Wasn't GAME so bad financially that they had to close dozens of stores and fire lots of people?

And now they are doing this? I wonder how much will it last.

They got bailed by an Australian firm (I think) they now  trade in electronic goods as well as games.

Thanks, I knew someone bought them, but not that they were selling other goods now. They must be doing fine if they go for something like this.

Still, opening this kind of store is, in my humble opinion, a bad idea as you're aiming at only half the market at best.

It just doesn't make sense.



Please excuse my bad English.

Former gaming PC: i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Current gaming PC: R5-7600, 32GB RAM 6000MT/s (CL30) and a RX 9060XT 16GB

Smart, they probably won't be telling people there to get a PS4 instead.

Why do you keep bringing up the PS4 in every Xbon One thread?

-the two are related

-I've lightened on Xbone bashing considerably these past two days, I admit I went a little overboard around E3, sorry about that

-it seemed funny to me, and I recalled a post about GameStop employees diverting people towards the PS4

I think it's not as clear cut as that.

Yeah, that's why I was joking rather than stating a fact. Would like to hear some more reports about what's going on there.

Anyway sorry for derailing the thread further.

It makes perfect sense, if you think that the only reason they are doing this is because they've been paid to by MS. MS say: "Here's the money to open and first years rent.", Game say: "Thanks." and do as they are asked.

Which still raises the question why MS don't do it, unless they don't want to go through the effort of doing it themselves when a known retailer can be paid to do it for them.



Hmm, pie.

Now, I'm not saying this is a bad move but surely it would be better for MS to open a store themselves advertising their products and have all these features as well as in the back having a few laptops to sell too. If they want to compete with Apple, make Apple like stores themselves.


Microsoft does have stores like these.

When you click share below the video, go to embed and click the option box below, "use old embed code" or something similar. Copy/Cut, paste and done!

 

Anyway, why can't they have one here in Melbourne?!?
