Blockbuster expands its video game offeringsDVDBack23 @ Apr 28, 2008 22:12 | 4 comments
The announcement comes just two weeks after Blockbuster made a billion dollar bid for the struggling retailer Circuit City in an effort to get a bigger foothold in the video game industry.
Blockbuster customers can now buy software, hardware, and accessories for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS at all the company's 4100 locations. There will also be more games available for sale and rental and there will be an expansion of genres available for each system.
There was no word on whether there would be PSP or PC offerings and it seems at this point that the two platforms have been snubbed from the company's expansion.
In addition, the company will be offering exclusive promotions such as PS3 bundles. One such bundle is a $499 PS3 bundle "that will include a 40GB system, an HDMI cable, Spider-Man 3 on Blu-ray, Activision's Transformers game, a Blu-ray DVD remote, and one free Blu-ray or PS3 game rental per week for 12 weeks."
