United Kingdom A Prophet - HMV exclusive

Anyone know what the difference is between the HMV exclusive (which is £16.99) and the standard Blu-ray (£15.99)? I've looked on their site but it doesn't give any info. The only difference I can see is that the exclusive comes with a slipcase but surely that's not it? It's out next week so will hopefully order it today.

I'd imagine that'll be only it.

Zavvi is HMV just like they are Fopp, so they all part of the same company. No other Music Visual chain exists on the High street they have the complete monopoly, take it from a former Fopp staff member don't be fooled into thinking these are separate companies they aren't HMV rules supreme.

HMV isn't Zavvi (or any of those multiple pretend companies we're washed out with here in the UK -or to be accurate, just off UK waters and out the reach of our tax authorities). HMV Group did buy Fopp for 50p or something. 50p too much.

Zavvi (another bankrupt brand bought for 50p) is part of TheHut who seem to have absolutely no money whatsoever but are good (or bad) at picking up quite useless dead brands which are completely worthless. They also provide other services to other online retailers (DSG, ASDA, LoveFilm) where they make some money but overall expect them to disappear soon. The fact those companies can't make anything online and TheHut describe themselves as an "e-commerce" company is a fancy way of saying they have no cash. I don't like the service TheHut.com have provided me in the past. Their eBay shop has some of the worst feedback I've read in over 12 years as an eBayer.

Entirely different companies.

And HMV online has nothing to do with HMV UK either as they are entirely separate companies (in separate countries too of course). Both are part of the HMV Group.

Personally, I've never bought anything out of a HMV store for over 12 years. I do like their online shopping and I like the shade of the colour purple (E2006A) they use

...so? If it's an HMV exclusive, it won't sell anywhere except HMV.
