Totally bummed out...

So, I just found out that Virgin Megastore will be closing today at the end of operation for good, instead of the original May 31 closing date. I think that sucks! That's where I go to update my Cher collection if I need to. DBF and I usually stay in there for hours when we go to DTD. Well, we're ready for DTD to be even more dead than it is now.

Wow, wonder why they moved up the date?

Any news as to whats going in that spot?

Nothing. They're going to follow the Pleasure Island pattern and leave the building empty and put a street performer in front of the entrance.

Last rumour I heard was an I-Max cinema I'd rather have Virgin though, it's the only reason we went to the West Side

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Wow. If they really did close, they must have had a lot of inventory left. We were there not too terribly long ago, and there were loads and loads of things left (all but what I wanted, of course)! LOL.

They must have sold it all to an off market shop for a more cost effective measure than keeping it open would have been?

Is Disney trying to dismantle DTD in it's entirety? It's absolutely ruined PI. The "new entertainment" there is a total embarrassment. Now, the west side, which has always been slowish and rather boring has less to recommend it. I know that Virgin's closing wasn't a Disney thing, but...

Very sad. I had been planning on stopping by this weekend, then saw it closed yesterday. Got a few cd's for 20% off (shrek and in the heights broadway cd's) then extra 10% off for AP discount. Probably could have gotten them cheaper on ebay, but I wanted them.

The IMAX Cinema is going into the existing AMC building as an additional theatre. The latest rumor I heard is that they may bring an Apple Store to DTD in place of Virgin.

Wow. Movie marathon!

Yeah, movies on a budget

I go away for 4 days and DTD takes yet another tumble for the worst!

I agree with Rob. I'm sure they'll come up with "an exciting, new entertainment offering" but will make sure it's known, "the store is not reopening"
