Edit: just noticed ‘Currys Mobile’, which I assume didn’t exist before and is just the replacement of the Carphone Brand which still seems to be online also.

Just checked the Wayback Machine, and even two days ago that address just redirected to Currys' homepage. And that redirect's only been in place since last year. So yeah, it's new.

Manchester's White City branch has had the rebrand for at least a couple of weeks now.

I'm surprised the name survived this long to be completely honest. But to update/add my 2 cents: My local Curry's PC World now has the new new Purple sign above it, as does every Curry's PC World I've seen (in Liverpool, Wigan, Manchester, man I've been travelling a lot recently). Are there still any shops left that haven't been rebranded yet?

As for the name change, I saw it coming ages ago. I will never associate Curry's with selling Laptops, but having it be the sole brand name makes sense, since it was the oldest.
