Someone in front of me bought Star Wars for £80 the other day. I paid £60 on release. Obviously going for in-store scarcity value although £55 on Amazon

For those in Scotland remember that HMV has opened back up in Braehead but in a smaller store.

Picked up Big Bang Theory season 1 - 6 box set for £25. Well happy!

[Ste7en]

On BD? That is a great price!

Some great titles in the 5 for 30, I spent 250 quid last week just on those deals, the store manager served me, and he said if he manages to not miss a security tag on this massive pile, he'll dance for joy, sure enough as I walked out the store with 3 bags of Blu's the alarm never went off, I turned and gave him a thumbs up, and he moonwalked while fist pumping

This sounds slightly surreal.

New release prices that I noticed on Blu-Ray:

24: Live Another Day £31.99
A Million Ways To Die In the West £12.99
Mrs. Browns Boys: More Christmas Crackers £12.99

The Wind Rises Blu-Rays is now in the 2 for £25.

Also, double PURE points too.

I really wish they advertises their Blu-Ray prices somewhere a few days before release. I've pretty much cancelled most of my Amazon orders as it seems 2/3 times HMV is cheaper. Since my PRIME expired too, it's far beneficial to go to HMV but hate making a trip to find out it's more expensive.

The Invisible Woman (with shiny slipcover) is in the £5 for 30 offer along with Porky's along with Memphis Belle and The Jazz Singer steelbook.

A pretty decent range as well. de Palma's Sisters was just £7-99 and the EE of An Unexpected Journey just £14-99.

They have also stocked most of the recent Eureka releases. This is the Watford branch only so may not be the case for other stores.

I'm thinking about doing this as well. Especially when 88 Films titles and Odeon Entertainment titles work out cheaper

Okay, so in the space of a few weeks I've bought 4 titles which is more than in the space of a couple of years! Would have bought a couple more had they been in stock. If they can continue to beat everyone on small/cult label prices then more power to them. I hope it's beneficial to both parties.

When i get a chance to get to Hmv i always get flustered with the choice, its like blu ray candy in there!!

[oddbox83]

It's like the 90s again, this time in HD.

Are there any decent bargains in HMV at the moment? I'm looking for things in the £5-7 range!

No. I was in my local today and it's the same old 5 for £30 crap. I'm hoping there will be some half-decent bargains in their Xmas sale... but I wouldn't bet on it. The last couple of years their "sale" items were the same priced stock as they had before Xmas but with new stickers on... seriously!!

That's a shame, my folks were popping into town and I never get a chance to go as it's so inconvenient. I still pine for our old store, where you could park outside!

I spent almost an hour in HMV Winchester last Saturday. It was far too easy to spend ages just 'browsing'... I ended up leaving with The Hobbit 1&2 separate released after not being able to choose 5 titles for £30.

[Walter_White]

Had a look yesterday at the 5 for £30 promotion, thought these were worth mentioning:

Rush (Red case/lenticular slipcase)
Prisoners (Slipcase)
Inside Llewyn Davis
Anchorman 2 (2 disc with slipcase; not that great a film admittedly but still...)
The Wolf Of Wall Street

There were quite a few others released this year in the promotion that are cheaper than I've seen elsewhere.

[Blu MacReady]

They still selling Graduation Day for £7.99?
