I *think* what Crazzy wants is to stagger the sales, as the cutoff is on Saturdays(is this correct?), since sales of other games are also counted only on and before the cutoff.
I think it's petty, really. It'll only take out a small amount of Gears 2 sales on week 1. But I guess Crazzy is appealing to the rules and practices of the sampling methodology.
Hope someone can clear this up.
