Hhgregg Enters the Video Game Retail Fray on Black Friday
November 24, 2008 | 3:13 PM PST

So apparently, there's a retailer of electronics and appliances named hhgregg. I have no idea how to pronounce that; I assume you start by making some sort of sound in your throat, like you're trying to cough something up. Anyway, if you were to go in there today, you would find that they don't sell games. However, if you go in after Thanksgiving, you'll find that just the opposite will hold true.
"As hhgregg continues its disciplined growth, we are committed to continually assessing our product offerings to best meet the needs of our customers," said hhgregg Chairman and CEO, Jerry Throgmartin. "We are pleased to now offer our loyal patrons some of the most popular merchandise in the gaming market today. hhgregg will provide our customers with a convenient, one-stop gaming solution, packaging gaming consoles with its respective games, controllers and other accessories. This customer-friendly gaming package will make a great gift for the upcoming holiday season."

hhgregg's initial assortment of gaming inventory will include Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade, Xbox 360 Pro, Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii. In addition, hhgregg will offer top gaming accessories for these platforms, including "Guitar Hero" and Wii accessories. The company will also be carrying hand-held gaming devices, such as Nintendo DS and Sony PSP. -- Press Release, via Kotaku
So there you have it: If you live in one of the nine states that has a hhgregg, then they might be a good place to check this holiday if you need a new console or something.
