About HMV
Music, film and games
Music comes on CD and vinyl, from new releases and exclusive editions to older albums. Film fans can choose between DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD, and there are complete TV series in box sets. Video games for different consoles sit alongside them. HMV's case for physical media is better sound and picture quality, plus something real to keep on the shelf.
For collectors
The merchandise side is big. Expect Funko Pop figures, action figures and limited-edition memorabilia, plus band and film t-shirts, hoodies and posters. Most of it ties in with music, film, TV or gaming franchises.
