A cheap CD store with a good selection. Vancouver was (is) one of the cheapest places to get (legal) CDs that I've been to and this store is the reason. Virgin had to leave town with its unused tail between its legs because it couldn't compete on price. The already mentioned Zulu records is okay for the locals (best selection and service) but expensive, and how hard is that to find in the UK? Also, try to find the free "HUB Magazine" for local computer stuff which is a deal.
