Bottom line you could have had a million people looking and if they arent selling um what does it matter

Meijers in Aurora IL? Damn thats about 1 minute away from my work and stupid me I checked at Walmart across and down the street. Oh well I will go after work if they have them.

Stupid stuff IMO .

SCEA couldn't do that. MLB set the earliest street date. If scea would do what you said, they would delay the game a week or two in the first place in order to charge the "early" premium...

I've got a question for anyone who has ever been to one of these midnight releases. Do they actually make everyone wait til midnight or is there a chance of getting it a little earlier?

I figure if they're staying open for the halo release I could just walk in there at like 11 o'clock a be like "look dude, I don't wanna be here. Just sell me the show and let me get on with my life".

But if I actually had to wait til midnight I'd probably be better off picking it up on my lunch tuesday and then coming up with an excuse to leave work early.

stores don't stay open between the time they close for the day and the midnight opening. The store xloses at 8 or 9 or whatever the normal close time is, then at midnight they open the door...

Since it's already Monday I'm just going to hang out with my girlfriend tonight and I can wait one more day. But, I didn't realize there were so many Chicago suburbanites on this board. Next year, we can each take different suburbs when we go on our search and pick-up copies for each other if we find any. That will save us all a lot of time!

we already did that this year...

The Gamestop in Merrillville, IN is doing a midnight release.

This was the standalone Gamespot ACROSS from Southlake Mall (not in the mall)... it's on the corner of U.S. 30 and Mississippi.

wow 45? what is even the point of pre ordering? You can go to any store selling games and pick the game up with no problem...

Funny you mention the Southlake Mall. I work at the Chili's there. In fact, I have to work tommorrow. I will only have about 1/2 hour to play between school and work tommorrow. You could come to Chili's and rub it in my face.

I know all those guys that work there. The biggest Show nut of them all is Bobby. He is a cool dude and once you get to know them they will take care of you with the long lines at midnight.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought when he told me I should put $5 down to pre-order because so many copies had already been reserved... That's great if you're heading out there at midnight and want to be sure to own one, but this isn't quite Halo 4 :wink: and you can otherwise head over to Walmart or Best Buy or anywhere else and get it on Tuesday.

Yeah, I used to live in the apartments right behind there but have since moved to Valpo. I drive through there on 30 to/from work and my hockey league and hit Merrillville pretty regularly. I'll be picking it up tomorrow, at which point yes, I'm thinking Chili's sounds pretty good for dinner with game in hand.
