That list hasn't been updated since December 10th. Does anyone know of a similar site to DVDPriceSearch for Region 2 DVDs which lets you search by price range per store?

I would have to say Glengarry Glen Ross although the transfer is poor or Jeffrey both 9.99 each. These I think are not available in R1.

Just to say that the pages mentioned have now been updated so that they will be online either later today or by first-light tomorrow ... although today is more likely.

Best wishes,

Mark.

Pete:

A 'new additions' feature has requested before and although technically a possibility it would require a reasonable amount of development time because the data that is pulled from the Amazon site isn't actually archived locally when the updated pages are generated. Thus, the current scripts have no way of knowing what is 'new' plus there are other issues such as when a DVD changes price and (say) moves from the £9.99 page to the £12.99 page is it then a "new addition" or not? These issues have kept such a feature from being developed and there are no current plans to do so unfortunately. Sorry.

pmwhelan:

The update did go ahead. I haven't looked for national lampoon's but if it is not there then it either didn't get transferred across or somehow it fell through the cracks. (?!) My reference was that the Jaws DVD (on sale at £14.99) appeared on the appropriate page as did a number of other newly discounted titles. Again, sorry for a lack of perfection but that 'last 5%' is the time we don't really have to develop and refine the scripts further.

Thanks for the above feedback though - these are good issues to raise and do give us things to consider for the future.

Best wishes,

Mark.
