HMV and Blockbuster are going into administration.

It's sad news, although does anyone else think it's a bad thing for the wrong reasons? It seems very easy to make the decision and gain publicity from it. This gives me the feeling it's done for a short term boost to see if they can dig themselves out the mess. Comet has gone, they've ceased trading but surely there's ways they can learn to avoid the drop. I don't personally buy the online e-shopping is ruining it, who doesn't have their own online shop these days? It's just a case of making sure your in the market price wise.

If amazon can keep the costs down, surely a bigger company should be trying to make sure they can? Thank god for Mr Trew who didn't take this option when in all fairness he probably should of done.

makes me wonder who will fall next, it doesn't look good. companies need to adapt to changes, some of the ones which have fallen before are ones who was stuck in time and not focusing on modern ways. blockbuster wont be missed, they had their chance of getting into the streaming business and stumbled.

i hope no more close down. it's horrible, just the media who make life depressing.
