I bought a gameboy advance SP yesterday in Game, they didnt have a game i was looking for , Supermario2 .. now i was expecting a price tag of around €35, which itself is woefully over priced for old snes games, but thats a different complaint. Anyway ... couldnt find it ,so headed over to HMV , nearly had a heart attack…

Anyway ... couldnt find it ,so headed over to HMV , nearly had a heart attack when i seen what they where charging ... a whopping €57.99, just checked cdwow and its €37.95 .
How can they justify such an obvious ripoff ?

Doubt if they can justify such an obviously example of blatant overcharging. All I can add is, thank heavens for the www, and the increasing popularity of "Shopping online". For most items at reasonable prices. It is the only way too go!.
