Advantages: Free delivery, good prices, playtrade.

Disadvantages: Restricted delivery options

Play.com is an online retailer of Dvds, books, music and the likes. It boasts free delivery on everything, and cheap prices.

A very wide selection of products are available, and since they are stationed in Jeresey they can offer tax free products (or reduced atleast), which means that it is very cheap.

It can deliver free deliverry on everything, which is a good service, but the problem is, you can only choose that type of delivery, which means that there is no choice if you want first class delivery, as the delivery isn't first class.

Like amazon.com, play.com has a second hand shop, called playtrade, which can be found through the 'used and new' price below the main price on a product page. This is a very good service, as it allows you to get a cheap price for a good product. It is also free delivery.

Compared to amazon, the delivery options feel restricted, and the prices range from better to worse, so it will pay to check both sites.

Summary: A good online retailer that is very reliable.
