Oh wow. Looks like Playusa have closed their doors again without warning or notice. Pity, I even had some pre-orders with them. -_-

Oh even better, they charged me on order and now their customer service addresses are bouncing back. Guess it's time to file a claim with PayPal's resolution centre.

Heh, I didn't even know they had reopened, never mind re-closed.

Yeah, looks like it was the same crowd who run DVD Pacific. Very similar emails, same legal tags at the bottom and very similar pricing. They weren't a fake site, got multiple items from them but have just vanished without warning...

At least you paid using PayPal...but boy, that sounds pretty darn crafty, to not only leave customers unaware, but to charge them.

It could just be a technical problem - if the site was down emails might bounce also.

playusa.com is on the same name servers as play.com but is a cname of playusa.directtoustore.com (c/v http://dvdpacific.directtoustore.com), which does not resolve to an IP.

Might be worth contacting dvdpacific@directtoustore.com
