Lotusflow3r 3CD set selling for £8.99 in HMV

Couldn't believe my luck yesterday - found the 3CD digipak in HMV for £8.99.

I asked the cashier whether it was the 3cd set (as it was shrink wrapped and I couldnt tell for sure). She said it was. That they'd had it for ages but it had been priced at £29.99 and they weren't allowed to sell it until now.

So go get it UK Orgers...

I paid the whole £29.99p.And it maybe in the sale's but it was worth every penny.from what i have learned HMV had bought too much stock that was originally for orders they couldnt sell too.like myself all the people that ordered a copy went elsewhere.i went to Amazon.

I pre ordered and got mine for £9.99 when it was first released. I saw a few copies in Bangor HMV for £21.99 on Saturday. If I see a copy for £8.99 I'll get it for me car!

even if it is that cheap as it is still officially an import it won't count for the charts due to lack of record company/distribution.

Well it was Staines HMV I picked it up in and there were probably a dozen or more in the racks @ £8.99. Don't know why they would price it differently in other branches!

Actually, to shift some copies he'd just need to do Rock Week (!) on X Factor and he'd be well away.... NOT that that is going to happen!!

It's £21.99 in Oxford Street, London today. They can f*ck off, even if it comes down to £8.99 eventually. Everyone gets ripped off; the artist and the music lover - I hate HMV. mad

Wouldn't having a black guy on Rock Week shortwire the audience's brains? omfg
