We went in Currys the other week with a shopping list - we needed a new combi microwave, cordless vac and a Freesat PVR. The in-store prices of all three items were just ridiculous. We came home and got a Dyson Digital Slim from an independent retailer via Amazon, an Echostar PVR from another independent store and the microwave from the co-op online.
DSG may have the last large, dedicated chain of electrical stores but it only has anything resembling a monopoly if you're unable or unwilling to buy your goods online.
