Yes - a good point indeed!

Absolutely. As Almar has already stated, extra shelf space and / or specialist displays don't come cheap, so if Shameless have paid Zavvi overall for this deal and some stores aren't bothering their arse, then I'd be looking at getting a proportion of that money back.

Liverpool Zavvi had all the titles, forward facing in their horror section, but no special Shameless display. I was going to take a picture but I was a tad drunk, couldn't work my camera and my mates were dragging me to the nearest pub!

I just went to the massive mall near Bristol called Cribbs Causeway. I was hoping the huge virgin would have this offer on but I didn't even see one Shameless title!

But at least the website has all the shameless titles at 7.99 might just order a few off there

I'm in Brighton next week so I'll check out the Zavvi there, my Zavvi in York still has nothing Shameless wise. Just endless amounts of space devoted to sales.

[Almar@Cult Labs]

Yeah we're still trying to crush an answer as to what the deal is to the weird stocking situation.

Oh I've been at it again in HMV in my home-town of Burton-on-Trent this time.



I was just passing and worked my magic (they had three more, Black Cat, Phantom of Death and Torso, I think)

The Yellow cases make spotting them very easy as no other horror titles have them and only a couple(like The Ex) normal titles have them.

I think this man deserves a freebie Almar for all this shelf sorting mate.....

[Almar@Cult Labs]

I'd say you were right Reap!

Back to Zavvi I have it on good authority the offer there will likely come to an end soon. I can't promise this is the case and I have to be careful here in case the titles remain for weeks to come and I look like a big fat liar but it's so hard getting feedback from a senior level I have to go with what I'm hearing from the shop floor.

It seems as if the titles have been doing well in the stores they were decently stocked in but the ?8 offer isn't forever so I'd like the hardcore faithful to be able to snap 'em up cheap. Worst case scenario is that we disappear completely in the next couple of weeks from Zavvi stores but obviously we'll be fighting to prevent that. Who knows? I don't!

To everyone who has been picking up the titles and sending in images thank you very much indeed for your efforts - they really are appreciated.

Don't like the sound of this Almar......
