DVD Box Sets has been reviewed by the independent website review site, GreatWebsiteGuide.com, receiving a 10 out of 10 rating!

Here’s a quick quote from the review;

The DVD Box Sets website is clearly presented and simple to use with logical categories including action, drama, comedy, factual, film, Sci-Fi and TV. You will find all the most popular shows such as Gavin & Stacey, 24 and Heroes.

If you are a fan of the DVD Box Set then this excellent site is definitely worth a quick visit before you buy, as you will undoubtedly find a better price. The only problem is that you might end up buying more box sets than you originally intended!

We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new Blu Ray Box Sets site! The site is built on the same setup as we created for DVD Box Sets, as I’m sure you’ll notice, so it’s now easy to find the best deals on Blu-Ray sets as well as DVD.

To make things even easier, we’ve also added a handy feature to link both sites at a product level, so if a specific boxset is available on the Blu-Ray format we’ll include a link to it from this site, and vice versa…

We’re working hard to build up the back catalogue of Blu Ray Box Sets on the site, but as ever if there’s any boxsets you would like to see reviewed and compares please get in touch.

Thanks,
Greg

Monty Python Monster Box Set

The perfect remedy to the January blues! They say the best medicine for returning to work in the New Year is Monty Python (OK ‘they’ don’t, but we do!) the hilarious Monty Python box set, complete with inflatable parrot, has dropped to just £34.85 with TheHut.

We’re pleased to say that DVD Box Sets has been included in the latest issue (issue 229) of Web User Magazine! DVD Box Sets is featured in the ‘Best New Websites’ section. They had this to say about the site;

“A handy way to save money on your entertainment. You can compare the price of DVD box-sets at retailers including Amazon, HMV.com and Play.com, and click through to buy the cheapest. The range of titles is quite limited but the clear presentation and navigation make the site a pleasure to browse. It also provides extra content, such as a blog and newsletter, to make it more than a mere shopping tool.”

Thanks to Web User magazine for including us, and rest assured we are working hard to build the back catalogue of compared DVD Box Sets every day!
