RadioShack.com to offer 1100+ games and Xbox 360s?Published by hq_hacker_girl on Tuesday, August 23, 2005
Radio Shack has not been known to be the first stop for most serious gamers’ needs. A cable here, an audio adapter there — console peripherals are mostly what you’ll find on the company web site’s current Gaming section (except for the lone Nintendo DS on offer here). If a CAG forum user (with a relevant corporate logo as his or her avatar) is to be believed, however, RadioShack will begin to offer over 1100 games and a bit more hardware on RadioShack.com by the end of the month, including pre-orders for the Xbox 360. Brick & mortar stores will apparently not stock the new selection, but will allow customers to order from the web site in-store instead (dealing with shelf-space and inventory issues in one e-tailing blow).
Now there’s not much proof here to go on beyond the word of a dedicated CAG forum member, but CAG has been good to us before (see the DS price-drop rumor), so this news should not be dismissed lightly. Also, if RadioShack maintains its free ground shipping option (for orders $50 and up?), we may have a new destination for a variety of games you can’t find in most big-box retailers. The actual prices for whatever games are carried will probably make or break this deal, so here’s hoping RadioShack execs know what the market will bear. At the very least, we’ll hopefully have one more place to try when Xbox 360 (or other next-gen console) pre-order stock runs low. As long as they don’t simply throw more electronic poker and checkers handhelds at us, I’ll be satisfied.
