I've walked into this place a good number of times just to window shop here, I feel like its a great place to nerd out for those who are really into music. They've got a tiny section upfront for anime related merchandise too, and a small selection of snacks like Ramune and Pocky. The layout is quite simple to figure out, with the merchandise being put on display all over the walls near their respective aisles. Plus, it's size is just a good place to wander around to see if you can find a CD or even a record disc of any bands you listen to. Also they have a few choices for budget earbuds, which are really good in quality considering their prices float around five to fifteen quid. Great for me when I still used wired earbuds since mine would end up breaking often. read more

This HMV in Festival Place is fairly small to HMV standards, single floor but everything is there, good selection of DVDS, CD's, Games, and accessories plus all the usual charts. Not huge amounts of Boxsets and sale mounds found in the larger HMV stores, and the music has tended to be on a bit loud in this store when I've been in. Not usually too busy and straight through the queue when I've bought something! read more

HMV is not necessarily the cheapest, but they are definetly great at doing promotions which make them really competitively priced. This store always has a great selection of box sets on DVD and a wide choice of UMD's causing it to be a popular destination to eye up a wish list for Christmas! They have a great stock of iPod accessories at the rear of the store, and the staff in this area are really knowledgable and are quite honest as to what they would and wouldn't use themselves. There is a good gaming section and a few fanatics work in store so are always on hand if you get stuck! Also look out for the novelty gifts near the tills, guarenteed to give a smile! read more

This relatively large HMV store is located in the middle of the lower concourse of the Festival Place shopping centre. It occupies a single level, but still manages to offer a wide range of music, films and games at reasonable prices. HMV seems to do best with chart purchases, but it is also possible to find some more obscure rarities if you browse amongst the shelves. They also often do very good sales offers on DVDs and CDs such as 2 CDs for £10 or DVDs for £5 etc, which can sometimes make the difference between a purchase and not. They also offer a student discount of 10% if you have a discount card, which is very useful. The store is often very popular, and quite busy. There are usually at least some queues when you attempt to purchase things in this store. read more

This HMV store is Located in Festival Place and sells a vast array of CDs, DVDs and games. You can buy all the popular movies, CDs and games but it also has quite a few cheaper more reasonably priced movies and games. I would definately shop here rather than WHSmiths for instance for a DVD etc as apart from being more likely to find what you want you will probably get it at a better price also. read more

This is a pretty well stocked branch of HMV, I think. The floor space is reasonably big and the selection of products is wide-ranging. They seem to have a large range of CDs, DVDs, consoles and games, and various other bits and bobs. Personally I think you could probably get most of this stuff cheaper online, but if you're particularly keen on high street shopping, this is a good place to go. Staff seem friendly and helpful enough. read more
