Title: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: herthab on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 18:36:05 Can you play ordinary DVD's through them as well?
Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 18:41:01 Yes.

Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: herthab on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 18:41:56 Cool. Thanks.

Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 19:13:52 amazon are scamming people? seems unlikely. very unlikely.

I heard the number of dodger dealers was escalating, so they've taken steps to sort it out. Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players.

Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 19:16:00 I kid you not. Was on watchdog. They even bought some CS spray which is illegal to buy in the UK, and people have been sold various fake goods from the site.

Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 19:19:07 marketplace isnt really amazon though, its open like ebay. so past their perhaps slack regulation its down to the individual sellers.
Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: axs on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 20:39:57 I've never bought from a private seller on there.
Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 21:17:14 We bought something from a 'third party merchant' through Amazon. Turned up damaged. Company wanted us to pay 30 quid to ship it back. Told them to fuck off (politely) and issue is now with the Small Claims Court. Watchdog might get to hear about it if this action isn't successful.
Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 22:59:01 I've bought stuff on marketplace and it's been fine. I check the feedback like I do on ebay to try and minimise the risk of getting shafted.
Don't amazon protect your payment as part of the agreement anyway? i.e. if it's faulty or doesn't turn up you can claim a refund? Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players.

Don't amazon protect your payment as part of the agreement anyway? i.e. if it's faulty or doesn't turn up you can claim a refund? Yes, I believe they do. Title: Re: Blu-Ray Players. Post by: Batch on Wednesday, December 10, 2008, 13:06:53 I just got a Sony BDPS350, and I highly recommend it, Amazon was cheapest I believe. Just to point out this was Amazon selling it not a marketplace dealer. Never realised they Bluray players were getting so cheap. Not so long ago the PS3 was easily the best choice at about £299. Seems this standalone is only £155 with 3 free films too. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001DN1SP4 Lastly it can be made multiregion for normal DVDs (via all 4 1 remote) but is locked to region B for bluray. http://www.avforums.com/forums/blu-ray-dvd-players/832243-sony-bdp-s350-s550-s5000es-dvd-multi-region-hack-all4one-remote-forum-bike.html |
