Xbox One pre-orders break Blockbuster records
"At Blockbuster, we have a fantastic array of adrenaline-fuelled console games for sale or rental. Our expert staff know gaming and they know consoles and these pre-orders are testament to our customers' trust in us as a leading gaming retailer."
Morton added: "With Sony releasing the PS4 in the near future, the next few months are going to be an exciting time for our staff and customers at Blockbuster and we can't wait to hear more details from both Sony and Microsoft at the E3 Expo next month."
Meanwhile, the German arm of online giant Amazon has begun listing Xbox One for pre-order with a price tag of €599 (£513), although this is likely just a placeholder. Zavvi has predicted an Xbox One price of £400 and release date November 30.
Microsoft announced Xbox One last Tuesday, when it said the console will launch around the world later this year.
Following the TV and entertainment heavy Xbox One reveal event, Xbox UK marketing manager Harvey Eagle promised: "E3 is absolutely all about the games. E3 is gaming, gaming, gaming. We've been very clear about that internally in our planning."
Microsoft's E3 press conference kicks off at 10am Pacific Time on June 10.

Snowfl4k3z I bet most of them are the child's parents.

Monster-Munchsoomboodeh Whats the point of pre orfering a console thats going to be your next TV and the live cost 120 or more a year XD PS4 FTW
This is what i think as well
I like paying $60 a year for it, it makes me feel good knowing that it's secure. (it might not be secure but it makes me think it is) Xbox didn't get hacked like the Ps4. Not trying to start a which is better as I haven't decided which I am going to get. (maybe both)
