Video game makers are facing an uncertain Christmas

The game business is now bigger than Hollywood and last year the nation's largest game seller racked up over $2 billion in holiday sales.

It's a fairly expensive product line to push and the industry is battling to boost that bottom line.

Black Friday marks the beginning of a holiday season where sales growth is not expected to cover inflation.

That hasn't stopped shoppers, looking for a bargain, from turning out.

Guitar Hero World Tour shortage pushes up price...

Retailers are using the limited supply of the game and band kit to charge up to $300 when the list price is $189.

It's supply and demand they say, in the run up to Christmas, the busies time for video games sales.

So if you're looking for any of the above this Christmas get shopping now as prices are sure to rise in the lead up to December 25th.
