Dr Gloom 21504 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I have smooth radio therefore my taste in music is on par with my skills as a cook, my taste in films and my knowledge of football Edited January 15, 2013 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20555 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Okay, so what shop in the city centre can I use to waste the odd half hour? I heard last night that HMV still accounted for 20% of CD and DVD sales in the UK , but went busy due to bad debt. Sad times, Amazon rightfully should be taxed to fuck.

luckyluke 2 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Gutted, I got a £20 voucher from them for Christmas which they apparently now won't accept. Obviously small potatoes to people's jobs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13662 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Has anyone been in and checked their vinyl prices btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I returned the Harry Potter Bluray collection I'd received as a gift at christmas on Sunday just before the news came out. So that's a relief. No idea if it was bought from there in the first place like. Hope I wasn't the straw that broke the camels back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Has anyone been in and checked their vinyl prices btw? The blue cross sale had 25% off most stuff. Some good deals to be had. Tarantino Blu-ray box set. His first 5 films. Should be £40... http://hmv.com/hmvwe...1;-1&sku=332483 £35 sticker price in store....so you get it for £26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13662 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 There were selling a Stones Vinyl box for £90 and within about 20 seconds of searching online, I'd found it for half of that. Not that I was going to buy it anyway but HMV has been the last place to go for owt, really, for ages. Unless you want a shit docking station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want a shit docking station Aye the docking stations and earphones they peddle over half the store these days are a crock. I wouldn't buy owt from them that wasn't in a sale. Are WHSmith still selling music and films? They were always the absolute worst for price. Their sale items would be twice the price of some places online.

BigWalrus 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I called into the Silverlink store at lunchtime. I'm after the Bond blu-ray set...which wasn't included in the sale. £100 is a bit much but I might have done it for £75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bias 3 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) HMV are massively over priced, I do like to look around though. I think this was inevitable and surprised it didn't happen last year when the likes of GAME were having problems. http://hmv.co.uk/hmv/site_down_1a.jpg Edited January 16, 2013 by 2bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 2 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Accepting vouchers now. I spent my £20 voucher today, it's not exactly dirt cheap in there (still). 25% off a lot of things which isn't huge. Bought the Nolan blu-ray box set (which at £40 is the cheapest I've seen it anywhere). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
