7-Eleven wants to be your....game retailer?

Usually when we think of 7-Eleven we think of quick stops to get snacks or a Slurpee. Now the convience store is making a major push into video game retailing. We've already reported on how the company is teaming up with casual MMO company Nexon for a Slurpee promotion but now 7-Eleven wants to sell even more games to its customers.

This month, 7-Eleven stores will sell seven major game titles including the PC version of Fallout 3 and World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. This is not just something the company is doing for the holidays but a new year-round product catagory that they see expanding into not just the big high profile games but also smaller value priced titles. We will have to see if 7-Eleven can seriously challenge the Walmarts and Gamestops of the world.

Since I hate both Walmart and Gamestop, I may have to give them a chance since I haven't got Fallout 3 yet.Posted at 6:12PM on Nov 20th 2008 by Mike

if they keep selling games early like with gears 2 ill be happy to get games from themPosted at 6:29PM on Nov 20th 2008 by Steven M

it might work. since most 7-11s are open 24 hrs it beats out plenty of stores for availability except walmart. but 7-11s are so spread out it's not a terrible convenience..Posted at 3:48PM on Nov 23rd 2008 by Burritoranthrume
