October 2009 Monthly Sales Futures

October Monthly Sales Futures for hardware and software are making their debut tomorrow. Please note that the October retail month is 4 weeks long.

Also remember, there are new rules regarding Monthly Software Futures. If a game does not finish in NPD Group's Top 10, the game will cash out at the sales of the #10 title.

You will be able to buy or short sell the Futures and GLS stock at a fixed price for 48 hours. This allows all players equal access to the future's IPO regardless of the time they log on. After 48 hours, the futures will trade as normal. All players, regardless of Basic or Advanced trading mode, will be able to participate in the IPO. All players are limited to 250,000 DKP positions in the IPO phase.

Gran Turismo Mobile PSP (suggested by Joe80), Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii) (suggested by shrimpjuice), and DJ Hero (Xbox 360) (suggested by SNOX07) will have GLS stocks IPOing on the same days as the futures.

A special thanks to Joe80 for putting together a list of games for this month's futures.
