Advantages: Nice design, great prices, regular sales and PlayTrade

Disadvantages: You might spend all your money there!

For me Play.com is THE place to buy your CDs, games and DVDs - better than HMV and better than Amazon!

Why? Well, like HMV, everything on the website is inclusive of delivery - so there's no unexpected charges added once you get to the checkout.

The prices on Play.com are also excellent, and most of the time Play will be the cheapest of the "big 3". These prices can be reduced even further if you purchase through a cashback website (such as Quidco).

But for me, the best feature is PlayTrade. PlayTrade allows you to list your unwanted items (CDs, games, books, DVDs etc) and sell them directly through the Play.com website. It's nothing you can't do on eBay, but it is SO much quicker to list an item on PlayTrade than it is to list it on eBay - no choosing a category and writing a keyword-filled title. Just find the item you've got on Play's website, click to sell, enter your price and you're done! Play takes care of all the payment aspects and deposits funds into your PlayTrade account. You can then either spend your earnings on the Play.com website, or you can withdraw it into your bank account, although the latter option charges you a 5% withdrawal fee.

The design of the Play.com website is much nicer and easier to use than Amazon and Play don't bombard you with emails like Amazon do.

If I'm looking for a new CD, game or DVD, then my first port of call is Play.com

Summary: A great website for buying and also for selling through PlayTrade
