No, because it never bloody happens. Using your brain is a bit of a chore? you know, actually pulling your head out of your pathetic behind and realising that this will be like all the other Microsoft 'ideas' - f*ck the rest of the world, only the US matters.
But as it is a United States based company I can't see being that ****ed that they don't add your resident country.

Microsoft or any other brand won't open a store to compete with their partners in prices. It is natural that they sell the products for the retail price with no discount.
I accept that, but the question then becomes, why bother opening the store? The quality is going to be the same wherever you purchase it from, so the factor that most customers have to go on is price. Who, in their right minds, and especially in the current economic climate, wants to pay more for a product?
They only sell Microsoft-branded games made by....
(wait for it)

And offers more than the previous versions offered.
