January 2008 NPD Futures IPO schedule

This has been long delayed to ensure games we list are actually coming out in January 2008. Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom (Xbox 360) (submitted by djhellboy87) will also have a global lifetime sales stock and Metacritic Future making a debut. Burnout Paradise (PS3) and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty (Xbox 360) will also have Metacritic Futures.

NPD Futures, Metacritic Futures, and stocks will debut in two-phase IPOs. IPO Phase 1 is a 48 hour period of trading without automated market making to determine the IPO Phase 2 price. Advanced trading mode is required to place orders in IPO Phase 1. After IPO Phase 1, the futures contracts will enter IPO Phase 2 in which the bid and ask prices will be fixed all day.
