HMV has been running a trial multiplayer gaming centre in its HMV Trocadero store in London and it's gone down so well that the company has announced plans to roll out gaming centres in stores across the UK.
The centre was provided by multiplayer gaming outfit, Gamerbase, which HMV has just bought, and the first gaming centre outside London will be at HMV's Manchester store. That Gamerbase will be located next to the games department, have 50 gaming units over 2,000 sq ft and allow punters to have a 'try before you buy' experience.
It will also play host to a host of gaming competitions. The decision comes as the first Gamerbase increased games sales in the Trocadero store.
So HMV stores across the U.K will be testing this new feature out and see how the gaming public reacts.
