The Last Jedi Home Release Dates Revealed?

Posted on by

Via CBR.com:

A new report indicates that Star Wars: The Last Jedi will release digitally on March 14, with the 4K and Blu-ray release to follow on March 27. The news comes from Star Wars News Net, which cited a listing for the film on New Zealand’s iTunes; which this iTunes page was specific to New Zealand, the movie will likely drop worldwide on or around that date. The site also independently verified The Last Jedi‘s physical release date with a Target customer service representative. As neither Lucasfilm nor Disney has confirmed these dates, it’s possible they might change.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Sales Are Off Target!

Via Polygon.com:

Sales of Star Wars Battlefront 2 fell short of Electronic Arts’ expectations, and the publisher is citing the furor over the game’s microtransactions as the primary explanation, reports the Wall Street Journal.

EA sold about 9 million copies of Battlefront 2 during the three-month period from October-December 2017, the third quarter of EA’s 2018 fiscal year, according to the Wall Street Journal. (The game launched almost exactly halfway through the quarter, on Nov. 17, 2017.) That was about 1 million fewer than the 10 million copies that EA had expected to sell, the newspaper reports.

Blake Jorgensen, the company’s chief financial officer, told the Wall Street Journal that the publisher’s guidance calls for sales of another 1 million to 3 million copies by the fiscal year’s conclusion at the end of March. The higher end of that estimate would still put Battlefront 2 behind its predecessor — EA shipped more than 14 million units of the original Star Wars Battlefront in its 2016 fiscal year.

Revenue from Battlefront 2 to this point is also much lower than EA had wanted, since the company removed microtransactions from the game just before launch after they ignited a controversy among early players. It is not currently possible to buy “crystals,” the in-game currency, or loot crates.

POP! Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Vice Admiral Holdo for How Much??

Posted on by

I love POPs, everyone who knows me knows I have them everywhere! And the  Vice Admiral Holdo looks great, but for $24.99??? It bothered me when Hot Topic started to charge $15 and $16.50 for the flocked POPs, but $24.99 for a regular run (as far as I can tell) – I am not pulling the trigger yet (maybe I will regret that), but she is up for order now with a 12/15 ship date, click below to order or just take a peek!
