First Pay to Play

HMV's Flagship store on Princes Street Edinburgh is pioneering a new concept called THE GAMING ZONE.

It will span an area of 2,000 square feet and will house 27 360's and HD TV's all linked up to allow gamers to play MMO stylie. Well, almost.

Interestingly enough, this isn't all for free and gamers will have to pay a fiver for three hours' play. Is this to disuade the school kids, that usually hog the consoles in GAME and Gamestation, from playing truant I wonder?

If you're in Edinburgh on Friday this week check it out but there could be "lengthy queues" according to the branch McManager.

Does THE GAMING ZONE make you want to bunk off school or work for that matter? Would paying a fiver stop you?? GAMEOV3R has some spare change.
