Re: The *Official* When and Where Thread (READ THE RULES)
The clerk at GameStop told me he had it in the store but couldn't sell it until Midnight. They aren't doing a Midnight launch for the MLB games but for this new game coming out called Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (or something like that).
He told me they could face a $10,000 fine if they sold a game early. I offered him $11,000 but struck out. It's good to see our GameStop clerks have integrity.Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.Comment

I pre-ordered at Gamestop with overnight shipping, and I'm beginning to regret it, because I cant get the game until Wednesday due to the game shipping on the actual street dateThe clerk at GameStop told me he had it in the store but couldn't sell it until Midnight.

My local Walmart has that same poster, so I can get it at midnight tonight. Better than nothing I suppose.Comment

Re: The *Official* When and Where Thread (READ THE RULES)
Wait, so when Gamestop opens at midnight, it's not for any sales, but only for BC2? I didn't ever think of that. Very unfortunate.
I'll just wait till Tuesday morning and get the games at Best Buy. Problem is, I have class from 10:00 - 3:15 after that.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

No no. When they open at Midnight they WILL sell the baseball games too. That's what I was told. Sorry for the confusion.Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.Comment

Gotcha.
I'm still not sure if any of this will matter since this whole internal clock debacle has occurred.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

I might catch Shutter Island on a late showing and then over when that's complete. I did tell myself that I would no longer do this though. I think it was GTA IV where I was standing in line and felt a little embarrassed. 37 years old, wife and 4 kids all tucked away in bed while I stand in line for a video game.
I suppose you could argue it either way.Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.Comment

Don't feel bad. I stood outside a Toy's R Us for 5 hours on 360 Launch Day & I was 36 years old when that happen...I might catch Shutter Island on a late showing and then over when that's complete.

Hey, don't feel bad or embarassed. After all, if not for us older gamers there wouldn't be a multi-billion dollar per year game industry and Gamestop would never have a single store to have midnight sales.I might catch Shutter Island on a late showing and then over when that's complete. I did tell myself that I would no longer do this though.

Here's to those of us who lived through the Atari 800, the Commodore 64, and the Odyssey console so that we might some day enjoy the Xbox 360 and PS3. We paved the way like the first guys on the beach at Normandy.
