20/02/2008 Asda supermarket keeping me out of HMV
I used to be a habitual HMV customer – and a strong advocate of the retailer on this site - but I gradually kicked the habit. Because, while CD prices have been plummeting from online suppliers and supermarkets, HMV’s prices look stubbornly high. I was reminded of the gap last weekend after leaving my local HMV branch empty-handed (again), after recently visiting Asda, Wal-Mart’s English subsidiary. Sample price comparisons of product currently interesting me were startling: * Morrissey Greatest Hits De Luxe: HMV £19, Asda £14 * Van Morrison Best Of v3: HMV £13, Asda £5 * Morrissey Who Put The M in Manchester DVD: HMV £18, (has been widely available elsewhere @ £5) * Led Zep DVD: HMV £30, (has been widely available at Asda and elsewhere @ £13) HMV might well manage to turn round its ailing chain, but until its prices are back in line with the marketplace, I won’t be contributing.
