. But of course, DVD's are great, everyone knows that, being a new technological advance and all that. Only a fool would see a problem in ditching trusty VHS and our collection of tapes, then spending money on a DVD player, and DVDs, all to enjoy a new level of movie entertainment (oh, sorry, I mean documentaries on how they made the movie).


Anyway, back to Bensons World. You choose a DVD, then you buy it. Simple really, like any other DVD site up until now. Ah, but I hear you cry, I don't own a credit card. Never fear, they take every type of plastic card you own, including Solo and Switch and probably even your Tescos Reward card. If you're unfortunate enough not to own one you can even post them a cheque, and I'm sure if you asked nicely you could post them a tenner too. For anyone suspicious of the internet, you can ring them too, and give them your card number that way (because phones are obviously much more secure - one time I must tell you the story of how you could listen in to phone calls on the old analogue mobiles!).

When you order your DVD you get a nice email from the site telling you that you've ordered. Just like every other site, but the nice thing is when they dispatch your DVD they send you an email too. Which means you know when to expect it, which is good. Postage and packing is also free, which makes a change from those sites which charge you £1 for a CD then £10 for postage.

And in keeping with the normal shopping procedure, they do send your DVD. Don't plan on a lie in thought, as unless you have a big letterbox the postman will probably knock on your door and wake you up.

Bensons World, not a dodgy bed shop but a decent DVD shop!
