This thread is for the listing of DVD Price Comparison websites and Online DVD Stores. The lists are updated periodically as old sites change or die, and new sites appear.
I've also added links for a couple of sites that detail voucher codes, which may be useful in saving you a couple of quid in your purchasing.
I am not affiliated with any of the sites listed below. The sole purpose of this thread is to create a useful repository for us folk who like buying DVDs.
Price Comparison Sites
These sites allow you to enter a DVD title and then return the prices of the title at a selection of online stores. Whether or not these comparison sites are affiliated with or sponsored by certain stores is not known, but it is recommended that you try a couple out and find the one that gives the best (or widest ranging) results. My personal favourites are Find-DVD for R2 and DVD Price Search for R1. DVD Plaza's search is also good for R4. 123PriceCheck also looks interesting for R2, as they include stores not normally included by other search comparison sites (such as the BBC Shop, Currys, Dixons etc).
I haven't found a decent site for comparing East Asian (R2J, R3, R6 and R0) DVD site prices yet, so if you find one, reply to this thread.
Please note: On occasion, the prices can be listed wrongly on the comparison sites. When you click through to your chosen website, it is possible you may see a different price. This is pretty rare, but can happen when, for example, multiple editions of the same DVD are released.

Voucher Code Sites
These sites list vouchers / coupons for various DVD stores (as well as other outlets), and do not require any subscription. I make no guarantees as to whether any featured codes will work, but once you've found your cheapest online stores, it's worth checking one or more of these to see if you can get another wee bit off the price.

Online DVD Stores
I have checked all sites below and confirmed that they all ship to the UK. Many stores based in other countries that do not ship to the UK have been omitted. All sites are in English, unless otherwise stated. If you are not multi-lingual, you'll need a translation site open whilst using non-English international websites. Here's a couple:
Google Translate - http://translate.google.com/?hl=en#
Yahoo Babelfish - http://babelfish.yahoo.com/
I've tried to split the online store sites into three categories: Recommended and Awaiting Recommendation and Avoid. This is not a perfect rating system, but it's based on a combination of website reviews, Empire forum members' opinions and personal experience. It is open to change, so if you have had particularly positive or negative experiences with any of the listed sites, please feel free to post to this thread and share your experience. One vote may not necessarily change the recommendation level, as regular DVD buyers will know you can have the odd bad experience at generally good stores, and vice versa.
Recommended sites are large well known stores with a generally good track record, or are smaller stores that have received positive remarks from multiple site members.
Awaiting Recommendation sites may have either not been recommended by Empire users, or have received mixed positive and negative remarks, so no clear rating can be applied.
Avoid sites are rare, but they're the ones that receive multiple negative remarks, and little to no positive remarks.
So... once you've found your best price, you'll need to register at the relevant store site (if you haven't already) and make your purchase.
