I hope HMV do not Follow Woolworths : New Update Music Giants back HMV
 

As they are our only National CD/DVD/LP/12" store

Jeff Randall on SkyNews (Jeff Randal Busines Hour)
had a report about HMV bringing in people to go over there books.


As it stands they confirmed 60 UK stores will close.

But some HMV stores have Download areas
and they are still trying hard to fit all people needs.

Now LPs are level with CD's
in some stores.

They also now stock Band Clothing and own a Nightclub.


I hope they are not going the same way as woolworths did.

HMV :love:

I seriously hope our store doesn't close.

If its the only one in a big area it may not.


But some places have 2.

I miss Woolworths :(

if HMV dies, I die.

Woolworths going was horrible, HMV's even better, it can't die :'(

They have some Debts

Some Stores are making Profits.

But these people going over the books are
outsiders - This will not help backers of HMV.


I buy alot from HMV Japan
who stand alone as they are no longer part of any HMV group.

60 stores are to be closed
then they may do better


The 60 that go are the ones that are not bringing in enough cash.

It's very much on the cards unfortunately. They can't really compete with internet sites like Play.com - I can see them doing a Woollies and ending up closing their high street stores and trading only on the internet.

I really hope I'm wrong - I would really miss it on the high street - and I really feel sorry for those shop staff whose jobs are under threat.

At this Time only 60 will close.

Play.com
are having trouble.


Amazon is the King here.


"Its main competition comes from internet companies like Amazon and supermarket chains who have expanded into CD, DVD and gaming sales."

From the SkyNews Link
I just posted.

Tbh I don't pay for my music anymore since I discovered torrents but HMV was the place I was planning to buy my copy of Born This Way from. :sad:

I don't wanna see them go, they've always been around since I was little. :sad:

I will have you know Asda sell DVD's, Blu-Rays, CD's, + games :nono:

Would be crap if HMV went out of business was, even thought Music Zone and Virgin were better.

This.

Tesco > Asda.

We had a Zavvi HMV and Woolworth almost next to each other year.. First Woolworths went and then Zavvi now HMV.. it will probably be game next as well

They have chances

Every one from the Cleaner to the Top can take another Pay Cut
and stay in work


And Prices can come down on more items
then they can beat Supermarkets and Amazon.

Game may have to shut some stores.


And HMV is still Alive


Do not Bury it
Visit HMV

Asda > Sainsburys > Whatever else there is > Lidl > Netto > Tesco

Damn :/ Better not or there will be no DVD shop in my town :bored:

There isn't much difference between Morrison Asda and Tesco's in prices, just depends what they have an offer and what deals they have going

Asda have got 10% off when you spend so much... it is cheaper than everywhere else according to the woman on the intercom :nono:

HMV wont go by me as Powerplay shutted down a month ago.

Its not that Simple


60 is alot of stores

True
I have bought From AsdaWalmart
after checking they are cheaper than even amazon on some things.

Yes there will be
but not on that Oxford Street Scale.


Thats if that happens.



Outsiders going over your books is a Massive Danger.

I think the writings on the wall for HMV sadly, soon we will only have the supermarkets with their limited ranges.

Where I am, once Virgin sold up and then that company closed their store,I hoped HMV would do really well but I have seen how downhill its gone and even up to the Christmas period where queues used to be near outside the main doors at HMV,this year getting served was really easy.

Woolworths is a miss, because lots of the things you could get at Woolworths in a small quantity, you cannot now get at the likes of ASDA,since now Woolworths has gone, they stopped stocking lots of the 'bits and pieces' Woolworths nearly always had.

aslong as the online store stays open dat be all dat matters

OMG!

I was in there today, buying two Pendulum albums and a DVD and the staff are awesome and the store itself is top.

All these CDs everywhere, it's really amazing.

I've never been in there properly until today.

I hope it doesn't close :(
We have two.

One in our massive mall and another in the heart of the town.

The second one is the biggest :bawling: If that closes we'll be left with the boring one in the mall.

I love HMV I might cry if it closed :( ,couldn't give **** about woolies tbh

woolworths was a mess. the only decent thing i could get there was pick 'n' mix.

i always used to steal the pick n mix from wollies :laugh:

Woolie's last day was amazing, I managed to get 4 CDs and 2 DVDs for a fiver :amazed:

same :joker:

and put like £4 of sweets in the bag and wilkinsons, but after you have already weighed it and printed the label off for like 60p :joker:

:D

I still have my HMV voucher to spend which I got at Christmas. I usually shop online HMV. I like the store. I like to grab a bargain. Usually the bargains are online and not in store. I am sure they won't go bankrupped. There will just be less of them. Or maybe more HMV warehouses because more people are purchasing online.

I still go in the HMV store. However I am on the internet everyday so it is easily accessible online. There are usually plenty of people in HMV if I go in the store!

Yes beast we get the picture

No need for that. I am entitled to my opinion :nono:
