Do you actually WANT these businesses to fail?
It's the administrators's job to get maximum return from the assets of the business they are charged with running, so if they can get someone else to run it, then that is good for everyone. If it just goes bust, then the suppliers lose out (and staff too) and they also may be vulnerable to failing.
You do realise that LP sales are now increasing?
You have another thread titled

Yes, OP seems to take quite a lot of pleasure when business fail for some reason...
Barratts Shoes and Tie Rack.
A slightly weird preoccupation, but there we go.
Edit: as for physical media, there probably will always be a need for it if anything goes wrong with the tech.
Weird is putting it lightly.
Maybe they have been turned down for jobs in all these retailers and it's a case of sour grapes.
I for one hope there's an abundance of new shops. Shops, shops for everyone! :cool:
What about shops for those who want shops?
Or shop shop shops for those who want to sell shops that sell shops?
More funeral director shops!!!!
But its coming and I can see in the next five years or so high street media sellers, be that games, films or music will be gone, blockbuster has, Game and HMV are basically taking their last breaths as retailers as we know them. So it will be Supermarkets, Online like Amazon or digital. Hopefully going digital will force "data caps" to be abolished, and the country as a whole getting better internet speeds.
I know this is a totally radical suggestion, but have you tried not going in there? It might help with your rage.
Well that's just not true. It was only this morning that I picked up the Porridge box set from my local HMV.
As has been pointed out, somebody obviously is or these businesses would be bust already.
I only go in there to look and then if I see something I like I go and order it online because its cheaper.
i agree what u say HHV/GAME are so expensive why so high prices they are just on their last legs blockbusters is gone so why cant these shops go as well its just poor business sense
Not keeping up with the times
Most people tell us how great these shops are in one breath, but in the next tell us they got 2 blu rays for £10 etc, ie do they ever buy things full price in there or just on the sales.
Digital is the way forward, more stock can be carried, instant reviews, instant sales, better streamlined pricing across the board.
In my local town, the HMV closed, the Game closed, so the only place to buy titles is the Supermarket, I use this for films, if I'm shopping and fancy a movie for the night, but generally my films come from Amazon, music from iTunes and games from PS store. And to be honest I've not really missed either shop.
I suppose you'd be happy if every high street retailer went bust:o:confused:
Yes they do. I buy a metric ****ton of the stuff.
How WH Smith continues to survive when we've lost far superior stores really bewilders me.
