Dammit if I'd have remembered this, I wouldn't have stayed in bed this morning.
I haven't step foot in HMV to buy something in around 10 years. I have had to meander there when I need to kill time whilst waiting for someone/something but that was at least three years ago.

You can have a look online at least, I'm gonna buy the Battlefield 3 novel (£2 delivered, though it's not in the sale). The sale's pretty crap if their online prices are even repeated in the store, from what I've seen. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Yes the final prices are too high. I suspect that this is to get really good launch sales figures. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

FYI the media centre part just doesn't work. Won't record TV, issue seems to be with file write permissions, which seem banjaxed

The media centre is FUBAR in general, I had to revert my HTPC from windows 8 to 7 because of that. DVB-S tuners pick up less than half the channels the very same card does in Windows 7, no BBC3/4 ITV1/2 C4, E4 etc. Too many to be dropping crap like the god channel. Sleep resume to record hasn't worked once in the 3 weeks I had it on. No supported WHS2011 connector software (Windows 7 I can record tv then it will copy to my home server so I can watch it anywhere in the house in a machine with MCE on it) Guide listings seemed broken, but that seems to be in general now (BBC1 doesn't load local listings correctly, only on selecting a show does it work) Must say with all this faff I'm tempted to get a regular dvb-s box that has a network streamer and be done with it. _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
