Where do you buy Tartan DVDs?

[slayer666]

I looked at my local Wal-Mart without any luck. Any online retailers you'd recommend?

I've ordered a ton of stuff from DeepDiscountDVD, and my complaint is that I can never tell whether a DVD is Tartan or not until it arrives.

From the DVDs I've ordered, they usually have a picture of the case. It's small, but you can make out the Tartan logo. I'm positive that they don't sell bootlegs, so you could just look up all Tartan releases, and find out what they have that way.

Yeah, I need to start doing that anyway. Most of what I've been about to order on eBay seems to have a Tartan release too, so I'm not going to order any more from eBay until I check.

Hastings -- Sometimes you luck out and find them on the "buy one used and get another for a penny" rack. I've found a few like that.

I havent bought any, but theres a pretty good sized section of them in CD Plus

I have been buying several Tartan Asia Extreme discs off of eBay. Quite a bit cheaper than I seem to be able to find them for elsewhere, and no problems so far.

I think it must be a Scotish company, not just because it is called Tartan, but since I have been living in Scotland I see them everywhere. And I had never heard of them before.

Tartan Films, established in 1982[1], is a United Kingdom-based film distributor. It also owns the United States-based Tartan U.S.A. and Tartan Video. They are known for distributing Asian films, especially those in the horror and thriller genre, under their banner Tartan Asia Extreme and also, more recently, they have gained a reputation for releasing horror movies of other origin under their new brand, Tartan Terror.

i saw tartan videos for sale in a US electronics store once (cant remember the name) but i've never seen them in Canada - other than the used DVD stores.
I grab them whenever i see them.
