Bags fall apart eventually though

You could be the owner if you like, it'd probably cost you a £1.

Horrific for the environment.

Luckily I will be storing them and will not dispose them.

a part time job is fine :)

Asda and Tesco have said that if you bought an HMV gift card from one of their stores and have proof of purchase, such as a receipt, you can exchange it for one of their own.

Nightclubs, Gamestops and Restaurants over here are taking them, over 100 stores I read somewhere.

Light at the end of the tunnel I guess, but I'd rather it was more music-oriented :(

Didn't they ultimately collapse because they had too many stores..

There's a few HMV's who are having sit in's here.....they're getting quite a lot of media exposure too...

They sold off Gamestation, and apparently are doing quite well again now. Can't imagine that'll last long.

Oh sorry didnt read that last paragraph....woopsie

HMV could somewhat do really well again with a smart buyer, and trying harder to match Amazon with prices

It's weird cause HMV is always packed whenever I go in there

It's the end of an era. I've been going to HMV for such a long time! :bawling:

They really need to improve their online service... they offer free delivery which is good, but the website is difficult to negate and isn't really modern.

And they dont have a euro converter :bored:

the HMV speed of delivery is the best for me

can't believe play has died as well, Amazon really don't have any rivals anymore so it would be good if HMV survived and improved their online service

I don't really have any sympathy for Blockbuster when they could have easily rivalled Lovefilm/Netflix with an online service with the amount of customers they already have

Yeah I loved Play. :(

Happy they got what they were owed.

heroes? :suspect:

Yeah bit OTT alright

Play.com hasn't died has it? :suspect:

It's still classed as Play.Com but it;s a different company now called Radouken. I don't think they do bargains like they did :sad:

Oh yeah, it still seems pretty much the same though, never really noticed a change just thought they revamped their website :tongue:

Repped.

If record companies are willing to accept a few quid profit on downloading music what's HMV's problem with charging 17-21 euros - whatever that is in your crazy Queen money - for a new album? Printing CD's and manufacturing jewel cases doesn't cost that much.

Years now of making a mug of their customers and they still couldn't make a mint. It's the sign of a failed, shitty business model

It's sad to see a good browsing spot gone from the high street. I would love to have grown up in that age where record labels and stores were as important as the artists you were buying, but it's not happening. It's also sad to see so many of my friends out of work. I worked there for awhile and it's an awesome little job to have when you're in your early twenties being up to your neck in CD's and DVD's all day.

The focal point of our town is seemingly Dealz now. And that's a-okay with me. Cheap Toblerones are way more important than getting Drive, Brick and Planet Terror for a million quid.
