Finally there may be some competition for Amazon.

Engadget reported that Newegg, one of the busiest online electronics stores in the US is about to open for business in Europe, including the UK.

Newegg expects to start trading at the end of March. The retailer, which is especially well known for its PC and component sales, claims to have 25 million registered users and 8.5 million subscribers to its regular email bulletin.

This is not going to be easy for Newegg to take on Amazon but any competition is healthy.
