HMV and Virgin Megastores used to really compete on the High Street for the home entertainment market and then Virgin were sold and became Zavvi and when bust. HMV is now the premier high street home entertainment brand, no matter where you live in the UK, you will always find an HMV, from tiny stores with cd's a few dvd's and games to the might HMV megastore on Oxford Street in London which is three floors of entertainment. I am going to review HMV on Oxford Street as I think it shows the best example of what the brand has to offer. The store is set centrally in a perfect location for London, the ground floor is where all the most ...  Read the complete review

HMV V Zavvi. that has always been a problem for me. I did used to like shopping in HMV but think it is way to expensive for what it is. I do watch and buy alot of DVD's and CD's so a whole store dedicated to this is amazing. I find that i do not use hmv for new releases as its cheaper to nip to tesco and pay half the price. I will admit however it is handy for there selection. I collect disney DVD's and if i want good choice i will go there especialy if there is a title i want thats hard to find. (i only do this when theres a buy one get one free on) I also like the five for thirty deals that they do before christmas and this is a handy way of getting a few ...  Read the complete review

HMV is the biggest entertainment store in the UK and one of the biggest worldwide with stores in far away places such as Tokyo. It primarily sells DVD's and CD's but also sells magazines, books and games in all of its stores. They can be found in almost every (I can imagine EVERY) big town or city, living in Bristol a new store has recently opened up which is huge and the same size I can imagine countrywide. HMV is the biggest store in the UK now for entertainment purposes after the collapse of Zavvi, I always preffered Zavvi on price and for deals, they also had a wider array of products as far as I was concerned, but since they are no longer it's unfair to ...  Read the complete review

Im not a fan of this store or hmv as a whole whatsoever. There are 2 stores local to me both of which are very big. HMV sell a wide rang of dvds, cds (singles and albums), computer games and records. Whenever ive been in these stores you can never find what your looking for, nothing is labelled clearly and with so many different cds and dvds etc how are you supposed to find the one your looking for espcially if its not in the chart. The only cds i ever seem to be able to find without a problem are the ones in the top 10 charts. Whenever you look for staff there nowhere to be found so after getting very annoyed because you cant find what your looking ...  Read the complete review

HMV my local record store, and really the only place I have ever bought my music from. However I am not entirely satisfied, I am not convinced by them. While HMV has a huge selection of music/videos and films, I find that I am missing something every time I go in. Often it is hard to find exactly what I am looking for, the stores are so big and things aren't exactly labeled well or clearl. For example, its almost impossible to find out which dirrection the alphabet of music goes in. I am constatly annoyed because I have to spend ages looking for where the CD's continue or where I can find the Dvd's that are after H. The staff, I am not ...  Read the complete review
