Hello Forum,
As part of my research to setup a B2C site which is etailing DVD's, Music, Books & Games. I realized that other than getting my logistics into place, the other biggest problem I faced was getting relevant content for the website. As the entertainment industry is extremely Dynamic, there are new releases almost everyday, in different formats, edits & categories and this is the information which potenial buyers need before making a purchase descions. All the information is public domain, but you need someone who can put all this information together and give you a data feed, so that you can focus on selling, and not have to worry about, finding ways to populate your database with products.
During my research the following popped up as the best sources on the Internet. Some of them were even referred to me from this forum itself.
I hope the list below is of help to you all who wish to start a similar website which is retailing DVD, Music, Books & Games
