I can't see the point of HMV anymore, they should be concentrating on being a music specialist or just stick to blu-rays and games. I still buy CDs but there's no point me even checking in there for what I want. Also, second hand market is key to survival. maybe a large minority of people rip CDs and then flog them back the next week, so just stick 'em a second hand aisle at marginally cheaper prices. I've been to giant indie stores in the states where it's a 50/50 split and the range is just... knees get wobbly, the first time anyway.
