Unfortunately my Gamestop doesn't have midnight release

I work..so there's my need to get it early...

If that is also a list of all gamestops that will have a midnight release, looks like my local one isn't having one. Not only that, there doesn't appear to be a single one in Manhattan that I could change my preorder to. There's no way I'm traveling to the Bronx/Brooklyn/Queens at midnight for this as I'll fall asleep on the train ride back.

Still holding out hope the local one decides to have a midnight release at the last minute and I'll call Monday to see, but it does not look good.

Yeah last year was the first year I just went to wally world to get it instead of 20 minutes away at gamestop.. it was easier and faster; one other guy was there getting it at 12 am

Yea that's where I always go to, and for the same reason. We usually have 5-15 here in small town TN

The GameStop in my city is having a midnight release and is right next to a WalMart. Hmm, where to take my business? NCAA 12 "CAN'T WAIT" (Bart Scott voice)

Does Gamestop refund pre-orders? I might just go to wally this year.

We do, but as an employee it's not very nice since whoever you cancel it with with get a -1 for the day...
