I have been using play.com and their Marketplace for years - both extremely reliable with free delivery. Nothing ever went missing and all orders to Malta never took longer than 8 days. At least they are keeping their Marketplace which DOES deliver to Malta. Never succeeded with amazon's marketplace which treats Malta as third world.

Fear not my friends, I get all my DVDs and games from : www.sendit.com and www.blahdvd.com - they are both identical to play.com.

I find play.com much more reliable and faster deliveries to malta and also in my opinion much cheaper then eBay.

For books at good prices with free delivery you can use www.bookdepository.co.uk

I've bought dozens of books from them over the years and whenever there was a problem they were always quick to make things right.

Pity, we bought many items from play.com and are spot on with their deliveries to Malta & much much cheaper then local shops cutting the middleman out,.

I have been purchasing dvds, cds and books from play.com for quite a number of years now and I have literally bought hundreds of items. But, as I understand, this website is not closing down, merely we can still buy from their marketplace, something which is in place already. In fact, I have sometimes found a similar item to that I wanted which was cheaper from a marketplace supplier.

I have been purchasing online since 1996 starting with amazon.com (books,CDs) now you can get anything you want online. Any problems that cropped up have always been solved by either a refund or a replacement item being sent. Recommend mobilefun for any thing to do with mobiles ,smartphones, tablets etc; last week I sent order and 22 hours later it was delivered. How is that for service !

there is also quite a good website, and often I purchased games etc at a better price than play.com. Even though you have to pay for the shipping, it worked out to be cheaper, or the same price as Play, and much faster. www.shopto.net

Websites like this one have been springing up like mushrooms but thank you play.com for being of such wonderful service in the meantime.

Am sure this news brings joy to Grace, who wanted the government to block access to this website... Now she has more reason for day light robbery, in charging 40 euro for a blue ray DVD! Guess i'll have to find other ways of purchasing DVD's. Might switch to itunes or movieberry and download them direct to harddisk. But there is no way that i'm purchasing movies from Maltese stores!
