Awesome. I'd shop there, depending on prices.

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?



You do not have the right to never be offended.

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?

I don't know... usually, such infrastructure generates a cost...

I never bought anything from the Sony store because they always have the higuer price....



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

That's what I was thinking. You'd probably be fine if you were shopping for an Xbox 360 or games, but I'd rather use a store like that to take a look and try out something (like a Zune) then turn around and buy it online if I liked it :P

I'd rather just stick to Newegg for anything PC related.

I can guarantee you that there is more than just 1 person in this thread your comment should be aimed at.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I guess this kills off any theories that the Xbox 3 was going to be purely digital distribution.

I'm not sure I can see a whole lot of benefit to this, with the exception of the Zune aren't all of their products stocked by all major retailers? It's not exactly opening a whole new revenue stream.
