Hmv

I quite like this branch of HMV, sure it gets packed and there are queues, but to be honest i think that could be said for most hmv branches across the country. I like the layout, especially the shelves with the offers on as its well organised and done in such a way that there will always be something to catch my eye. The staff in particular make this shop stand out for me, always helpful and go out of their way to help you find what your looking for

Mostly I shop online for DVDs and that but I can rarely pass an HMV without going in (just in case, like). I like the pretty pink sign. The Lincoln HMV is much smaller than the two I frequent in Leeds, meaning that it suffers from hefty queues, cramped aisles and mad rushes at weekends, and that’s why I came in here, walked out, and then came back later when it was less busy. I didn’t like how much of the shelves have the DVDs stacked with just their spine poking out — I know it’s all down to available space, but I like to see the front cover, so it stands out and makes me want to buy it, rather than having to tilt my head at a 90 degree angle to read the titles of a million and one films.

As the other review has stated there can be horrendous queus in this shop. However it seems to my knowledge to have the widest selection of music and films in Lincoln. It is however quite expensive comparitively. They also offer a 10% student discount card if that affects you.

Most of the times I’ve shopped in Lincoln’s HMV, I’ve found it to be horribly crowded, with a massive line waiting to be served. Apart from that, the store is good, and is what you’d expect from a HMV store. A good selection of music, DVDs and games, that can be found cheaper online. However, its my opinion that there is nothing like browsing through CDs in a shop. The shop itself is well laid out, if a bit small.
