The movie rental company said the expansion will allow customers to buy games, hardware and accessories for the Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS game systems at its stores.

Blockbuster also plans to offer more video game rental options.

The move comes shortly after Blockbuster made a hostile takeover bid of just over $1 billion for Circuit City Stores Inc. in hopes of creating a huge chain that would sell electronic gadgets and rent movies and games.

Richmond, Va.-based Circuit City, the nation's second biggest consumer electronics chain, is among the top games retailers.
