A 'must visit' site for your Christmas Gifts

Advantages: Value for Money, Easy to Navigate, Reliable
Disadvantages: None

...toddlers, teenagers, parents or grandparents, Play.com is guaranteed to have something for everyone. The site is easy to navigate and well laid-out with bargains of the day or special offers clearly visible and always worth a browse. A great website offering a good array of quality gifts, most of which are better priced than the High Street. I am amazed, time and time again, when looking for the latest gadget or must-have toy for my children, that ...
...from Jersey and can sometimes be sent separately, if ordering more than one item from different categories. Overall, I would highly recommend Play.com if you're searching for a Christmas Gift for various people with differing interests; it always makes up the backbone of the shops I purchase from! ...

Review of Play.com

Slow - but reliable!

Advantages: Huge range of products! Great for a bargain and gadgets.
Disadvantages: Slow as most items ship from Jersey

...but for DVDs and Gadgets Play.com is one of my first stops. The catalogue is enormous and I'll often end up impulse buying while browsing the pre-orders and special offers. The gadgets section is incredibly addictive! My biggest criticism though is with said special offers as I've on a few occasions placed my order only for it to never dispatch or come back into stock. They could do with a stock system that is a little less delayed and doesn't let ...
...when they can no longer supply something. Still the one time they had taken my money for something like this they refunded within a few days of contacting them. In 8 years of ordering I've only had one thing go missing (a £3.99 DVD) but unlike most I don't blame the retailer, it's Royal Mail who were at fault. The process for sorting this out was entirely online and very simple to do once the time had elapsed. Overall - an excellent retailer who ...

Review of Play.com

Not delivered, refund takes over 1 month

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: they have taken my money and not provided the game. Have to wait over 1 month for refund

play.com failed to deliver Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on the release date. They advertised delivery on release date. Despite making numerous phone calls, (a total of 48 minutes) I still do not have the game. I was told they would provide a full refund when I called on on 14th Nov 09. Then on 16th Nov 09, called again to ensure the refund had been processed. I was then told I will have to wait till 6th Dec 09 before I can apply for a refund, which ...

Review of Play.com

Best online retailer for games!

Advantages: Great site with very cheap prices
Disadvantages: Delivery time

...have been a customer of play.com for a least two years now and they are hands down the best retailer for movies, CD's and games around. It is so simple to purchase items, all you do is click on buy then login and pay. There are no hidden delivery charges and there are no "extra" payments required for thing you don't even require. Even without these tricks which are wielded by many other companies you still get great prices and if you want to check ...
...to add shipping charges to prices from other sites!). Please note that the items do come from Jersey which means that delivery does take around five days maximum and sometimes if there are postal strikes the time required for the parcel to reach your house can peak at ten days. Therefore I wouldn't recommend this site for last minute buying but if you are looking for something that is much cheaper then this site is the way to go. The site itself ...

Review of Play.com

Fast and Excellent Service in all things electrical!

Advantages: Fast, Reliable, Cheap
Disadvantages: Can be tedius waiting for your product to arrive, even with fast delivery

Play.com is the best online video and electrical store I have come across. The way in which the website is set out means that quick and easy navigation to your required product is a breeze. Simply hover the mouse above games and you are instantly given a list of every console for which they stock games, allowing you to go straight to what you want. I'm quite a casual gamer, so I don't usually buy games the day they come out, as I prefer to wait ...
...online stores such other than play.com to sell that product on their website. This often leads to cut prices as stores compete to be the cheapest. For example FIFA 10 was available for Playstation 3 for a mere £29 within a couple of weeks of being released. This is outstanding value for money, as in most stores it is still around £40, so thats a saving of over 25%. Not only does play.com offer great services on video games, but it also sells dvd's, ...
