Bit of a bummer, I'd got all my fridges, washing machines etc.. from there. I even bought my wife's netbook from there. Dunno what PC World is doing differently, they were always more expensive. Could they be next?

My inkling is that more expensive => more profit on sales => more money to cover costs.

However the simple fact is that both Currys and comet sold things that could be found cheaper online.

Was there a hundred yard wide smoking crater where it used to be? That would have been appropriate somehow.
