In Reply to: UK R1 DVD Buyers Warning **IMPORTANT** posted by Harry.S on March 09, 2002 at 13:35:12:
...I've been considerng getting my DVD player chipped so I could get Region 1 V-A DVD's, and I probably would've got them from Ringo's if you hadn't stepped in. Are there any other reliable online stores where Region 1 DVD's are available (and not too pricey)?
: Ringo's is a site I know a few UK people on here buy their import DVDs from. DO NOT order from them, they have ceased trading and the whereabouts of the owner is unknown. At first I thought this was viscious rumour but apparently its true, its been mentioned in a special announcement on the DVD Forums and discussed in depth on uk.media.dvd, the site hasnt been updated for some time now, something which I have been suspicious of for a few days.
: Apparently the owner is in huge debt, if you have ordered from them in the past I would advise that you check your account periodically for a few weeks to make sure of no dodgy activity, obviously we are all fully covered under UK Law but just keep an eye on it.
