Currys Digital

I am a bit perplexed by the lackluster reviews here. I was in from the US looking for an adapter for my Mac last year when ours died during our trip. The staff was helpful in finding one at a reasonable price. I had inadvertently left my new camera (purchased elsewhere) on the counter when fishing for my wallet in my purse. I came back looking for it several hours later looking for it and one of the salespeople had it stored safely out of view. He returned it to me once was able to describe the make and model along with the most recent pictures stored on it. The staff was also extremely appreciative when we had dropped off a thank you gift to them.
Overall, we had a very good experience with the store. They have a good selection at a reasonable price in a prime location. I don’t understand the prior reviewers comments about it being «depressing and grey». It is reasonably well lit and everything is easy to find. Perhaps he still hasn’t gotten over the closure of Dixon’s. :(

They do have a good selection of electronical products, especially if you’re not after a specific model and are interested in browsing. They also have a selection of games consoles, accessories and games at the end of the store which are very easy to miss but worth checking out as they’re much cheaper than the ones at the Game opposite.

Being the gadget connoisseur that I am, my travels have often involved visiting the new Currys in St. Davids 2. It has been much needed as since the close down of Dixon about 3 years ago there hasn’t be a dedicated electrical store in the centre since.
I’ve bought a set of headphones (great), Some batteries (Useful) and nearly bought my Mac from there (luckily escape).
Prices seem fine here and are not marked up from the general RRP of equipment. The shop seems very grey and depressing though and doesn’t grab you to pull you in if your walking past. The products are all lined up in quite long rows and are easy to find and play with.
Staff are very nice here but are oh so annoying. Within the 2 minutes I was in their last week looking for a router, I was asked by 3 separate members of the Currys family «If I’m ok». Not cool when your as miserable as me and a world record in customer bothering.
