    Virgin in Belfast has been Zavvi for a good while - since maybe Halloween I'd say. I'm an HMV man though.

    I'd noticed all the ones I'd come across in other places around the UK had been rebranded early last year, they just seem to be taking a lot longer to bother with them over here. They have half done the one in Liffey Valley now but left up the main signs over the shop for the moment so as not to confuse people too much I guess.

    I'd be willing to bet those "dirty old men" types would still be up in arms if their daughters were spoken to like that!


    Yea your right i dont understand who anyone could side with somebody who said that.

    The uk ones were changed over in November, Irish ones are officially Zavvi from this week on and the main signs over the shop will be taken down and replaced.
