Collector’s Editions have been announced for many of the biggest releases in the run-up to Christmas and Q1 2010. However, it seems the games industry is divided over the value of these SKUs. Only a quarter of the users in the latest MCV
online survey believe such products generate enough sales to justify the extra shelf space they eat up. Take part in MCV’s next poll at www.mcvuk.com

FROM THE FRONTLINE Nindie.com speaks to Console Connections’ Chris Bowman… What makes your store unique? We are well known in our area with over ten years in the trade. We have a large back catalogue of games for all platforms and offer good customer service and value for money. What has been performing well? The obvious non-performer at the moment is the DS – mainly due to the R4 cards. The Xbox 360 is our top performer but the PS3 has been catching up in the past few months.
“If we start giving gamers premium products for less, they will expect it all the time.”
What are the biggest challenges you face? I think the rise of downloads is inevitable in the future and will affect all games retailers sooner or later. But at the moment, the biggest problem is the unnecessary discounting of triple-A titles: the recent release of FIFA 10 being a prime example.

What is the one thing you would change about games retail? I think we need a retail pricing scheme similar to the French model. It would help against the devaluing of products because, once we start giving consumers premium products for less, they will expect it all the time. In the end, it sends us into a big downward spiral that is hard to stop.
