You've got nothing to be annoyed about, I'm from UK & HMV got shut down & died off a long, long time ago nationwide.

I don't know who this website is I've never heard of them but there picture also shows "Blue Cross Sale" posters which are from a chain store in the UK called Debenhams & not HMV lol

BlueCroup3694d ago

Actually those posters are the ones HMV used over Xmas

jackanderson19853694d ago

eh no it did not... they've opened up alot of their stores again... in ireland they've partnered with Xtravision...Hilco bought em out

http://www.standard.co.uk/n...

dunno where you got your facts from cuz they're blatant lies.... also HMV tried out the blue cross sales tactic at least once... probably more

Spurg3694d ago

Funny cuz I was in westfield the other day I saw HMV still open.

Care to explain why it was still open????

Ninjamonkey823694d ago

HMV is still open Belfast town centre Northern Ireland last i checked we are in the UK ;).

Goro3694d ago (Edited 3694d ago )

HMV went like Zavvi, their stores were all shut down but they still sell on the internet.

Edit: Oh, only the Irish HMV stores all shut down, the UK ones were saved.

asmith23063693d ago

@xYakuzaz UK and Ireland HMVs are still open. I was in HMV in Dublin last friday.

Baylex3693d ago

Well maybe I'm crazy... but I swear to God that yesterday I was inside a HMV store... oh but maybe it wasn't, it's just me imagining things LOL

liquidhalos3693d ago

HMV Cheltenham is still going strong, I haven't popped down to check if this sale stuff is true because frankly im uninspired by the console release games and unfortunately my nephew nabbed my old 360. Until ISS, the division and watchdogs drops ill stick to the PS+ freebies and save my pennies. Good gaming to those who are able to take advantage though.

Baylex3693d ago

Just so you know.. I've been today in a HMV store and I didn't see any discounts on the pre-owned games. At least in the kingston store there wasn't any discounts...

mixelon3693d ago

The HMV in Leeds is still fully operational. I bought my Vita there a couple of weeks ago. :)

...Didn't all HMV stores close down 6-12 months ago????

Manic20143694d ago

No they were, but were bought out by another company.

1nsomniac3694d ago (Edited 3694d ago )

The buy-out fell through & was never completed as far as I was aware that's why all stores have now been shut down.

I haven't seen an open HMV in at very least 8 months.

jackanderson19853694d ago

Hilco did indeed buy them out and reopened a good chunk of their stores... also bought out xtra vision in ireland and now they've a partnership here which is handy.

1nsomniac is pulling information from nowhere

FrugalDaz3694d ago

There are still numerous HMV stores around the UK. And HMV also had blue cross sales.

deep_fried_bum_cake3694d ago

Oh, I might pop into one then and see if I can get something good.

BattleTorn3694d ago

Probably over a year ago, a new shopping mall was being built near my rents house, and on the corner unit a HMV opened up...
both my dad and I were like "what. are. they. thinking?!?"

It was gone in no time.

HMV in London Says Smash Bros Wii U Will Be Coming November 28th

A reader of My Nintendo News has snapped a pre-order box shot of Super Smash Bros Wii U in one of the HMV stores in London. The accompanying label claims that Super Smash Bros for the Wii U will be arriving in stores on November 28th. Of course, this could simply be a placeholder, but as Nintendo has yet to officially confirm anything other than winter, this is one of the closest things we’ve got to a release date for the game.

Right in time for the holidays. I wouldn't be surprised if wiiu comes out on top this December.

MSBAUSTX3537d ago

Well Between now and Christmas they Have Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 1/2, and then SSB Wii U, all of which I have reserved. Everyone I know that is a gamer is either buying a Wii U this Christmas for the titles that have just come out or are between now and the new year. Plus there a lot f kids that havent gotten one yet from their parents because they may be waiting until christmas to buy it for them. It is still the cheapest console on the market and right now Frys has it bundled with 3 ganes for only 349 bucks. I am sure other systems will sell well too but this holiday season is primed to be a Wii U frenzy IMO. It is for me at least. Lol

Rockefellow3537d ago

"Winter 2014" would be sometime after December 21st-- it's "Holiday 2014," meaning (hopefully) closer to Thanksgiving than Christmas. The fact that a release date hasn't been set for one of the biggest games this year makes me fearful they're still frantically working on it... which leaves the possibility of a Brawl situation all over again.

Already bought from Target when they ran B2G1, waiting on my free game.

High Street and Supermarkets Still Dominate Boxed Games Market

Gamer Headlines writes: I’d like to think that we UK gamers are quite savvy when it comes to finding the best deal when buying games. And let’s face it; everything is generally cheaper online from the vast number of websites like Amazon, ShopTo, Zavvi, Game Collection and deal forums like HotUkDeals when comparing prices to high street stores like Game, HMV, Argos or the local supermarket.

Well gamers, it would seem that more than half of all physical games are still sold in traditional bricks and mortar establishments according to last year’s stats.

I thought HMV had shut down in the UK

bggriffiths3686d ago

A lot of stores did. But they saved a few after they found a buyer for the company. Just this week though, they announced they're ditching their pre-owned games department.

BelkingOfSony3686d ago

I bet most of the consoles sold in high streets and supermarkets are bought by parents (in other words, the uninformed buyers)
