It is possible to walk away with an iPad or Galaxy Tab 70% less than its normal price. If the transaction is valid until May 25, there is little chance that everyone is benefiting.

soon the end of Virgin Megastore

Virgin Megastore has launched the operation after the approval of the administrator appointed by the commercial court after the bankruptcy decided in January.
