Yeah Vinyl is great, your notion will not kill off CD's and that for sure. No other places had a great selection of DVD's and Blu-Ray like HMV and hopefully their stock and ordering is just as great.
HMV was mismanaged. They devoted it seems a third of their floor space to books and comic book merchandise and posters and electronics - stuff that people could get elsewhere.. I never saw anybody buying any of that stuff, although I did buy a pair of headphones... The point is, it was slow moving... they should have stuck with CDs and DVDs. But music is very MP3 now, downloadable. So, maybe they should have got rid of the CDs too? DVDs make sense, however. .. Because I think most people want to see a movie on a stationary screen rather than attempt to eat and hold a tablet at the same time.

If you assume that they wish to destroy the Judaic concept of family, the way the technology is changing and the laws and policies with respect to how information is transmitted, makes sense, and the changes seen, and yet to come, predictable. .. that said, have you ever wondered how some stores are able to pay rent?

halfhumanhalfzombie Agreed. Unfortunately I was quite young at the time and thus did not have a job or $ to buy games. Otherwise I definitely would have bought games from them.
You go, Doug. I’m a weekly visitor to your Sunrise here at the WEM in Edmonton. Thank you for believing in the joy of music and us true music fans/collectors. As long as you have your stores, you will have my (very regular) business.
Hopefully this is good news for CD/Vinyl collectors in Canada!
Still open as of this comment. Bought a few CD's there last week.
100% correct
This is great Sunrise rules.
He sounds and looks like a k Matt Tobey from the office
I'm glad Sunrise took over; we got two supposedly blurays and they were NOT bluray, HMV was a ripoff!~ Probably why it closed.
Sunrise looks exactly like the former HMV.
Do sunrise records have kpop albums?
No

Could not be at a better time, NOT.
good luck
I hope they sell DVD"s otherwise.... WTF HMV!?
halfhumanhalfzombie People still like vinyl. Downloaded music can't be autographed, like CDs or vinyl can.

halfhumanhalfzombie Hope so too.
halfhumanhalfzombie They said when they made the announcement that they would also be selling DVDs, but would have more focus on music.
+puppymolly123 Cool, thanks a lot for telling me that.
Sunrise was dead and now their coming back to buy dead HMV, this can't end well.

I loved it when they had Video Games. Sucks no-one else bought enough as I had.
halfhumanhalfzombie Agreed. Unfortunately I was quite young at the time and thus did not have a job or $ to buy games. Otherwise I definitely would have bought games from them.
+puppymolly123 Yes, definately. I remember they had PS2, PS3, Xbox360, Wii and psp games and consoles. That's a shame they discontinued
Sunrise needs to get DVDs and obscure content and anime. I still buy anime and Asian films on dvd.
HMV in my opinion is THE place for vinyl collectors.
Why would anyone buy records over CDs
No, HMV was better than Sunrise Records
Dylan De Jesus Apart from the prices they were selling.
Bought a new record from Sunrise...4 out of 5 songs skipped on one side...beware!
