HMV

In my opinion the HMV at Sherway has been going downhill for years. They used to have a separate classical/​jazz section (staffed by a guy who knew his stuff), before it got gutted to make room for DVD sets of old TV shows. Now, they sell video games too, but the prices for most of their stuff are exactly the same as at other stores, and the selection is decidedly mainstream.
Then again, their business doesn’t seem to have suffered much, so maybe I’m just an old fuddy-​duddy. But it seems that in the age of high-​speed, high-​bandwidth internet, a place like HMV is pretty irrelevant. I can’t even remember the last time I bought a new CD. The only things I’d still get here are the drastically marked-​down DVDs (especially since the advent of Blue-​Ray); HMV is still good for sales like that.
