"This is just the beginning of a long-term plan to be the UK's leading internet superstore," said Murray Hennessy, chief executive of buy.com.

Buy.com, for example, is selling a Kodak DC215 digital camera for £219.95 against Dixons' online price of £249.75.

The retailer has more than 2.3 million customers in the US and plans to launch in France and Germany in the coming months.
