no gamestop midnight sell?

[nolesfan69]

I used to work for Gamestop in the Chicago area and we have never done
a Midnight launch for NCAA. But we would open the store at 8am that day.
So maybe this year they will. It would be nice but its cool it they don't
do a Midnight.

I don't think my local Gamestop is doing a midnight release. They hardly ever do. I'll probably just stop by Walmart at midnight.

Haha EA must be slacking off on the job then Because my gamestop is having a midnight release. EA can't gamestop from having a midnight sale. Once it turns midnight and the 13th hits on the computer. They can give the game to the customer. I really don't think EA is doing anything like. It's kind of hard to believe.

This.

Ours had one for '09 and it was me and 1 other guy that showed up. Luckily since it was just us, they opened up a copy and let us play it from about 11:15 until they could officially sell it.

I beat the other guy something like 45-7.

The gamestop by my house here in ks is doing a midnight release but they do it every year and i'm there every year to get my ncaa, in fact if they are able to have a midnight release for any game they will do it.

Hmmm, what's the policy on cancelling pre-orders?

The guy working there told me that he was 100 percent sure that they would be having a midnight release... What's the incentive in pre-ordering with them when Wal-Mart will have the game on their shelves at exactly 12 AM on July 13?

Totally lame...

EDIT: actually, it's not a big deal to me. I will get the game the following morning.
