But aren't you the likely type of person who loves MP3 downloading, and putting said MP3's onto MP3 players like the iPod? If you are, than this store is for you, and therefore that makes you....A LOITERING NERD!

Much like the Apple store, this promises to be nothing less than a public, multimedia babysitter for loitering nerds.

I'm a litte mystified about what you could possibly post about on facebook while standing at HMV. "Hai guise, I r at HMV!111one"?

Oh good, another lifestyle store to saturate our social time with branding and glitter.

sigh. WHERE is my music-automat, where I can sit down, pour through an enormous library of music, spanning thousands of artists, albums, tracks, genres, labels, all in one place, where I pick what I want how I want, and then have it burned, DRM-free to a CD/DVD while I sip on a latte and chat with my friends? Oh right, that's my house! But, newsflash to HMV: I will pay HMV money to do this in their store. God help HMV if Apple ever opens an iTunes Music Store kiosk somewhere, like say in a Starbucks. Oh, wait, they're kind of on the verge of doing this in the States...
