Blockbuster almost went bust in the UK just a few months ago. I find the idea of using their preorder details quite laughable- I doubt I'd be able to find a single person who'd preorder a console there.
UKwise it'd be GAME who'd be most credible preorder wise as they're our biggest gaming chain.

preorder numbers are important just not from blockbuster IMO, typically they look at BIG stores like bestbuy or gamestop, or amazon etc. You know places go to buy consoles

Guess it depends how big of a reseller blockbuster is in the uk. I don't think they have bestbuy chains. Not sure there regular brick and mortar names.

Indeed, neither Bestbuy or Gamestop exist here, at least not to my knowledge. That said, I didn't know Blockbuster still existed here either. The two near me closed up certainly, and I'm in a pretty affluent area so you'd think if there was anywhere people were gonna flash some cash it'd be this place. Googling it though, there are indeed a couple of stores that can be reached, albeit one is a county over. A better source for figures would be somewhere like GAME - another store that had sell up shop here - or even the big supermarket retailers (Tesco, Sainsbury's Morrison's and so on). After that, yeah, Blockbuster might be the most reliable. The UK doesn't have the "shopping mall" culture of the US, many of us going in only if we have a specific purpose, so oddly enough the town centres have kinda died.

That last line about kinect is both hilarious and scary at the same time.
halfelite:
I think the kinect kinda looks like the head of the robot from short circuit myself.
Will be interesting if ps4 has DRM and used game things as well since they have not officially announced it either way and kept it pretty coy when they did mention it
AceHigh:
I think design of kinect is a very bad one, because it is much bulkier than the tv itself. Did they have to make a brick like that?
