My friend will be opening a videogames rental/console hub entertainment establishment in the near future. Next gen consoles (all of them), plasma HDTVs and TV projection units, the works. He has asked of me to come up with a catchy non-registered name for the establishment.

I come to you GAF folk for assistance. Any ideas?

i'd just call it "PvP"

simple, easy to remember and sums up the business

No. The only people who would recognize it would be hardcore gamers. Completely alienating casuals who would be the biggest market for rentals. And why would player vs. player sum up a game rental?

As someone that has this in the latest planning and financial stages I can offer some advice you might want to take into consideration. Don't go plasma, waste of money. Look at the new DLP's coming out or something similar. Are you renting the play out for them? Are you carrying food items for people to buy while they play (very very important and huge money maker)? Remember leechers!= customers, especially important when considering the area you are opening in. Not saying it's a bad idea to have them because I have the exact same thing planned but I do suggest spending time in a lan cafe that may have a similar set up and asking them how much they make and keeping on eye on the clientele and seeing what moves. Lan cafes rarely last or make money for a good reason, don't make similar mistakes.

Just call it "The place." Even non gamers will be curious to find out wtf it is.

 

[Rocket Punch]

He wanted to make it an acronym... I can't remember. Something like T.C.M.H. or something but I think it should be something that anyone can relate to. PvP is to harcore. I think it should be something short and memorable, like Games Bunker or something. The main problem is it's hard to come up with names that are not yet registered.

It's not my store so anything with huzkee won't fly
