Sad news for those of us who stil enjoy physical media...
HMV calls in Administrators I remember Bob being quoted as saying that DVD gained widespread adoption, not for it's superior quality to VHS, but for convenience. Sadly the same periorities are at work with Netflix and Spotify etc. eroding the market even further for physical media.
The HMV subsidiary "Fopp" has been my favourite shop for years now, hoping it has a stay of execution as it occupies more of a specialist niche in the market.
