Play Music Games DVDs

This is an amazing shop. With a huge range of music, DVDs, CDs and vinyls both new and old. If you are looking for something old or out there, Play is the place to go. With everything from documentaries to animé you will always find something good. And if you can’t find it on the shelves, the friendly staff will help you out. Either by locating it for you or doing a little research to let you know if they can get it in for you.

Definitely the place for impulse buyers! A great range of DVDs and BluRays, particularly stuff not available through the boring retail world of JB, etc.
The staff are knowledgeable, and just happen to be interested in the same type of movies as me, so that makes it a bit easier. I live outside Melbourne, so always try to visit when I’m there.

Depending on what you have in mind, this store is both hit and miss.
For nostalgic DVDs, and DVDs that you wouldn’t usually find, play has
in spades. It somewhat serves as a big garage sale for Cd’s; and that
being said, you can usually pick up some unexpected gems, that you
wouldn’t find elsewhere in the major record stores. Generally speaking,
play sells very recent music releases which for the most part is cheaper
than other stores currently selling the said new release.
Sure you could trawl the Internet aimlessly for hours, and you may happen
to find a lot of things you want, but then you have to bandy about with credit
cards, inordinate waiting times for download and finally delivery. This is
theplace to pick up some surprises, with some spare change, safe in the
knowledge that you have the product instantly. Instant access to physical
releases.
Staff are unobtrusive, but in good manner nevertheless.
I like this store because i like human contact, and are not eking out some metaphysical existence on the Internet.

Play would be really awesome, if it were still 1997. As it is, it’s just a bit weird. A secondhand CD and DVD store? Who sells their CDs and DVDs? They’re so cheap to buy these days. Besides, you can probably import them from somewhere or cut out the middleman and just browse on eBay.
But I had a look anyway, and did my due dilligence, and it pretty much fulfilled my expectations. There’s some straight-​to-​video style DVDs, but nothing incredibly tacky. There’s a small range of CDs, but enough that you might pick up something you like. It’s cheap enough and the staff are nice (well, they’re uninterested and apathetic. What I like in my servicefolk.)

Play gets the award for being the closest CD shop to the Palace Theatre. This is definitely its greatest feature. Not because it’s bad, or anything, but because I walk past the Palace with all its posters and then find myself wandering into Play to grab a copy of the CD. This hard-​copy music addiction is why I’m poor.
They sell a range of really well priced games and consoles, a mix of second hand and new. I’m not a gamer, my «mad gaming skillz» lie only in button mashing and the occasional game of Wii Lego Star Wars, so I’m not able to comment authoritatively on the game selection. Looks purdy, though, so it’s probably worth a looksee.
