Just went in today.

"Buy one get one free on DVDs" - they had a whole section devoted to this. Sounds pretty good yeah? Well it isn't all as it seems, they've just used crafty marketing techniques to short change the customer.

Luckily I wasn't fooled by this offer, mainly because I was clued up from visiting the store two weeks ago.

Sprited Away - £8.99

Today: -

Spirited Away - £19.99 (BOGOF)

So if you purchased two DVD's two weeks ago (at £8.99 each), you'd have to pay £17.98.

That means todays buyers are giving an extra £2.02 to pay the frankly rubbish employees wages.

Cheeky.

Surely you should know that deleted files can be recovered.

Or else, extremely well remade.

Or atleast tracked on a hackers keyboard plug (which are legal to use on yourself if you want to make sure you never lose anything you type)

HMV still owe me £3.02 as change from my vouchers, which they gave to me on a money gift swipe card!

Rascals!

I must spend it!

Local HMV staff even once admitted to my mum that they hiked the prices.

A while back, she was looking at some old war films in HMV which were £7.99 each - though she didn't have the money at the time.

A few weeks later she went back to buy some, and they were something like £13.99. She asked one of the plebs why this was, and they actually said - without even batting an eyelid - "Oh, it's because of the VJ anniversary celebrations."

Personally, I refuse to buy games or DVDs in shops any more.

Whoever buys from HMV is stupid. Most of their DVDs are £20. Spirited Away is a class film though.

Thank you Gamesfreak for teaching me to be much more careful in future!
