no gamestop midnight sell?

[JeffHCross]

Gamestop will do midnight releases if they have enough pre-orders to justify doing so. That's their policy across all of their stores, and has been for years.

And while a few of the posters in this thread may be right about NCAA not having the sales numbers, try convincing people of that in places like Columbus, OH. You get lines to pick up NCAA there, just like any other 'major' title.

I love when someone post in a video game forum telling other people to "get a life". One thing I can say for a lot of people here at OS is that a lot of us have a life. We just happen to love a game and use free time to play the game and post here to help others out. I'm not one for a midnight release party but that is becuase i like to sleep and at midnight I'm in bed. If I could stay up to play the game then I would be there but in my rip old age of 30 I don't have it in me.

That is even more dumb to me.Sure games are entertainment but not LIFE. Lucky I won't have to drive any where to get my copy I having it shipped out Yellowstone next week! I seriously do NOT want to have to driver 2.5 hours just for a game for the nearest town. Any ways I no this sounds like a rant but in all fairness just wait until the next day get a nice full night of sleep have some breakfest and Ihop before 10am then go get the game and play all day or when you can ..... End note lol

Aye man, Im a college student. Who so happens to be playing football. I dont go to bed til about 3am every nite anyways. And its anxiety. I wanna play this game.

1. The game will be out, why not get it.
2.Im not a halo freak who bases his life around a game
3.I love football. Its basically my life.

I feel you on the breakfast part though. lol

I say that every year, and every time I call up Walmart they say they don't have it yet even though the ad in the paper last year said "available at midnight." Workers prob just too lazy to look.

I'm positive one of the 2 GameStops here where I'm at will do a midnight opening. I've been to the last 3 for NCAA, and a few others for other games. I enjoy going not only to get the game, but because there are usually 50-60 people waiting in line and they all share a love for NCAA Football. It's nice to chat with them about it, game wise and the actual upcoming season.

You had to drive 35 miles, of course it was bad. I drive 2 minutes, as do most college kids here. Ya if you have to drive far or have work the next morning midnight release is dumb, but for those college kids it's the greatest thing ever.
