Why are movies so expensive to purchase from the Virgin Store?   The three movies I wanted to watch are double the cost of those being sold in supermarkets!

Convenience factor?

Saves visiting a shop for stuff that's not "essential" too...

It appears VIrgin Media are cashing-in on people having to stay indoors!  As supermarkets are selling film DVD's and if you have to go to one its a no-brainer.

Eg. I wanted to buy Downtown Abbey 2019 film at Christmas.  Virgin Store £10.99 - Morrisons £5.99

Not happy about these prices differences at all.

I don’t understand why you are not happy. You’ve done the comparison. Now, make your choice.

You don't have to use virgin store.

Unfortunately being in my 70's and listed as vulnerable I am unable to go to the supermarkets to buy reasonably priced DVD's. I have my groceries delivered but am unable to purchase DVD's on 'Groceries on-line.

Hi what about Amazon and Ebay they have very competitive prices. Regards Micky

I was a bit put off buying from ebay as I have previously purchased 2 DVD films from there.  One new one which I believe was a pirate, and one second hand one that kept sticking!  I will give it one more try though.

Hi again buy only new so Amazon will be better than Ebay who do sell new, I agree don't buy used as you have found they are not looked after. Regards Micky

Hi.  Yes, so back to square one!  Amazon movies far to expensive for me to purchase, second-hand DVD's bit doubtful.  So, I will have to wait for the films I wish to see to be shown on the TV, or Amazon charge realistic prices.
