Seems like a good idea to me. Every PC World I know of is within 100m of a Curry's store. Having that many stores is a waste of space and money. Especially considering their inventories are near identical and the prices are the same.

They have some crossover ranges with laptops and desktop units but there is a lot you can buy in a PC world that you can't in Curry's and vice verser. I am yet to see a PC World sell a washing machine.

Brick and mortar retail vs Online sales... Inattentive and ill informed 'sales staff' vs Webpages full of detailed info, and links to even more detailed info and reviews. All at a lower price than the Store...

Does not need a wiz kid to figure out who is going to win in the long run.
