HMV

My local HMV is now a Poundland.
Talking of Amazon - HMV had a greater share of the UK market than Amazon last year for physical and downloaded music and films. I guess it's all that pesky tax...
Yep, they're refusing to honour gift vouchers today so I guess the writing's on the wall, actually gave them til the end of the month.
I will certainly miss them if they go. I do love the ability to browse (properly- not online) through the CDs, DVDs and Blu-Rays. They are more expensive than online but I prefer the hands on approach as I come across items I may not have considered / seen online. But then I'm in the minority I guess...
putting a huge tax hikes on on home computers.

Just read that the current CEO was the previous CEO of Jessops. The Finance Director is former CFO of Best Buy Europe & previous CEO was former COO of Comet. A non-executive director if former Group FD of Woolworths and another was also a NED at JJB Sports.

Of course that isn't a workable option, but something needs to be done...
Even my little business is being hit by the onliners. Why bother picking up a phone or emailing me their requirements when they can get it all in one shop, without getting off their fat ar***
Now confirmed. Full statement: http://www.whathifi.com/news/hmv-confirms-it-is-going-in-to-administration
Think it will be a sad day when the high street will be filled with Starbucks / Costa / Cafe Nero, charity shops and Poundland type junk stores. Looks like we're heading that way though doesn't it?
It's been a few years since i went into an HMV, they were offering good deals on dvd's but the blu-ray's were £5-£10+ more & i thought i'm not interested in dvd's & the blu-ray's are just to expensive compared to amazon, so i just gave up going to HMV & shopped at amazon instead, i'll be sorry to see HMV go though, i suppose it's a case of use it or lose it.
Well the website is back up and now they’ve got “Click and collect”….at last (oh, and a 25% off blue cross sale).
Their Website appears to be down as well.
