Leaked Best Buy Strategic Planning Calendar?

Best Buy


A user from the NeoGAF forums by the name of Mrbob has posted a supposed copy of Best Buy's Strategic planning calender from their Planning Seminar for Playstation 3, Wii, Xbox 360 and PSP. The Playstation 3 and Wii section of the slide mentions the dates that the Kiosks will be in stores as well as dates for marketing strategies. So IF this is true the Playstation 3 kiosk should be rolled out on October 20th following with the Wii 's kiosk on October 29th.

It also looks like that when the PS3 and Wii hit it will make the 360 get "pushed" back to shelf display although they are adding an HD-DVD drive to the display. The only text that sticks out for the PSP is the start of the "Play Beyond" wireless marketing campaign. Just a reminder that this is in no way official and the only way to find out if it is true is to wait until the dates listed above. So go ahead and check out the image above by clicking the thumbnail and when the dates come in late October check your local Best Buy to see if the kiosks are there.

my friend is luckier than all of you , he already has the ps3 , he bought it on ebay for 800 dollars. And yes he knows the ps3 will cost on stores around 500-600 but he was desperate , anyways it brought him heavenly sword and another game. Also, yes I have seen in my countries Toys R US ( in Puerto Rico ) a wii with a demo of the metroid game. Grpahics are pretty well compared to the xbo 360 but I din't like playing with that controller although it was really playable ( thought I couldn't play witha television remote lol ). Anyways don't buy any of the 3 consoles , the computer is alwasy better for games.

@ RaiderX

"kinda looks fake for a few reasons, but the stuff looks believeable. except i dont undertsand why theyd have "build new PSP kiosk" first and "dismantle old PSP kiosk" last.. :/"

why would they tear apart the psp kiosk before having a new one already built? then what, let the psp sit on the ground while you are building the new kiosk? DRRRRRRRR

u dumbass, i was saying assuming that the stuff listed is listed in order of priority, why would it say set up a new one and then dismantle the old one way later. dumb*****

and peopel sayign thsi coudl be fake cuz it can be photoshopped, it can also be made in paint. and stores dont have to make some beautiful artwork y'know. these things are meant just for employees to see and it doesnt matter how plain it looks. duh
