Games increasing on the High Street

It's interesting to see giants like HMV shifting their focus onto the games market. It really is proving that the erosion of traditional media has got them scared. This can only be a good thing for the games industry as a whole - more competition should free up the market and might hopefully stop Game's relentless pursuit of the secondhand market, which is undoubtable a very short-sighted way of making profit.

Personally, I always try to buy a game I like brand-new, I want to see money go to the developers. Game's cheeky profit margins on secondhand goods is getting ridiculous.
