Exclusive One-Day Program Helps Customers This Holiday Season
GRAPEVINE, Texas, Dec 18, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME), the world's largest video game and
entertainment software retailer, announced today an exclusive, one-day
reservation program to assist customers wishing to give the highly
sought-after Wii this holiday season. Only on Friday, December 21,
2007, customers can reserve a Wii console for pick-up by January 25,
2008. Reservations must be made in-person at any GameStop or EB Games
location in the U.S., including those in Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
While many store locations will have Wii in stock for immediate
purchase during the holiday season, quantities are limited. As such,
GameStop is offering this exclusive reservation program to provide
peace of mind to shoppers that may not be able to locate a system in
time for the holidays.
A limited number of reservations will be available at each store
and only one reservation can be made per household.
The reservation process requires payment in full at $249.99 plus
tax, to guarantee delivery in January. Customers will receive a
custom-designed DVD case emblazoned with a Wii and the iconic Mario
character wishing a "Happy Holidays! Your Wii is on the Way!" Inside
the DVD case is a guarantee slip that provides gift-giver guidelines
and an explanation of the gift receipt.
When the reserved Wii console arrives, the gift-giver will receive
a telephone call indicating that their system is available for
pick-up. Consoles must be picked up at the store location where the
reservation was placed.
