The prices there are likely to be the highest. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I don't think I know anyone in Europe who has a DVD player that isn't multi-region or at least region-free. miguel -- Hit The Road! Photos and tales from around the world: http://travel.u.nu |

JG wrote: Suggestions for shopping for DVDs in downtown Chicago... In the Loop, there's Tower Records on Wabash St. just south of Adams. The elevated railroad goes right past it. There's another Tower on the North Side, on Clark Ave., I think. Someone else has already mentioned the Virgin Megastore which is on Michigan Ave. just north of the river. However, prices tend to be high at both Tower and Virgin, by U.S. standards. You'd probably save money by ordering via the Web from places like dvdempire.com. I've heard that even Tower's Web site towerrecords.com often has lower prices than their own stores. You have to pay for shipping, but you don't have to pay the sales tax, probably about 8% for Chicago, as you do when you buy in person. When I buy DVDs in person, I look first in large electronics "superstores" such as Best Buy and Circuit City, because they have lower prices than most other stores, except the on-line ones. I don't know if there are any such stores close to downtown Chicago; they're usually out in the suburbs and hard to reach by public transportation. Also, they're good for mass-market movies and TV productions, but not very good for specialist material such as opera. -- Jon Bell Presbyterian College Dept. of Physics and Computer Science Clinton, South Carolina USA |

I've never bought a DVD, but I can provide addresses for the stores
already mentioned: Tower Records, Wabash at Adams. Under Wabash/Adams Brown Line station; one block from Red Line Jackson station. Tower Records, Clark at Belden. On 22 or 36 bus lines. Virgin Megastore, Michigan at Ohio. On 146 or 151 bus lines; two blocks from Red Line Grand station. Best Buy, Marcey at Clybourn. One block northwest of Red Line North/Clybourn station. Circuit City, North at Sheffield. Two blocks west of Red Line North/Clybourn station. |
