[Man of Steelbooks]

Surprised my local isn't closing to be honest, but glad for whoever works there.

 

[Frasr]

Aw, not looking good for Edinburgh

 

[wyatt03]

Lost Bexleyheath :-(

but still got Bluewater & Bromley


I'm just hoping they can get the main HMV website and the HMV Pure website up and running again!

im actually suprised that all my local stores arent closing. Although by local i mean the stores that are within 20 minute drive lol

 

[Maccadinho25]

Telfords my local store and it states RESITE next to it - so maybe moving into a smaller unit?

Looks like most of the important London stores are not on the list.

Moorgate - This is expected due to it's promimity to other important central london stores.

 

[jammyone]

Both Sheffield stores still open that's good news for me

I thought they might get rid of one of them even though they are both miles apart and both in great locations.

 

[Sigill]

Mine is closing unfortunatly.

 

[hayemaker]

Mine too.

Don't get me wrong, it was 90% full of overpriced crap, but for picking up a mint steelbook on release day during your lunch hour, it was useful.

 

[jitstark]

Croydon closing.

There will literally be no where other than CEX to pick up steels.

 

[snooloui]

They've changed the page on their website, I did get a little bit excited and thought it would say when it would be back online, but really it's just the same as before.

Mine is closing unfortunatly.

Saw that Si you'll have to pop over to Peterborough some time ...though five minutes browsing and you'll be done!

Lol! Yeah it's about 3 and a half hour drive there Ant! My HMV is the same, it's only small and it's overpriced but I liked to go and check to see if there was any bargains.

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Looks like my local store is closing, damn shame!

Wood Green? Piccadilly circus is closing as well...

 

[Nyvo]

Wood Green? Piccadilly circus is closing as well...

Yep! Wood Green is on the list for the chop! At least I won't have a reason to go to Wood Green anymore!

Shame about Piccadilly Circus though, but understandable with Oxford Street just a short walk away.

 

[ayaba]

Thank god both of the shops close to me Poole and Salisbury are still there, Bournemouth is losing one but keeping the main one there so all is good for me at the mo

 

[Andy CYP]

Annoyed Wood Green is going. The only shop i bother to look in at lunch time.

 

[Antman]

Have you moved?! Or is that the potato season stuck behind a tractor journey time!!

Ok then you could do it in 3 with your foot down!

 

[TakingYoSteelz]

Is the HMV in the basement of Selfridge's still open?? That one should be a goner! Although that's where all the celebrities go for fear of being seen in the main branches
