Yup Microsoft Are Opening Microsoft Retail Stores

Last month, Kotaku took a tour of Microsoft's "fake" retail store. Meant to show what it would look like "if" Microsoft ever decided to open a dedicated store. Like the ones they're now actually opening.

Whenever a Vista PC or Xbox 360 breaks down, you can take it right back to the source.

"at the microsoft store, we get your money, u get shafted."

The Dude6323d ago

DJ has a point thats what I do with my Sony Sh1t when it dies I take it back to a Sony Store.

Capt CHAOS6323d ago

I think it's a good thing, maybe help add more competition on the highstreet, Apple vs Sony vs MS.

Panthers6323d ago

i dont see the point when you can get all that stuff in a walmart or bestbuy.

Apple stuff is harder to come by because they are dumb. I mean the closest apple store is 50min away from me.

mrdxpr26323d ago

i dont neven have an apple store i think in pr im not sure never heard of it...i bought my imac in bestbuy ...

JeepGamer6323d ago

If you thought cell phone shops and clothing stores with bubble headed teenage clerks were insidious... Wait until you get a load of a Microsoft store.

I wonder if they will be elitist jerks like the Apple Store workers.

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
