    Question BlackStar - Any Good?

    Just seen this on BlackStar:

    http://www.blackstar.co.uk/video/item/7000000086121

    Which is over £2 cheaper than Amazon (free postage). Anyone ordered from them before (preorders)? Are they any good?

    Thanks

    I used to use them alot a few years back, before I found play.com and got a dvd player. I used to preorder every Buffy and Angel boxset. They used to always deliver on or avery close to the release date and never a bad price.

    Always used to use them before the likes of Play came around. Never any problems, nice fast delivery and by following the following link, you can get an extra £3 off:

    Bought a single DVD off them a while back, no problems and it was delivered promptly, so you should be fine.

    Yeah, Black Star are tops. Play and Black Star are all you need, although Play seem a little cheaper, and have free postage.
