Now they're truly your one-stop shop. 7-Eleven, the 24-hour convenience store, has announced that they are dipping into the gaming business by selling games in their branches.

And we're not just talking about scratch-and-win-a-prize kind of games here. We're talking hardcore platform games. Don't believe us? Here's the list of their "AAA" Video Games to be stocked on their shelves for the holidays:

Guitar Hero: World Tour Band Kit (Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii)
Fallout 3 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC)
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (PC)
007: Quantum of Solace (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2)
Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)
WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2)
Call of Duty: World at War (PS3, Xbox 360)

Prices for these games are tagged at SRPs of US$ 59.99 for the Xbox 360 and PS3, US$ 49.99 for the Wii, and US$ 39.99 for the PS2

Actually, these titles are available this holidays, but them selling video games is an all-year round business. Says Michael Jester, 7-Eleven category manager for gaming and electronics,

This is not just a holiday promotion for us, but a brand new product line-up that will be available year-round. We may not be a total entertainment destination... yet, but we're hoping to expand our selection beyond the high-dollar, hot-selling games to include options for all budgets, like value-priced video games as well as DVD movies. For consumers wanting convenient one-stop shopping for at-home entertainment along with groceries and gas or who just want to avoid big-store shopping inconveniences, their local 7-Eleven is open and ready.

And they've got something for MMO gamers, too. They'll also be offering a broad selection of online game gift cards for your virtual needs Their card line-up includes the following: Nexon, Habbo, Gaia, Guild Wars, gPotato, Runescape, Aeria, City of Heroes, Exteel, ijji, IMVU, Neopets and Sim2 prepaid game cards for denominations of US$ 10 and US$ 25.

They even have prepaid cards for the Sony PSN and Xbox 360 XBL. Talk about well-rounded line-up, eh? That's 7-Eleven, 24/7, 365 for you.

They also broke the street date for Lich King.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they broke more street dates for other games to come. They seem to already have a bad record of it. :-p

I think some branches have started selling games earlier than most. Perhaps, what's been going on for the past couple of weeks/months in other branches was simply a test-run by management. Now, they're formalizing it via press release. That's the news.

Nexon and 7/11 started dating some time back. I guess Nexon's given it all up to 7/11 because you can get free CDs with Mabinogi, Maplestory, and Combat Arms at 7/11 as well as slurpee cups with Nexon prize codes on them. Like I told my wife: Nexon must suck some good ***** because 7/11 can't get enough. ;)
