Virgin Reviews

When walking in to any Virgin Megastore for the first time, I don't think there's any way in which you won't be blown away by the shear size of it. My (fairly) local store has 2 huge floors. The top floor really is HUGE (shame the text doesn't go bigger). It seriously is probably not far off being 100m long (and 20 ...  Read the complete review

When I first saw the new Virgin V shop that has opened in my local shopping centre(Lakeside, West Thurrock) I lived in hope of a shop with a vast product range and reasonable prices...How wrong I was! I recently went in to buy a few DVD's and I was totally shocked at the prices. All Chart and New Release DVD's were priced at ...  Read the complete review

Thank God Virgin has taken over Our Price! I found Our Price to be one of the most stifling and extortionate music shops around. V.Shop - Virgin's new baby has given a breath of fresh air in the digital age of shopping. V.Shop is a very streamlined shopping experience, the layout is very futuristic and bulbous. Thi s may ...  Read the complete review

Virgin Megastore has a vast selection of videos and CD’s. The problem is that if you want to buy a video or CD that is not in a sale or special offer it will be very expensive. They sell console games, CD’s, videos/dvd’s and a small range of books on film and music. Staff are very helpful. Virgin Megastore also sells ...  Read the complete review

A large retail chain store for music and video. Also selling computer and console games, they stock a large variety to suit all tastes. Owned by the entrepreneur Richard Branson, this chain of popular store is popping up in many large towns and cities. As a consumer that very rarely ventures into Plymouth city centre, today ...  Read the complete review

I finally purchased a Virgin mobile today from one of the group’s music stores for 29,99 a good price on anyone’s budget bit I also wanted some music and to my amazement the shop dons’t actually sell tape cassettes.The format is cool because they dont jump when one is jogging or walking with the portable player out and ...  Read the complete review

Many people who pass by Virgin Megastores may assume it sells Music alone. However this is not the case. If you actually go in to the larger stores you will find that on another floor they sell Videos and Computer games. However it is the videos I am going to tell you about. Virgin megastores has the widest selection of videos I have ...  Read the complete review

My experience of the Virgin Megastores is that they don't provide very good value for money. I always shop around when buying things and have always found items cheaper elsewhere. On the plus side they do stock a vast range of audio and video products and computer games and you will usually find what you are looking for. If ...  Read the complete review

Virgin in my opinion should be far and few between! Not only do they never have anything in stock but when you order something it takes months to arrive! Their stores are usually of a large size you'd think they have a large stock room, wrong.They never have any reserve s of new releases which is pointless because new releases ...  Read the complete review

I am sure that not many people could have failed to notice that all the Our Price music shops have disappeared and have been replaced by Virgin. The refit is fantastic. I can now actually walk around in the shop with a buggy as they have left room between all the shelving! It is very bright and looks very modern plus there are ...  Read the complete review

Have Virgin taken over Our Price? It seems that every Our Price record shop local to me has closed and been replaced by extremely substandard Virgin ones. The new Virgin stores which we have in the Chelmsford area at least are poor to say the least. The number of CDs etc they stock is abysmal, offering very little choice other than the ...  Read the complete review

At one time if you wanted to buy a record by a non mainstream artist you had to go to your local independent music store now stores like Virgin stock a wide range of cd’s and you will be hard pushed to find any titles that they do not stock. They sell a wide range of music, videos, DVD’s and various other stuff like games and ...  Read the complete review

Usually I prefer to buy my cds from small, local and independent record shops since they often have rare cds hidden away which some big chains don't stock. However, since I have been a Dooyoo member I get virgin vouchers as rewards and so I've started to go to Virgin Megastores more often. They do have a great stock of cds, videos and ...  Read the complete review

Virgin Megastores is one of the biggest music high street stores. All the main cities have Virgin stores so if you are after an item Virgin will probably have it. It sells CDs, VHS tapes, DVDs, Games, Magazines, T-shirts, Books and lots more. Each virgin store has a wide selection of items and you almot guaranteed to find the thing you ...  Read the complete review

Virgin Megastore isn't as good as HMV, as the selection is weaker and the offers aren't as much of a "bargain" as they should be (the best they could do all summer was 5 for £30 on CDs). Also, they don't allow students discount on sale items, when HMV does, and they don't have an online website, which the ...  Read the complete review

Viring part of the empire that Sir Richard Branson built up. Is it Virgin to the game? Well now its a very good shop for many things. They are all usally well stocked and have good deals on so you the customers will be happy. They have useful things as charts for many things. Singles, albums, games and videos etc. ...  Read the complete review

Virgin have a very slick presentation and some large stores. I could spend all day in one of their megastores. They stock everything that you could realistically think of, in all available formats, and there are numerous listening posts which really help if you are unsure of a CD. Prices are ok, perhaps a pound more than the ...  Read the complete review

Whenever I need to find a CD or video that's not exactly mainstream, or top 40, I head to my nearest Virgin Megastore. I find the way the store is laid out to be clear and logical, and the hanging signs that show the different areas are clear and easy to read, even from some distance away. Virgin Megastores sell a wide ...  Read the complete review

Virgin Megastore is a very sly and innovative record store by Mr Branson! It has the commercial appeal matched by Our Price, but it's stock is, even if less, comparable to HMV. The familiar big red store with a sometimes arty, and sometimes useful and at times bewildering layout stocks any kind of music under the sun; even ...  Read the complete review

About 5 years ago, under a blaze of glory my local branch of Virgin was opened and Our Price promptly closed down. Great I thought we finally have a large store to cater to all local music-fans every whim, but finding what album you want in this store is more like a chore than a pleasure, because there are too many different ...  Read the complete review
