Blockbuster UK finds buyer
With GAME's troubles of last year, the demises of Blockbuster and HMV left UK high street games retail with worryingly threadbare prospects. The administration process leaves Blockbuster with just over half of the 500 stores it had before, while HMV's high street presence is facing a similar level of cutback. However, both the Telegraph and the Financial Times are reporting restructuring specialist Hilco is close to securing a deal to buy HMV, having taken control of the retail chain's debt.

Before all of it's financial problems being public knowledge it was very popular, however a lot of stores have now closed and some customers wont want to go there anymore. Also, rental stores seem to be going downhill in my opinion because of services like Netflix, so I wouldn't be surprised if the company went completely into administration in the future.
