The vast majority of Xbox 360 owners have at one point or another have to deal being without their Xbox 360, most likely because it was in for repairs.

A Yale student, Jesse Maiman, lost his Xbox 360 for good at the airport. He then filed a lawsuit against US Airways, seeking his loss and damages covered by $1 million. A new Xbox 360 on the other hand, retails for $399. Maiman claims the console had a “specialized” hard drive, most likely meaning that the content on the drive (e.g. save games) were of great value — something any gamer could understand. But $1 million?

Claimed to be more than just a video game store, Gamer Doc is showing great strides as an entertainment center, featuring “Gamer Centers” for Xbox 360(R), PlayStation3(R) and Wii(R), making it easy for customers to find the games, consoles and accessories they are looking for. Gamer Doc also sells flat-panel HD monitors and cables, offers console and disc repairs, and the knowledgeable staff can show customers how to hook-up their systems for optimum game play.

Designed to provide an enjoyable shopping experience for everyone, Gamer Doc customers who know what they want can come in and buy, rent, sell, pre-order or trade-in games, drop off a console or game for repair, and be in and out of the store quickly, while those who are new to gaming or want to browse, can take their time and have all of their questions answered.

“Our franchisees are very excited to be part of the video game industry, which continues to experience robust sales even in this sluggish economy,” Belanger said. “More and more consumers of all ages, from kids to parents to senior citizens, are choosing video games as the best value and the most fun for their entertainment dollar.”
