With cables and wires and connectors and small type tools, they help you get stuff fixed, built or made better. Organized by category with computer stuff, blank media, telephone, hi-fi, and other gadgets neatly laid out, once you figure out what you want, they will have it. And for the stuff that they don't have in stock, Maplins has a massive catalog and they will be able to order it for deliver to your home or to the shop. While they have all the cables you need to connect your computer to your television, they don't actually sell computers or televisions.

Once in there though the actual shop isn't that big but it holds all electrical cables, batteries, computer, audio and television equipment. Some of their products are over priced but I have had a good bargain from there in the past. The staff are all helpful and friendly and know exactly what they are talking about when it comes to electricals.

That's Entertainment previously got a 4 star review from me, but I feel it deserves 2 because:…read more - Some of the pricing is over the top compared to the likes of Amazon. - Trade in prices are poor - The Music is a little too loud in this store - It is 2 floors and they is no disabled access - Trade ins can only take upstairs which is weird and unjustifiable - Compared to nearby competition, this does not really stand out - Design and layout of the store not very good compared to nearby competition, seeming less modern. This store does have some nice staff and okay prices but the negatives above means I think it does only deserve 2 stars, the company does have some good offers such as free delivery, which is rare today, with Amazon for example you have to spend £20 but I am reviewing the store and I agree this is a 2 star warranting store. UPDATE: This store has now closed and has been for many months now and after some consideration I can understand why, especially with the poor nature of this store and the decline being shown especially in the days and weeks before the store eventually was closed with no prior warning to customers.

Look at newspapers, music and tv - things are moving so fast that sometimes it's hard to keep up with the newest and best ways to watch a movie, listen to a song or read that killer article. It's strange that in the same high street where HMV has reduced from 3 giant superstores to 1 (which is shutting after Christmas), one store selling CD's, DVD's and boxsets is absolutely booming. And this my friends is simply down to 2 things: 1. What must be razor thin margins on the products they sell, often out pricing Amazon most of the time. 2. Fans or completists of physical media must buy it and own the product still. That's Entertainment is perfect for picking up cheap DVD's for a present, or if you can't be bothered with the likes of Netflix/Lovefilm then getting a few in for the weekend. Their 2 for £5 and 3 for £5 deals being particularly attractive. If you still buy CD's, there's loads of classic albums throughout but you're probably not going to find that rare Japanese import you've been after for a while. New releases and box sets are stocked on release date, usually in small numbers but realistically priced to make you afford and enjoy the interaction with a human as opposed to needing to go online and wait for it to be delivered. Considering it's a bit of a bargain basement, I've always found the staff to be friendly, very knowledgable and lovers of music and movies.

I always used to get some good bargains from here but I don't always seem to find them here nowadays.

This is a well planned out shop that offers all the latest fashions and accessories. They also have great sales on in January too. This is about the only time that I do visit this shop nowadays though due to their prices slightly increasing.
