    Gamerbase opens to offer '1st Class Gaming' in HMV, Piccadilly

    Positioned as the world's most advanced gaming centre, Gamerbase is a project backed by Intel, Microsoft and Dell - that sits inside HMV at Piccadilly. Now open to the public, we spoke with founder, Sujoy Roy, during the build up process...

    Impressive build up on this project - must have set some kind of record !

    Over the next 2 weeks, HEXUS.tv will show you around the inside and speak with the key people from HMV, Intel, Dell, Razer etc that helped to make it happen

    Having seen it in the flesh - you have to say that this does seem to represent one great possible future for high-street-retailing

    I kept 6 trusted serving men, they taught me all I knew.
    There names were what and where and why and how and when and who.


    (I also had the HEXUS forums on speed dial just in case )

    Does look pretty funky, looking forward to the next videos. Didn't they do something like this in Birmingham recently too? Maybe I'm imagining that.

    I work seconds away from HMV, on Lower Regent Street. Might have to pop in on a lunch break!

    For those on the look out, I'm the one wearing stupid Christmas outfits and can usually be found drinking. Oh wait, Leicester Square in December... that hasn't narrowed it down.

    Came across this when I was out doing my Christmas shopping the other day, and it is indeed pretty impressive to look at, though I didn't hang around to have a good look around. All those XPS and tfts made it a rather hot place...
