Can't say I didn't see it coming, I don't think I've ever seen a good deal in HMV and consumers are much smarter these days. I haven't bought a blu-ray or game from HMV for two years when, on the day of a "buy one, get one free" sale on most of their blu-rays, some lazy store assistant had updated all the prices but forgotten to take the old ones off. Would you believe it, they'd all doubled in price on the same day the offer started.
