I was in the Darlington and Newcastle shops at the weekend (different days). I love the Premium Collection as it gives you the extra push to pick up loads of stuff you always wanted but never got around to picking up. I bought, in the BOGOF:
Dark Passage
The Yakuza
I Confess
The Big Sleep
Mighty Joe Young
The Valley of Gwangi
I had a lot of hassle trying to find Mighty Joe Young. It wasn't on the promotion rack. It wasn't under sci-fi or horror. It wasn't under the A - Z section. I forgot about the Limited Edition section!
Snobby guy on the counter said "It'll only be in one of two places. The promotion or the Limited Edition sections" I said I forgot about the LE bit and he just shrugged. I then pointed out it could have been in up to four places and I'm pleased it wasn't subtitled or I would never have found it.
I hear they have created a new world on The Crystal Maze. HMV World. They give you a list of titles and you have to find them or you get locked in
I had a big list of stuff I was after but I got so sick of picking up dog-eared stock. Everything was bashed and because they have been constantly changing the pricing stickers most of the cellophane was ripped off several titles.
They are getting more and more like junk shops.
