I like the way they've got it splashed across the homepage, in the slider.

That'll get some attention.

Nice, that's definitely a huge win for BTC, and makes a lot of sense.  Might as well adopt to retailers geared towards the nerdy crowd lol..those most likely to be BTCing!

World's largest?  This store sells more than http://www.gamestop.com/ and http://ebgames.com/ ?  Seems unlikely.

Was elated about this news. Wanted to use bitcoins to buy game credits.

Wow, that's a nice big mention of Bitcoin there in that slider, and also that pretty big "Bitcoin accepted" image near the bottom of the page.  Hopefully things like this would encourage more games and electronics retailers to accept Bitcoin...

Don't worry about that. Nowadays everything is the best, everyone is an expert, and now every site is the largest in its category.

This is great news - I expect many, many more ecommerce platforms to join the party after the senate hearing yesterday!

Their Facebook page seems pretty active with 80K+ fans, so even if they are not the biggest they still have a decent sized user base.

Not saying they've done it, but you could buy lots of fans cheap for bitcoin at Bitmit.

A lot of their games aren't even in stock. Looks like a company that just re-sells digital codes they have bought from people?

I used to buy stuff at them,They are good and pretty famous but not close to gamestop . Too "exaggerated" to be considered the world's largest.
