HMV enters administration again
 

The second time in 6 years. Pray for HMV </3

A decent shop. Ffs the amount of clothing stores and cafes but this is different and original

I like HMV but lbh it's selling point is DVDs/CDs and who uses them anymore

I still love HMV. Love browsing. I still buy vinyl and blu ray. Gutting news and hope they can get out of it again.

Whenever I go into a HMV theyre always really busy

2,200 jobs at risk as HMV on brink of administration

Yes --sad news if the final stores close

I used to love going into HMV and browsing, you'd often come out with a film or box set that you didn't know you wanted.

It's kinda sad how streaming sites have taken over and everything is done with the click of a button now, there was something enjoyable about owning a physical copy and although I don't buy many any more, I still have my DVDs from like ten years ago.

My local HMV closed in 2011 though and now the closest one is in Oxford Street (which I'm not sure is still even open) so I get any DVDs and Blu-rays from Amazon or Zavvi now.

Very sad news. Hope it can be saved. Again.

Yeah, although it's just as easy for me to buy CD's and Vinyls from online - there's something still quite special about looking through the shop to find what you want, and buying it.

aw that’s a shame i like HMV

Administration must be worn out

HMV confirmed all stores to remain open
for now

Ref : LBC

Cex outsold?

close the miserable out of date store NOW

I love HMV, always in there when I'm out shopping and it's always busy.

Anyone with HMV Vouchers should use them now
as although in admin they are still open.

Was just pointed out on LBC

Yes they are but at the same time people are buying alot of stuff online, if there's a dvd that HMV doesn't have then you can shop online for it .

Great store but they are in drastic need of bringing up to date; their website and online services are frankly stuck in 2004.

There’s an ironic joke to be made here, I can feel it.

Amazon, Netflix and Spotify offer a better service at a better price.

This isn't a failure of capitalism, but rather capitalism working perfectly.

I love HMV, I use Netflix religiously but I do love owning physical copies of films.

Same, I've never seen our local one empty. I suspect there's a mismanaging of funds afoot if our experiences are commonplace since if all the shops are that busy then there should be profits.

As much as everyone hates this rich fella
he maybe their only chance to keep
some stores open.
