I think eventually they will have microsoft stores in the UK aswell, support in the UK for the 360 is incredible.

All 360 games and pc related goodness under one roof.

 

Conversely I think that if they try to expand beyond the largest population centers they will fail miserably.  Not that London isn't one of those.  But let's be honest, what in the hell are they going to have in their stores that you can't just get anywhere?  An Apple store I understand, since you can't just walk into Best Buy and find several rows of Mac software.  But a MS store?  A store that sells products you can find all over the place?  Who does that appeal to?

 

Well, if the stores are well stocked and have a very high percentage of games on the shelf that may be seen as somewhat rare then it would appeal to me.

I have only seen one copy of NFS most wanted for example in all the games shops i visited recently in north and west london.

Plus, isn't a microsoft only shop bound to have a better overall selection of 360 games as opposed to the old "i'll try my luck" method adopted when looking for a game on the off chance in say gamestation, CEX or GAME?
