So I was copping DA at Best Buy...
« on: November 14, 2006, 04:03:28 PM »
I went at lunch and noticed they had a table with several stacks of CDs. They were going pretty fast. I got my one copy and went looking around to ask if there was a special edition and a clean version. As I was looking for someone I kept an eye on the table and saw at least six people copping em in the span of just a few minutes. After talking to the blue shirted employee and finding out they arent selling the special edition or clean version there, I went to the line and saw another dude putting more CDs on the table. I definitely got the impression these things are going like hotcakes. As I was getting into my car the dude parked next to me was bumpin track 1, not even leaving the parking lot, just sitting there bumpin it.

Yeah I went to Target this morning when it opened cause I knew they had the version with the DVD. And there was 2 people pikin it up in front of me and the chik that cheked me out said I was like the 10th person to buy it just this morning. So I really think this shit gon do at least a mil in a week. . .
Rest In Peace!

I still don't think it's doin a Mil...I donno if y'all are in L.A. or on the West, but I'd guess y'all are...which is why they are movin so fast.

I remember going to Best Buy out here in Florida when it first dropped....I got there at about 12, and it was a decent number left....but when I came back at 5 or 6 with my homeboys, there were no copies of the regular version left at all...they had to buy the DVD package one. I went there today, and  I could tell that they had sold a decent number of them, but it was nowhere near being sold out just yet.

I am still thinkin 400 K first week.

if game does 400 + he should be extremely happy .. thats a fall of of only 200 k from his last album without 50 im predictin 300-350 if hes lucky - no 50 cent ..no mainstream hit singles = 50 % sales decrease
