Comet is largely insolvent and has recently been sold for a token £2 to a "retail turnaround" outfit called OpCapita: http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/business-news/kesa_s...

You expect this sort of thing if you go to the Bowlers computer fair, but not at Comet!

Oh man I used to go that fair when I was young with my dad, buying the latest upgrades for my computer so i can play the latest games. There was a lot of pirating as you say. I haven't really been for 10 years, since everything's online now and i'm not really into hardware anymore. Memories.

I don't think the sale has completed yet, I wonder if this will make the new buyers think that £2 might be a bit much after all..
