    Well done, sir. Stick it to these thieving bastards who were happily selling the vouchers in the run up to Xmas in the full knowledge that they would never be redeemed.

    If it's like the one I had on the Amiga it's about creating a profitable network. I also had an airline one where you start off shipping boxes of bananas in the Congo and end up controlling London, New York, Huddersfield, etc. Hours of fun.

    Have to feel for the staff. They're about to lose their jobs and are being told to defend the indfensible. All a bit counter productive because if HMV does stay in one form or another then the publicity around this is the last thing it needs.

    ****'em. They don't have any talent to contribute to society anyway. Get back to community college HMV staff.

    It should be illegal to refuse to honour them. The ****s that ran the company knew that this was coming, yet they still continued to sell them. That's basically fraud.
    Thieving bastards.
