Blackstar is not the cheapest by a long way.  Using the comparison
engines http://www.kelkoo.com and http://www.dvdbrain.co.uk turns up
many much cheaper options than Blackstar's £19.99.
http://bensons-world.co.uk (careful when copying the address, there is
apparently a porn site with a very similar http address - without the
dash, I think) currently sells the DVD for £12.99 with postage free in
the UK, for example, and seems to be the cheapest price currently on
offer for Revengers Tragedy on DVD.

This makes the DVD even cheaper than the PAL VHS video of Revengers
Tragedy, which sells for £14.35 at Bensons World and £13.59 at the
cheapest shop returned by the Kelkoo comparison engine
(http://www.choicesdirect.com , who are usually pretty competitive).

For book comparison engines try http://www.bookbrain.co.uk for new UK
books and http://www.bookfinder.com for second-hand books from around
the world (including the US and UK).  For new US books there is
http://www.addall.com , but as a UK purchaser I don't know the competing
services well enough to know if this is the best comparison engine for
new US books available, or whether there are other services that offer more.
