Hmv

HMV has many locations throughout Manchester and it has moved yet again, I decided to call in and look at the new location, it isn’t much of a new location but they did move, probably within 12 – 18 months and this is my first time visiting the new store.
I like how it is set over 2 floors but it is strange to see another floor in this store, up a staircase but that isn’t another floor in the Arndale, it is basically like they have built in empty space, in the air.
I have always disliked HMV for their pricing, with many items over the top and they went into administration which saw online buying gone and numerous stores close, I still feel the pricing is too expensive with many items being cheaper on Amazon. I may of paid a few pounds extra to support a local business, but HMV is a nation wide chain and I don’t want to give them my hard earned money, if it is cheaper elsewhere.
I didn’t see any items cheaper than the likes of Amazon here, either matching them or just being more expensive.
This store is quite a nice store, I like how it looks and it has a nice range of products but it is just a shame the pricing is terrible and not worth it. One thing I don’t understand is why people continue to shop here, when the likes of Amazon, CEX and Thats Entertainment have much better pricing, I must admit however CEX is mostly overpriced too but they do have some good bargains.
I feel this store only deserves 2 stars, a franchise I used to love as a child becomes one I now dislike and like to avoid.

What else can you say for this brilliant store. Great choice. Great staff. Brilliant instore fun for a good few hours to kill whilst on your way back down Market Street.
