Advantages: Easy-to-use, competitve prices and quick deliveries.

Disadvantages: Playtrade can be unreliable.

Play.com really is an excellent place to shop. Typically before Play.com was launched I used to always use both Amazon and Ebay for purchasing online goods. Play.com has I believed become a part of the trilogy with Amazon and Ebay and is an excellent website in many respects.

The first advantage rather like Amazon is that it offers very cheap prices making it possible to buy a bargain and get a product much cheaper than in the stores.

With my experience when buying a product the delivery time has always been correct and very fast. The delivery is free which is excellent and the range of products that Play.com has to sell is diverse, which gives consumers a large choice when purchasing new products. I think the site layout adds to its appeal and that it improves the shopping experience as a whole. There is also a new ticket section which I have not yet used but it looks really good. That is something that Play.com will hold over its rivals and looks to be a really positive feature that I can see myself looking at in the future.

The second major benefit is that it has 'Playtrade', this allows you to buy preowned products which is an excellent feature. It allows you to if you wanted, to get some products even cheaper. I mean if it is cheap prices that you are after this will definately be very useful to you.

Overall I would say that this is an excellent site that is easy-to-use and offers competitve prices, which is just what we need at a time like this. Thank you for reading and I hope you found it useful.

Summary: An excellent website that gives the consumer a variety of choice.
