HMV tanks

So HMV is finally gone, Blockbuster is gone and so is Jessops (but they were shit anyway). Any guesses as to what's next?
Do you think we'll have a high street by the end of the decade?

I predict the High Street will subsist of Starbucks (they're safe because they pay no tax), mobile phone shops and takeaway outlets.
How exciting for us.

Not much sympathy here for HMV as they have always ripped the public off. When Blu-rays first came out they were changing £25 a film.

Oh I totally agree; they've brought this on themselves by being greedy bastards and not moving with the times. Same goes for Blockbuster.
I was pondering aloud whether we'll have much of a selection of shops on the high street the way things are going. I do like the convenience of Amazon and use it as much as anyone. I just feel that we'll soon be left with nothing else. I miss the days of the independent record store, records, second hand bookshops and the like.

You see why I posted on the Oldies thread.
