    Advantages Advantages Good Selection, Good Services, Good Customer Support

    Disadvantages Disadvantages High Prices On New Releases

    I first came across this site way back in the dark dark ages of the 20th Century somewhere in the region of 1998/99. I was desperately trying to find a video that had become obsolete in the UK and I was often seen in pawn shops or video shops looking through their old video selections trying to find it. For those interested the film is called “Streets of Fire” and I will do a review on this as soon as I get some time. I was getting desperate to try and find this video and did many searches on the title for the results to only tell me that you could only get this on US format VHS or ... more

    Blackstar (www.blackstar.co.uk) are the undisputed champions of online video sales – and it’s not hard to see why. Everything about the site is user friendly: navigation is simplicity itself, prices are competitive and the ordering simple and safe. Whereas Amazon sells DVD’s as a second string to their bow, Blackstar are the video specialists in DVD and VHS format. The home page explains everything in detail from searching, to the usual checkout, where they employ a secure server that encrypts your credit card details before being sent over the Internet. Unlike the vast ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great discounts. Excellent service. Delivery times always met. Quick and friendly customer service.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't think of any.

    I am an avid fan of Star Trek Next Generation. I only really got into it about 2 years ago when a friend lent me some videos. Once I'd watched a few I was hooked and was delighted to hear that Paramount were re-releasing all the Next Generation episodes on Video. There are 8 videos per season and there were seven seasons. I have bought every single one and I have just completed season 4. Why, I hear you ask am I telling you this?? Well I'd say 90% of my collection has been bought through Blackstar and now I will not buy from anyone else. As these videos are being re-released shops such as WH ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Prices can be beaten

    When looking to buy CD’s and DVD’s online my usual choices are CdWow and occasionally if the price is right DVD.co.uk but I’m always prepared to give others a go and with this in mind over the last few months I’ve used Blackstar.co.uk quite a lot and I thought it was about time to do a review on the site… Blackstar are a UK based company specialising in DVD’s, VHS tapes, computer and console games as well as some accessories. It delivers worldwide but only with UK addresses is delivery free. The Layout -------------- I tend to like uncluttered websites where the web designer’s hasn’t gone mad ... more

    Advantages Advantages The site itself is great, it offer agood choice of titles

    Disadvantages Disadvantages dishonesty, hidden costs, lack of communication

    There is one thing that really upsets me, when they let a good thing crumble and waste. I had been using Blackstar for an age (well in internet shopping years it is), it must be well over 2 years now. I was a loyal and regular shopper, I found it great for Christmas and gift shopping. I have spend many a hard earned penny on there site on both goodies for me and gifts for others. My addiction with the site started when i became a crazed Buffy fan and in the days when Buffy box sets were hard to come by in most conventional video shops, you could trust Blackstar to have them in stock and much ... more
