Midnight Launch???

If it were synchronized worldwide that would save the Pacific coast, and the inferiors in our time zone (Hello Wyoming), 3 hours !

@Blazur: It's pretty bad that you have to go to a generic store like Walmart to get gamers who know their ass from a whole in the ground. You would, you know, a GAME store would have this same level of knowledge.

What I'm hearing from my GS (and others) is that when pre-orders exceed 300 or something then a midnight release happens, but even then they say you should call the week of to confirm they're doing that.

I'm sure SC2 has exceeded that, especially since they're advertising it all over the darn store. If all gamestops are doing that I wouldn't be too worried about not having enough pre orders unless you live in a ghost town, which is certainly not where I live.

300? EB Games here had a midnight launch for Wrath, and there was only 50 people there at most.

Who said everyone that pre-ordered has to be there at midnight? And I think this is a rough number. I'm going to ask again because the thing was sort of a blur, but the number was in the hundreds.

Aparently the GameStop that I preordered my game in will not have a midnight launch because not enough people preordered there

Still 3 weeks left, they could get more. Ask the week before the game releases.

I've been to several midnight releases over the years. They're incredibly fun because you know everyone there is the same flavor of nerd that you are. I won't be doing one this time though, my game is coming release date delivery from Amazon.

I'm not a nerd even if I go to a midnight launch.

Speak for yourself

I'm such a nerd that I plan on going to a midnight release wearing my I <3 SC shirt which I won by convincing a bunch of friends to pose for a pic in the mosaic.

So so non-Nerdy that I'm going to silently walk in, silently wait in line, silently buy the game, and silently leave all the while silently ignoring teh nerds.

Watch out Tychus, I heard nerd is contagious, especially in midnight release conditions. That's it's natural habitat.
