So next week the new CoD comes out. We just got our day zero editions via UPS, but now I am reading that "select" retailers are going to be selling the pre-sells a day early. Has anyone heard anything if Target is a select retailer? I scoured Redwire and workbench and found no communication on this. I only JUST got access to the new MySupport finally, but haven't had the time to sit down and send the question.
 
Depends on the contract spot has with the game maker. But don't count on it.
 
Would anybody be willing to do a MySupport? I don't work tomorrow or I'd do one.
 
Yes, Day Zero is being sold a day early. It should have been with the paperwork that was sent with the pre-sell education information for the team members to answer guest questions.

I'm the signing specialist for my store and it was in my mailbox. Gave it to the Electronics TL. Also, the Day Zero stuff will be in this week's All-Store Salesplanner Box.
 
Thanks for the info. When I go back to work I will check with our signing specialist.

That is nice to know, since the Taylor swift release was not mentioned in my store until guests started asking about the CD..

Your signing TM, pogtl, GSTL, etlge, electronics tl and whoever does TNT should have noticed the like, four shippers and two POGs calling for them to set.

Someone needs a coaching.
 
On another note, anyone hear how good the new COD game is supposed to be? Is it as good as MW/MW2?
 
Real quick want to say this now. Activision is shitty for how they are doing this. You see day zero and you get it a day early! OMG! Then you realize that listed on gamestop and on most online retail stores every game sold will be automatically updated to day zero. Meaning they are just releasing it on november 3rd but want people to feel special and preorder.

With that said it looks good. Not to sure how well it will fair do to the exos and other big changes. Anything is better then ghosts though.

I will say this...

I went to E3 and got my hands on the story mode demo that was playable in June and it felt the same as any other CoD game. Even with the addition to the jetpacks and new vehicle system it's pretty lack luster in my opinion. I don't think the new CoD is going to be a big flagship competitive game if you're into that sort of thing but I do believe it's going to give people the same repetitive multiplayer experience the others gave.

If you have a ps4 and want something new I suggest getting planetside2 when it's released early 2015 or holiday of 2014, there's still no official release date that I have seen for the game yet. Any questions feel free to Pm' me.
 
@c9 Rippin
I don't mind repetitive to be honest, don't expect much from a COD game other than what we already know. I really like MW/MW2 though so want to know if it can compare to those in playstyle... Jetpacks sounds like something ridiculous that I will probably hate.
 
So COD was supposed to release Tuesday 11/4 but Day Zero needs to be set by Monday store open? (Just making sure I'm understanding correctly).

Plano/Signing are overnight - not an excuse but this they did hand off. Electronics TL new in position and being run ragged. ETL-GE - Fuckwit, GSTL/GSA - yeah right.

We didn't get half the stuff for the focal end cap.

At my store POG has handled setting all street dates unless we pre-set and leave them for electronics tms to fill for weird street dates (Sundays, Fridays).

We set the Taylor Swift focal and check lane endcap before open. We'll be overnight Sunday into Monday so COD day zero will be set well before open.
 
Normally they do handle street dates. But they had a monster workload and wanted to give it away so it wouldn't get missed or mixed up with normal Tuesday releases. Didn't workout that way.

But our STL has been obsessed with getting X-mas set and basically has had them setting x-mas before we got all Halloween out of the back. But that is another rant for another day.

I played planetside 2 on pc... No thank you. They either need to release it as a full game or make it easier to earn cash in game with the f2p model. The other issue is that they are almost P2W. They are using the model that any gun is good. The issue is that some guns are better then others and you can pay to earn them first. It is a pretty big annoyance. I am not saying they are steps and bounds ahead but they are better.

Probably because HQ has set a goal company wide that Seasonal must be completely set by store open Wednesday morning. They're calling it the 48-Hour challenge...

Which is all well and good, but we needed hours to actually get the Halloween out of the back room and were not given them. And we have slowly sold Halloween so room space is a huge issue. This has just been a cluster, we clear something for our overnight person, evening LOD freaks and fills it, so overnight person has to clear it again since it was just tossed and I do mean tossed on the empty shelves. Its been bad.. The worse insult was POG tearing down two end caps we build of paper products we built the day before for sales planners one of which is a copy of another we have up, yes they are different POG's but basically the same product. Stupid..
 
So here is something weird. On the Wii U Planogram is a Wii U version of Advanced Warfare. It is active, 59.99 DPCI is 207-30-3333. Weirder still is that there is a Z-date of 5/02. Now I know better than to take a Z-Date as gospel truth, but the fact that there is any Z-Date at all is very peculiure. There was not supposed to be a Wii U Version.

It seems that somebody took a picture of the In stock info on the PDA and leaked it out as the gamer sites are a flutter with this news.

So this could be either a mistake on Spot's part, or maybe this could be an elaborate scheme to see what kind of buzz a Wii U version could generate. Any thoughts?
