Midnight Launch???

[Hamshank]

Is anyone getting their game via a midnight launch ? What is the deal with that, does every place have it? And do you have to preorder to take advantage of it?

It is a top priority of mine. There's a 24/7 Walmart around the corner from me I'm hoping will comply. If not I'll scour the great state of NY until I locate one.

Right on brother!!!!!! I never heard of a 24/7 Walmart. How are you handling this? Are you calling beforehand? Are you preordering?

I plan on stopping by several times to inquire personally with the game dept. Typically the people who work there are gamers themselves who are in the know, and may be able to throw me a bone. Doubt I'll pre-order in the offchance it falls through. I'd rather not commit to a vendor that may not be able to deliver.

As a backup plan I've been calling all the gamestops around to ask if they plan on a midnight release. Most aren't sure yet.

Have you ever done a midnight release buy at a Walmart?

Good news everyone:

So you just show up to the store at 12? No preorder or anything?

Awww yeah...found a Walmart located right around the corner from me which will offer a midnight sale.

If you're near one that does offer midnight sales, it may be worth pre-ordering to secure your copy just in case supply cannot meet demand.

Nope, but I'll report back any success stories in the coming weeks.

lol, hopefully we both will. I can call them now if you want to tell you what they say, but I don't see why we would need to preorder the game to pick it up at midnight. Should just be business as normal if it's 24/7

Tis stupid, I should be able to pick it up earlier than 12 if I am on the West Coast ;D


Don't preorder over the web, it doesn't give that option.

Have you guys ever been to a midnight release before? I never have, but I certaintly plan on going to the gamestop near me.

[Hamshank]

I'll call the gamespot, it's closer, but not for another 2 weeks at least.

i never have been to one, and im planning on changing that
