I live in Estonia and there are very few `80`s and b-category movies in dvd and video shops here. So I started looking for internet shops. I have practically checked only amazon.co.uk and amazon.com and it seems that they make no delivery to a small country called Estonia. Could somebody please help me ???? What should I do ????

Well, first of all, What format does Estonia support? NTSC or PAL? I'd say try Ebay...some users won't ship overseas, but some will. Try there...

If you have a multi-region DVD player, try this site:

http://www.dvdpricesearch.com/

Type in a film name and it searches through a number of online DVD shops and returns the cheapest price - If you set the country you live in, the postage costs will be shown for you.

Well to be exact...... I have a PS2 with region 2 dvd-encoding and that region x-thingy..

And I looked the dvdpricesearch.com and have some questions....:
In Amazon.co.uk "Hellbound: Hellraiser 2" dvd costs 10£ and in dvdpricesearch.com the cheapest is about 12.92$, but "Sleepy Hollow" in Amazon is 16£, while in dvdpricesearch 8.74$....

I just want to ask, why the "Sleepy Hollow" prices are so variable?
It`s quite a new movie and I have heard (from horrordvds.com) it has a great dvd to. How could it be so cheap? Isn´t it by any chance some lousier dvd-release than the one in Amazon and reviewed by horrordvds?

And.... can I play US region 1 dvds on my multi-regional PAL PS2?

All the releases are 100% genuine. The company offering the cheapest price for this movie (DVDSoon) currently has it on sale, so it is a bit cheaper - I have ordered loads of DVDs from this company before, and they were all perfect.

I play US region 1 DVDs on my multi-regional PAL DVD player - they work fine. I did have problems years ago with my old TV, as it couldn't handle the frequency and displayed the movie in b&w - but my New(ish) TV is fine.

Well that problem is pretty much solved - I´m gonna buy through a friend in Finland, which puts Amazon back into list, but..............

..Now I have another problem - this internet shopping is new to me..... I am gonna get a card because of this movie shopping thing, but cause of some technical mumbo-jumbo, neither me, nor my parents could have a creditcard. We`ve decided to get a debet card (either Visa Electron, or Mastercard)
..................I just want to know, if these shops listed in DVD Price Search, like DVD Soon (especially DVD Soon), axept those debet cards.... Looking it up on the sites is pretty harsh (gotta order somethin, or something lke that) and I decided to ask some info from the people, who have bought from these shops.....

All those shops through DVDPriceSearch accept either VISA or MASTERCARD.

Amazon will deliver to Estonia. They will even knock the tax off the list price because they're just that nice. Or because they have to, one or the other.

Blackstar (http://www.blackstar.co.uk) deliver to Estonia, but are a bit pricey.

Since we (Estonians and the rest of R2) are running PAL systems, just like our dear Australian friends, you can play region 4 discs. I think most Australian sites will deliver to Estonia. Off the top of my head the only one I can remember ISwww.ezydvd.com.au

Forgive the lateness of my reply.
