Page 1 of Play USA...

I know this should be in the Retailer Forums, but I just want a quick answer to a question (or viewpoint, as it probably varies for each different person) :)

How long does it take for a R1 DVD to be delivered?

I know that with Play ordering an R2 DVD on a Monday morning would see it delivered either on Wednesday or Thursday. But I take it PLAY USA are based in America now so it will take longer?

Reason being, I`ve just ordered my first R1 DVD in a long time this morning. I`m not too keen on NTSC, but I`ve learned how to live with it (rehab is a wonderful thing). Eraser is the DVD I ordered, as I haven`t seen it uncut, ever. Should be cool, as I liked the butchered VHS version, and the R1 has over 3 minutes of extra violence 8)

Last time I ordered a R1 from Play, it was shipped from Canada and took about 5 days to arrive. I don`t think the launch of the separate PlayUSA site has changed anything regarding how R1 discs are shipped.

By the way, you could have got the Aussie R4 version if you wanted Eraser uncut and in PAL... bit late now, I suppose ;)

Mike G, I think it was your R1 review that is on this site ;)

I want a few more R1 titles. I looked at Michael DVD and knew that R4 was uncut, but I went with R1. I`ve never ordered an R1 from Play before. So if it gets shipped today (it`s packing at the moment) I should get it by Friday?

I`m quite excited to see Eraser uncut. I didn`t see it in the cinema when it was only cut by 30 seconds to get an 18 certificate (I s*** you not, it had to be cut just to be shown in this country). Then the VHS version was sodomised down to a 15 rating, which looks like an ITV edit of the early nineties. What was the point???

By the way, Mike, what is the violence like?
I read the reason the BBFC edited it is because the hero is shown to be too brutal. Is this true? (if so, 8) can`t wait :D )

first disc i had shipped by play usa got 2 me in about 2 days(mon-wed) and was already in stock....

my copy of cradle 2 the grave has been in packing since yesterday so this is taking slightly longer..... :(

I don`t expect them to work at the weekend (although they have shipped stuff at the weekend for me before). But two days? That`s fast :)

update on cradle 2 the grave it shipped 2day?

puzzeled like you thought they didn`t do sundays!

Yeah, mine has been shipped today as well :)
Maybe it was shipped yesterday, and the computer has only updated it now???

I`m not complaining though 8)

I got Eraser yesterday (Wednesday). Pretty good :D

Although it came from Belgium. Play are all over the place. 8)

Sometimes your order arrives BEFORE the release date got Head of State on saturday 9 Aug (release date 12 Aug) I must give them their due they can be very good!

Yeah, I get that when I order R2 DVD`s from Play (I usually receive it on the Saturday when it is officially released on the upcoming Monday). I haven`t tried pre-ordering an R1 from them though.
