Melbourne fags. As proposed by myself last night, today we will attempt to break the October 12 date of X & Y and pressure Melbourne based stores release their stock early. The plan we have is fairly solid, and although our chances are slim, it only takes one store manager to break for the others to follow in fear of losing business.
>THE PLAN Friday 04/10/13 between 2pm - 3pm (we can't all call at 2pm or else it is suspicious) Melbourne time, we will start calling all Melbourne based video game stores asking if they are selling Pokemon X & Y.
When they say no, act slightly surprised and say that you heard that some stores in Adelaide have been selling them early and you were wondering if they were doing the same. (At this point you can mention something like how you've been watching forums on the internet go crazy in the past hour with Australians who have got their hands on the game, or something like that).
At this point if they still say no, ask them if they have their stock in.
At this point if they say no, hang up and move on to the next store on the list.
At any point you are welcome to through in a line or two about how it's odd for some stores to sell early and others not, but it's important that we all don't say the exact same thing to avoid suspicion, so ad-lib it up.
>The Hit List http://pastebin.com/eFnvTpFQ These are the essential stores. By all means, call others if you like and report what they say and possibly their details for others to call.
Last night we had one fanastic anon who created some fake X & Y covers accompanied with EB Games receipts from Adelaide. If anybody is actually in the city or around any store, put the image on your phone and attempt to show them this if they refuse to sell it to you.
(Continued in next post).

Quoted By:
The final part of the plan was creating hype and spreading these fake images around the internet. The purpose for this was to heighten the legitimacy of stores in Adelaide breaking street by claiming to Melbourne stores that images and discussion about this situation has spread across a tonne of imageboards and forums and what not. Last night we had one Redditor, who despite best motives, posted the image and was undone by a moderator, so Reddit is currently a no go unless anybody wants to risk it. There was also somebody here who admined a Pokemon page on FB with 300k subscribers based in Melbourne, so if you are still here, it'd be appreciated if you post something up in an hour or two.

EB games WILL break street date if another store does, so it might be best going after Big W and Target in big shopping malls. Or even some small game stores if they still exist? Also, try and photoshop some different looking pictures of the "early" games to make it more believable.

Instead, they're just going to think you're pretty pathetic for carrying around a picture of someone's Pokemon X, so you can go around town flashing it to people in the dim hope that that will inspire them to risk their job to sell you a game early.

Called Kmart in Geelong yesterday, was told to call back or come in later as the guy in electronics/games really had no idea what was going on and they "don't have a system" to look things up on. Went in late last night, around 1AM. The guy was totally willing to find it for me, however after about 15 minutes of him searching for a copy, he came back with no results. Can only assume they had no stock, he told me to keep checking back.

We keep the people anonymous, so there's no harm for anyone. People who buy the game won't get into trouble either since they didn't know either so no one can get into trouble, and the stores that are stupid enough to sell them won't get into as much trouble as Canada because it's Nintendo of Australia and they just suck in general at taking action. Besides, it's not like we'll have a 100% chance at succeeding so don't worry too much about it. I'm done replying so goodbye.

What the fuck is even going on here? You're harassing stores in order to what, play a game a few days early? How fucking entitled can you be? Not to mention this isn't going to work in a million years. No one is going to go "Well, I was GOING to hold off until the date given to me from the mouth of God himself, but because you showed me a stupid potentially shopped picture of someone else who got the game early from an employee who probably lost their job, hell, here's a copy!" Doesn't fucking work like that. This thread is retarded.

Spoke to jb bourke st. Told them I heard a rumour a store in adelaide broke street date, and was wondering if they had started selling too. Guy said that's impossible because they don't even have stock yet, and the rumour might have been someone misinterpreting buying the console.

As an employee of a chain store, I can tell you this is stupid, because we don't actually know what's "In stock" or not. They probably all do have the games in big, ambiguously marked boxes in the back that no one has opened and no one will open until (duh) the street date. Also, even if we know something is in the back but isn't for sale, we will tell you that we don't have that thing, because it's easier to say "No we don't have it" than it is to say "Yes we have it, but we can't sell it to you for arbitrary reasons." SO STOP ASKING. You're only wasting time.

Anonymous
>>14201842 Yes, but will the release be simultaneous or will it come out some time later? I'm currently living in another country and my 3DS is not from this region, so I can't buy physical games. Buying another 3DS here would be too much money, since they're much more expensive.
