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.

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.

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. Last edited by Alf; 31-12-2018 at 11:26 AM. |

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. |
