What a waste of an idea - why not let the customer complete the transaction online, then ship from the shelves to the customers hand ? That would let HMV stores competing on price AND convenience against the web retailers.
HMV are usually overpriced in-store anyway, so I doubt many games will see the "under £18" barrier and so be exempt from tax.
Quite, HMV are getting a bit desperate. I mean Blu-ray @ £30 each, and games at £50, who are they kidding.
Yeah exactly. What sane person buys their blu-ray's and games from hmv? crazyOriginally Posted by Earlyflash
Free games, i want free games. if u have any games u dont want post them to the below address lol joking.....HMV are over priced thats why they are doing this, well in london anyway £45 for a xbox game wen 2 secs down the road game are doin it for £30-£35
well they must be doing something right.... they're a MAHOOSIVE company..
well most 2.99 DVD's are good IMO and student discount
online is much more better though!
Is this why play.com and others price are usually 10 quid cheaper?
Went to my local Zavvi today and they were selling Smash Brothers for 40 quid
Internet > All
I've seen on the tesco website they do similar too, nothing that new tbh. Just a more advertised tax evasion
HMV are not always overpriced..in fact I have found many times that they are the cheapest (in store, not online). You just have to be lucky and hope that whatever your after is in the perpetual sale that they have on. If it is then your sorted
If you have a student card then the extra 10% off you get also makes a world of difference...This is a good idea really, regardless of the tax-free issue. Essentially your giving your customers a chance to order out of stock items without wasting staff time doing one through the HMV store ordering systems and without the customer just deciding to walk out as its not there. Could potentially make them alot more money as they will lose less sales due to items being out of stock
