What was it?

[Max King of the Wild]

@Max works at Target, what does he have to say about this?

There was a "you're fired." "I quit" without the "you're fired" part about two weeks ago. I called off because I wasn't feeling well and the manager said he was putting it as a no call no show and being a total dog. It would have been easy enough to prove I called off with my phone log but instead just emailed the HR manager and told her the guy was being an dog and I wouldn't be showing up to any more of my shifts.

I'm assuming it was a ps4 with a cheaper price? If it were then that would have been easy enough to check if I still were employed. Would also be able to see if it were a temporary promotion or permanent.

Looks permanent. From sony

BRACE FOR FIFA

05/Oct/2015
FIFA 16 (-74%) remains unchallenged to claim a second All Formats No1 crown this week.

A Tuesday launch for 'Lego Dimensions' leads Warner's new Toys to Life title to a debut at No2. Despite being the third Interactive Toys launch of 2015 and the second in two weeks, 'Lego Dimensions' debut sees it comfortably surpass week 1 sales of both 'Disney Infinity 3.0' & 'Skylanders Superchargers'. In the sector as a whole it's the third best launch week, behind both 'Skylanders Giants' and Skylanders Swap Force'. Take 2 also enjoy a strong debut with another Tuesday release 'NBA 2K16' entering the chart this week. Week 1 sales for the franchise are up by more than 53% over last year's entry, which makes this week's No3 the best week 1 seller in the series to date.
With two new arrivals in the Top 3, 'Destiny: The Taken King' (-20%) and 'Forza Motorsport 6' (-32%) are both down two places to No4 and No5. Nintendo's 3DS exclusive 'Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer' also makes its mark at No6. The latest entry in the series sees the addition of collectible amiibo cards which unlock in game content. Outside of the Top 10, Activision's 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5' makes a return to the chart at No12. The latest addition to the series is developed by Robomodo who took on 'Tony Hawk Shred' back in 2010.

I just wanted to point out that Disgaea 5 is currently sitting at 42nd on Amazon US hourly. Pretty impressive for a game that is nowhere near Western mainstream standards.

Until dawn seems to be doing pretty great for having zero marketing.
