I just go to Wal-Mart right before midnight to get the games I need. Never had a problem at all with getting a copy from there. I remember when GTA IV had its midnight launch at the local Gamestop here in Marietta, Georgia. I drove past the store and noticed the line was ridiculously long. Well right across the street from Gamestop is Wal-Mart. I made a u-turn, walked right into the electronics department and there were maybe 2 other people standing in line waiting. The lady behind the counter was already ringing up copies of GTA IV. It took me only 5-10 minutes to get my copy.

The same can be said about the WoW: Burning Crusade expansion. I went to the local Wal-Mart after midnight and only had to wait 10-15 minutes to get a copy.
