I know- its a bloody rip off- HMV here in Ireland are a bunch of $^^%$^ merchants. There seems to be no price control here and they do whatever they like- especially sice Zavvi closed down. They practice 'price gouging'.
The Elephant Man was 28.99 but The Deer Hunter was 22.99...they jack up the prices on any titles they think are more desirable. 'Go' is 29.99...for an ancient catalog title? Monster's Inc. was 39.99 on release date- 2 weeks ago it was 24.99...last week back to 34.99...Ronin, don't laugh, at one branch is actually selling for 31.99...
Disgusting really, and the customer service there is appalling. Buy 99% of my discs online now.

EDIT By Mod for libel remark
