A good choice for DVDs CDs and video games
Review of HMV.co.uk by IzzyS

Advantages: Good choice of items, competitive prices, free delivery, easy to navigate
Disadvantages: None

HMV.co.uk is a site that I've only shopped at or odered from a few times but yet its one that I check regularly and that I find is very competitive. I tend to buy alot of DVDs and video games and the main recreational stuff I like to collect/buy on Ebay but when I decide that I want to buy brand new items online then the two websites that I check first are Play.com (I've already written a review about this site - check it out if your interested) ...
...for mailings. **Competitions** HMV.co.uk often runs competitions, at the moment their running one in conjunction with one of the biggest movies released this summer:- The Simpsons Movie. You can win a trip to Hollywood, with no purchase necessary. The competition is very visible on the website, with a banner link to the competition page at the very top of every page, so its easy enough to find. I'm sure they'll run other, similar competitions too, ... Read review

HMV - Comes Out Tops
Review of HMV.co.uk by blondgem

Advantages: some good bargains, efficient service
Disadvantages: bit expensive on some things

I tend to use a variety of online shops for any cd's or dvd's that I may want. I normally do a few prices comparisons to see who comes up trumps on what I am looking for. HMV being one of the sites that I do always check to see if they have anything cheap and sometimes they do beat the rest of the competition. HMV is considered as one of the more premium retailers and has been around since 1921. Having over 200 stores across the country aswell, ...
...from Guernsey. HMV also has stores in America and across Europe. Being a premium retailer you find that they tend to stick to a certain discount off recommended retails and new release dvd's and cd's you are probably better geting from somewhere that exports them in from the likes of Hong Kong which can afford to sell them cheaper, however HMV have a reputation that they ahve to uphold. The HMV website, I would say is very attractive and eye catching ... Read review

Disadvantages: None

If you are like me and are into your music and films and don't mind shopping online then you can get some great bargains at HMV.co.uk. I have been registered with them now for about 2 years and have regularly used there services, especially as a student cos they are one of the only music retail outlets to offer students 10% discount which doesn't sound much but it mounts up. I am always on the look out for a bargain, unless I am buying a new title, ...
...to be reduced. My opinion of HMV is very good because I feel they have a very wide range of stuff for all tastes. They also often have great savings on their website. About a week ago I ordered a cd from the website which cost me £9.99 including the postage and packaging. When I went into the store I saw it was on sale for a whopping £16.99 which is crazy. Most cd's I have brought from their website have been cheaper than going into the store to ... Read review

Top dog Top website
Review of HMV.co.uk by GR-Design

Advantages: Special Offers, a brand name you can trust
Disadvantages: Delivery payments

I’m sure most of you have visited a HMV highstreet store at some point in your lives, if you have, then you will know that HMV have a huge range of titles in music, video, DVD and computer games and also have good stock levels. This is basically what the online store offers you. However, there is one difference and that’s cheaper prices! So, how does this website perform? Well I wanted to buy Armageddon on VHS. I went to my local store ...
...at the customer services desk. Hold on I thought, I could get a DVD for that price, so I went to look elsewhere. I actually did think they had made some sort of mistake, because usually the videos are quite reasonably priced, but anyway, off I went in search of it somewhere else. Could I find it anywhere? Well, the short answers no, so I decided to have a look on the internet for it. I had seen the HMV adverts advertising videos for £4.99, so I thought ... Read review
