Dunno about the ones in Canada, but I was in one in the UK just the other day, browsing and killing time and they were selling season 4 of The Wire for something ridiculous like £40.

Fuck, HMV

Kinda sucks but Best Buy has better prices for Blu Rays.

fuckin lol

It's digital media that killed movie and music stores, not piracy. Videogame stores are next on the chopping block

>>78874701
Piracy's been going on for years, and yet they survived. The new development is legal streaming, which is what really killed them.

That, and trying to turn themselves into half media store, half Hot Topic with their Dr. Who onesies and Game of Thrones underwear. Sometimes located right NEXT to an actual Hot Topic.

Nope. At least not for a long time. People still prefer the physical copy, plus they also sell consoles and accessories, guides, etc;
