UK Price Comparison Sites

Comparison shopping sites compare prices from a number of online shops. Many different types of goods can be compared, including books, music CDs, DVDs, PCs and electrical goods. They aim to find the product that the user wants and also to provide choice.  If you are not from the UK, visit the US / International price comparison page.
