Will Gamestop do a midnight release this year?

[warhorseballa06]

since this is by far the largest 2k game ever, they should be opening the doors at midnight. what do you guys think?

Re: Will Gamestop do a midnight release this year?

depends on how many preorders they get. mine will prob get 10-15 preorders so i doubt there will be a midnight release. if there is im all for going though.

The correct answer is, it depends on the number of preorders. I have like 6 or 7 gamestops where I live and I always call around to find the ones that will have a midnight launch. Its usually not the closest one though

but hey, at least I get it early

Let's not forget that 2K is more than 2KSports. Bioshock anyone?

But, if you are talking about 2KSport, this just might be the biggest...

Re: Will Gamestop do a midnight release this year?

hmm i always wondered how midnight releases worked...so the more people pre-order the more likely a midnight release...

i dont ever recall any NBA2k game being released at midnight...

Depends. I live near New Orleans on the West Bank. I know of at least 3 stores within a couple miles of my house. Don't ask me why they're so many, in fact two of them aren't even 400 yards from each other.

Re: Will Gamestop do a midnight release this year?

Honest question: For midnight releases, do you guys buy these games then play them deep into the night?

Historically, I have always bought NBA2K on the morning of release and thereby had a fully rested day of playing opportunity. If I picked it up at midnight, I'd feel 1) Like I'd fall asleep after two hours of play or 2) Save it for the morning then struggle to sleep due to the anticipation.

It depends on where you live at. Most of the time my local GS always has midnight release for most big title games that come out. Since NBA 2K11 and NBA Elite both come out the same night. I'm sure the chances of a midnight release is good. But again it all depends on where you live and if your local GS is known for doing alot of midnight releases for games.

I have been to several different Gamestops and have once had anyone tell me that I should buy X game. Last time I picked up NCAA Football 2011 I chatted with the kid there for about 10 minutes about the upcoming Tar Heels season (ie. how ****ed we are).

Yeah, UNC is ****ed. Just saying. And not because I'm a Jacket, but you knew what you MAY have been getting into when you brought in Butch Davis...

But back on topic - midnight launches are governed by preorders. What helps the preorders is how much the store actually pimps the preorder. Some stores get "orders" to pimp certain titles, but normally, the store's staff controls that the most. If you have people at your local store hyping the games, chances are good. But if they are FPS nerds, forget about it.

Luckily we were loaded to begin with so I don't think it hurts us TOO much. As long as T.J. Yates doesn't suck *** (again) I think we're still a top 20 team. I'm just waiting for Quinn and Deunta Williams to get cleared and our defense should be dominant again. I don't blame it on Butch Davis too much, the tutor was here before he was. I was more concerned about bringing in John Blake. That's probably where all the agent stuff started. Freaking Marvin Austin thinking he's already in the NFL. I have been waiting so long for our football team to become good and was looking forward to gloating about both our football and basketball teams.
