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.

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 If that closes we'll be left with the boring one in the mall.

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!

Update


"Recording Giants including David Joseph of Universal Music,
said they would support HMV through its difficulties."

I love HMV. I do use their online service but I prefer actually going in store and seeing what they've got. Would be gutted if it shuts down.

There's a massive one by me, it can;t go

Jeff Randall on SkyNews (Jeff Randal Busines Hour)

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.
i hope they close as they are bloated and have not adapted to modern times

they need to die
