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.

My Blockbuster never sold game consoles, I always took them for a movie store but with Netflix I guess they have to expand into new areas like video games.

ShadowBoltDashieNinjaWizard Blockbuster is still around? Wow, thought they were gone.
They all closed down were I used live a few years back, but I guess there are still some out there.
I never even heard of those shops, I guess that's why I'm from Belgium :)

ShadowBoltDashieFrog People pre-ordered the console without even knowing the price? Wow! They must be pretty dedicated to Microsoft...
If the console was like $800 and people pre-ordered it without knowing the price, I'd imagine they would feel pretty stupid or at least I would.
I would still buy it to be honest, whatever the price was.

That's what I did with the PS4. I was getting it anyway, whatever the price was.
