A friendly Best Buy mole shot us a copy of the retailer's latest employee newsletter, The Retail Inside. In it, Best Buy reminds their blue and yellow worker bees to hold Playstation 3 consoles for the Dec. 31 Ad.
All stores will receive PlayStation 3 (60 GB, $599) for the Dec. 31 ad (ad minimum 25). Product will be labeled with orange stickers that say "Hold for ad." If your store received 70 or more units, hold 40 units for the ad and release the rest. Some stores have sold many units and may be at risk of not having the minimums. If your store received less than 70 units, hold 32 units for the ad and release the rest. Additional PS3 software and accessories will arrive throughout the week to support the ad.
The insider goes on to say that stores will also be receiving shipments of Wii this week and that blues are to get them to the floor and sell them ASAP.
Employee purchases of either console, by the way, remain a no no at the chain.
