DVD Price Search Engines
Hi all.
I'm just wondering what the best DVD price search engine out there is.
I just use Pricegrabber (http://dvdtalk.pricegrabber.com/index.php) but I have to imagine there is a better one out there. So post the one(s) you use.
Pricegrabber doesn' thave the most sites listed but it is nice that it lists shipping and tax estimates if you enter your zip code.

The best, by far, is DVD Price Search
DVD Talk's price-search engine appears to be just a branded version of Price Grabber, so that's not much help if you're looking for something different than what you've been using.

I don't like DVD Price Search's user interface. All their links are javascript, which means I can't use my middle mouse button to create a new tab in Mozilla. It's a lot faster to create new tabs and click on a tab than to click on the back button and have it reload by re-requesting the page.

i use dvdtalk's search because when you click on the links you are benefiting this site. and as we all use the site i think we should bring in as much revenus as possible.

www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk and www.happyhunter.com are good to compare across regions...

I like DVD Price Search not only for finding the best prices, but for their format of bi-weekly new release announcements (Mon. & Thurs.) as well as the drop-downs of various release days. Rarely does a day go by that I don't visit at least once.

DVDPriceSearch is simply invaluable.
