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.

generalhunter Another thing I've noticed is that Xbox is jumping into a dying market. TV. More and more people are switching to on demand services instead of live TV, it's 2013 people expect more than just it's main focus from stuff these days you don't just buy a phone to make phone calls and texts anymore people want to browser the internet on 4G check their email using apps ect...
Well they already have on demand tv services like netflix and hulu so... Anyway what's wrong with jumping into the market? It's not like they will be losing money. They are just giving customers that have cable the ability to access through their xbox. I also wouldn't exactly say companies like Direct Tv are dying either.

slapshot101 It's crazy that some people don't even know the price and they are Pre-Ordering. I am surprised at the Pre-orders being high for the new Xbox.
Not everyone cares about the price. Fans are Fans.

GG trying to get 4G in one of the largest user bases, the UK. Only large cities (and then only a small proportion of them) have 4G at avery expensive rate
