I am an avid fan of music and bargains. When I can these two at the same time, I go for it.

Quick review of Powerplaydirect.com

I am with Direct Line and had to make a claim because my daughter damaged her IBM T42 laptop. PowerPlay Direct were in touch the next working day, picked up the laptop the following day and when I phoned two days later, told me the laptop was beyond economical repair and the very next day delivered a brand new Toshiba laptop which was just as good as the damaged one. Excellent customer service from both Direct Line and PowerPlay Direct - well done!!! ...

Review of Powerplaydirect.com

No contact number on website!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: No contact number on website

This company has an excellent website that looks good and draws you in, however, I ordered a game for my son for christmas on 19/12, it is showing as 'despatched' but it has not yet arrived. I've emailed 3 times and had no response. As another reviewer has said, there is no contact phone number on the site so you can't phone to find out where your order is. They have, however, shown up on my credit card statement! I have now sent a fourth email and ...
...unprofessional, and believe me, not worth using just to save a couple of pounds! There are many other online companies that sell the same things, are more reliable and have a telephone number you can call if you have queries. I ordered 50% of my gifts this year online, I only ordered one from this company. It is the only one not received. I certainly won't be using them again! ...

Powerplay.com - Powerplay or powerpay?

Advantages: Good Choice
Disadvantages: No Phone Support, Slow delivery, Unreliable email support

...bought a nintendo wii through powerplaydirect.com which cost £285. The ordering system was very simple and their site is user friendly whilst being very functional. My order took a while to process and it took over 6 days to deliver which seems rather long(even though it was free delivery). when my Nintendo Wii arrived,there was no phone number at all-there was just an invoice. The site has no phone number and email response times are terrible. ...
...to email them over 5 times until i got any sort of response. Furthermore,my brother also ordered from them and they mucked up his order and it took a full two weeks to get it fixed. Overall their prices seem reasonable but with no phone support,it does seem rather risky. I'm not sure if i will order from them again but i'm glad i managed to get my Wii from them. ...

Tom Forbes

Advantages: Superb service, prices & assistance
Disadvantages: Could not find a telephone number

...web details on the console & when I questioned this they merely changed the web details & apologised. They then contacted me further to ask why I had told them I would rather spend my money elswhere. POWERPLAYDIRECT.COM beats all these websites & many more on price alone. Tom Forbes ...

Review of Powerplaydirect.com

Quick review of Powerplaydirect.com

I came across PowerPlayDirect after searching trying to find the cheapest games for my new PS3. In this case they had both Resistance and Motorstorm £5 cheaper than anyone else at the time, making the price too good to ignore. So I ordered the games separately from the store that would be shipping my PS3. I got the PS3 a whole week before the games from PowerPlay, despite ordering the games a day before I ordered my PS3. I have no issues whatsoever with their prices or service. However I think they use a none major courier which means they incur a long delay on deliveries. I got my games cheap, I just had to wait. So the moral is use them if you want cheap, just don't expect next day Delivery. ...
