PlayStation Home Gets First Real Retailer

As Blockbuster goes up for sale

Posted by Staff
In what can be read as a canny move into the inevitable rise of digital-only game retail - or a capitulation in the face of it - bricks'n'mortar game retailer the Game Group has become the first commercial retailer to rent space in PlayStation Home.

It's 'Moonbase' offers the standard social networking shibboleths about 'hanging out' and 'sharing info on the latest PS3 games'. However, given that publishers and platform holders - and third parties such as Steam - are gaining the whip hand in retail, this early adoption by Game is at the very least, brave.
