Re: How to find out Retailers available units, 24 hour Walmarts?

The only advice I can add is that whenever you call 99.9% of the people at Wal-Mart don't even know about the game.

Every year I have done the midnight release. They should have it.

Best advice, get some rest and pick it up in the A.M.

Most Wal Marts will not have the game at midnight. It will be in the back in storage, but they usually don't stock video games until 3-4 in the morning. What I always do is go to bed early and get up at 7-8 am

yes they do have the game. it is the person who is doing all the street dated stuff like music and dvds responsibility to put it out. If you can't find it go and ask that person. I go to a wal mart near me and theres usually 4-7 others guys looking for it at midnight. 15-20 when it comes to Madden. So yeah they have it. they've had since friday at the latest.

Actually thats incorrect.Most walmarts got the game last week via DSD(directs store delievery)Ncaa/Madden are big for the company and have instruction to release them at midnight even if the store closes at 12.

I'm thinking about going at midnight but the nearest 24/7 Walmart is a good 25 miles away so I might pass.

I might be getting mine at midnight at a Wal-Mart tonight if I'm up since it is a short drive. If I go to bed earlier I will just get it tomorrow morning.

From my experience w/ game releases, the 24-hr wal-marts i've been using in Okla either have the game early or they will have the game like at 1 am, when the night crew gets to restocking the shelves.

Or if the electronic guy is cool and its midnight sometimes they will go in the back and get you the game.

Re: How to find out Retailers available units, 24 hour Walmarts?

Called my local Wal Mart in Windsor, ON Canada and they told me if it releases tuesday, then yes they will be selling it at midnight.. The Manager told me it's arriving about 6pm tonight and they'll have it for sale at midnight

so seems like most Wal Marts sell theirs at midnight
