Hi All,

Just a warning on Play.coms free delivery to Ireland. To deliver to Ireland, it's compulsory on the site that you have to buy in Euro's. I calculate Play's compulsory Euro/Sterling rate to be approx 0.71, which is well below the 0.91 that my credit card company recently charged me.

Example:

I've just bought a DVD box set from HMV at Stg £13.99 + Stg £2.50 delivery charge to Ireland. My credit card took care of the Euro/Sterling conversion and it worked out costing me €18.00 in total. I've just checked that a DVD package that's on Play.com advertised at Stg £13.99 with free delivery will end up costing you €18.49 (ie the compulsory exchange rate ads more than HMV's £2.50 delivery cost).

I'm not saying disregard Play.com when buying things, but just take this compulsory rate into account when shopping around.

Hope you find this of interest.
