Although "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" won't officially be released until Nov. 4, Wal-Mart has announced that it will offer the game for purchase 24-hours before its release, as well as some trade-in offers and exclusive content.

Simply preordering Advanced Warfare will give gamers the Day Zero Edition, which allows consumers to pickup the game a whole 24 hours before the official release date.

However, Wal-Mart plans to take it a step further and will begin selling copies of the game at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 3 - regardless whether consumers preordered or not. The early copies of Advanced Warfare will reportedly be available in more than 3,600 different Wal-Mart locations.

According to reports, pre-owned gaming is a $2 Billion industry, and Wal-Mart plans to capitalize on this industry by offering used games and the ability to trade in used games.

For anyone who has used video games they're looking to trade in, they will be receiving 50 percent more value for their games when purchasing "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare." In addition, gamers will receive double the amount of value when trading in used games if they're also purchasing a PlayStation 4.

That means if you plan on trading a used game worth $20 for example, you'll be receiving $30 worth of credit that can be used to purchase Advanced Warfare, or $40 worth of credit to be used when purchasing a PlayStation 4.

Wal-Mart will also be offering gamers access to an exclusive exoskeleton with the purchase of a 24-pack of Mountain Dew or certain Doritos products.

Additionally, of those 3,600+ locations that will be offering the game 24-hours early, 2,800 of those locations will be hosting events prior to the launch beginning at 10:00 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2.  The events are said to consist of some early game play tournaments and customer giveaways.
