@sagexsdx,
You can write down your positions before pay out on the NPD day (before it was announced). Since the trading is freezed on that day, there shouldn't be any changes during that day.

@sagexsdx,
We generally try to payout the Monthly Sales Futures by the end of the night. You can see how big your position was from the Transactions page, but there isn't a way to check the average price at which you originally acquired the position. The closest thing is to go through the transactions page and calculate an average for your Futures transactions.

@Joe80,
With the release of the sales data for the top 10 across consoles, they also released the following statement:
"Spore realized sales of 406K units and Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning sold 274K which would put them both in the top 10 list of combined console, portable and PC games sales for the month."

@KultofCows,
how come the futures were paid out so early this time? usually it's paid out the day after. i didn't get to log my items =/ is there anyway to see my positions before pay out?

@KultofCows,Silent Hill Metacritic should have expired yesterday at 73/100...can you release that so I can get full value for my investment and invest my money elsewhere?

@lstormy10,
It's scary how close we were on 360, and quite remarkable how we did this month I agree. Thank you for the info about PC. They only give a top 10 for PC with no sales now right, the stuff that Zukuas posted?

We did pretty well on all predictions this month (esp. Xbox 360 and Total Hardware).
