There's never a dull moment on Wall Street. Let's go over some ofthe items that will help shape the week that lies ahead. 1. The Diablo's in the Details Last week could've gone better for Activision Blizzard ( ATVI ). The country's largest video game company put out the highlyanticipated Diablo III last Tuesday and there was no shortage of buyers. It was Amazon'smost pre-ordered PC game of all time. The problem started whendiehard gamers finally began trying to play the game. Server outages rocked the gaming community, and folks who had paid$60 for a game that requires online connectivity -- even in single-player mode -- turnedagainst Activision Blizzard when its servers went down. Negativereviews knocked the previously encouraging game ratings acrossgamer websites. Things were supposed to get interesting this Tuesday. The game wassupposed to launch an "auction house" feature in which gamers couldbuy and sell the virtual goods that they collect from the game.Yes, there will be real money to be made and spent here. ActivisionBlizzard will provide the marketplace and collect 15% of anytransactions. Well, last week's debacle threw a wrench into the company's plans.Instead of launching the auction marketplace this week, ActivisionBlizzard will roll it out next week. This will be a week for thecompany to win back the trust of early buyers of the game whosuffered several hours of server outages. 2. Aliens Attack Memorial Day weekend will be a busy one at the corner multiplex. It has already been a strong year for exhibitors so far thanks to afeast at the box office from The Hunger Games in March and the record-setting performance of The Avengers earlier this month. After a disastrous 2011, we're finally headingback to the movie theater again. The big draw this upcoming holiday weekend will be Sony's ( SNE ) Men in Black 3 . Sequels of big movies typically do well. Even though it's been along stretch of time since 1997's Men in Black and 2002's Men in Black II , moviegoers are apparently still pretty excited about thefranchise. It's one of the seven movies contending to be this summer season's biggest hit. 3. Jewelers on Ice Several publicly traded jewelry retailers will step up to delivertheir quarterly reports this week. Tiffany ( TIF ), Zale ( ZLC ), and Signet ( SIG ) will be reporting. The name Signet may not ring a bell, but you've almost certainlyheard the catchphrases of some of it chains. Signet is the companybehind Kay "Every kiss begins with Kay" Jewelers and Jared "He wentto Jared" The Galleria of Jewelry. Jewelry is a seasonal indulgence, and this should be a strongquarter for all three companies -- after all, the three previousmonths include Valentine's Day. 4. Thinking Inside the Box These have been hard times for the computer industry. Consumers arerealizing that you don't need computers or laptops as much when asmartphone or tablet will suffice. Dell ( DELL ) and Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ ) are the country's two largest computer makers, and both companiesare laggards in those gadget categories. HP's stock hit a 52-week low last week as reports were confirmedthat the tech bellwether would be laying off as many as 30,000employees. It's a bit of a surprise since HP has actually beengaining market share over the past year. The concern -- of course-- is that gaining market share in a pie that may be shrinking insize is still a problematic situation. Both Dell and HP will be reporting this week. Given the gloomybackdrop, investors shouldn't be surprised to find that analystssee both companies posting declines in profitability. 5. Turn Up the Virtual Radio Pandora Media ( P ) is one of the more interesting companies discussing its quarterlyfinancials this week. The company behind the fast-growing musicdiscovery website checks in on Wednesday. Popularity isn't a problem at Pandora. The streaming service recently revealed that its users logged inwith 1.06 billion listening hours last month, an 87% increase overApril of last year. Its share of the total U.S. radio listeningmarket has nearly doubled to 6% over the past year. The problem at Pandora is its ability to monetize the trafficgenerated by its 51.9 million active users, since most of those arefree accounts that put up with ads for their streams. We'll findout how Pandora is doing on that front come Wednesday. Longtime Motley Fool contributor Rick Munarriz does not owns sharesin any of the stocks in this article.
