Advantages: Very fast pre-orders

Disadvantages: No right click function, search needs to be improved

Movietyme is a website selling region 1 DVD's, electronics and games. Sometimes I want to get the best edition of a particular DVD, or maybe a cheaper game that I can get over here, this is where sites like this come in. I have VLC media player on my computer which plays any DVD regardless of it's region and the DS games I buy are region free, so will play on any DS.

The site is laid out Ok, not the best but adequate. It has a lot of information about their products but I think that amazon lays it out in a more clearer way. You also can't right click on any part of the site, which means you can't copy and paste any information, which I agree is only a minor annoyance. I think the search function could be better as well, as the results only come up as a little drop down-like menu with no other information. Again, I feel amazon is better.

A big plus for me about this site is the speed at which they handle pre-orders. Any DVD that I want that I can pre-order from movietyme I will order straight away. I've had orders dispatched two weeks before the release date! And as they usually arrive relatively quickly (you do have to pay £1 for expedited shipping) you'll have it quicker than anyone else. Excellent if you can't wait for a particular release. To me, all the negatives of this site are well worth it considering how good they are at this.

This is probably one of the best sites out there for your region 1 needs. I have never had any trouble with deliveries failing to turn up, and they all arrive with no dents or bumps. As they ship from America there is a chance you could get hit by customs but that's never happened to me. Overall a very good site, perhaps not the best laid out site, but I would recommend them to any family or friends.

Summary: If you want a region 1 DVD that hasn't been released yet, get it here!
