concerning GameStop midnight releases

[Lord Beef]

My GameStop has 250 pre orders, it's going down.

 

[Compbros]

If my Gamestop had a tournament I'd go to the midnight release but if it's just to pick the game up I can wait.

 

[Hitoshura]

Depends on the district the Gamestop is in. My district needs 75 reserves to do a midnight release.

I wish my gamestop has a tourney

I wish my gamestop has a tourney

Why? so you can get your back blown out early

Honestly I rather get a good nice sleep and just pick it up in the morning, so I can play all day long without feeling tired because I went to the Mid night release.

 

[Euphoric]

Called my GameStop last night, it's the one where NRS did midnight launch for MK9, had a tour bus with tournament, and staff came. Said that they're having a midnight launch not sure if it'll be as epic as MK9s.

 

[Spletty]

Well I guess neither of my gamestop s are doing one

 

[prospic]

I remeber winning my local gamestop tourney and won a free mk9. .

I checked with my nearby GameStop and the employee there said they need about 50 pre-orders in order to do a midnight release and they were already apparently at 40. I've already pre-ordered the Battle Edition and have to pre-order another copy for my son, so I guess it's safe to say my GameStop will be doing a midnight release.

Just an fyi to those planning to do this as well. You might want to check because I don't know if the location of the GameStop effects the amount of pre-orders needed.

You wanna get the game at 12:01AM Monday night, right?!

HYPE

Lbsh. Ppl will get their hands on the game way before the 16

Malls DEFINITELY can have them

This is Canada dood In my hometown it's still illeagal to ride you horse on city sidewalks? There hasn't been a horse within city limits since they built the frikin sidewalks! And the nearest Amish community is like a half hour away..... by car......

Up here we have laws that state only stores with their own entrances can set their own hours bascially because the mall management doesn't wanna pay for the extra hydro (electricity) and security. I will check with them just in case things have changed but I'm not holding my breath...

WTF DO I NEED TO KILL TO GET MY COPY EARLY?! ILL DO IT I SWEAR!

 

[Crimson Cobra]

not sure if my gamestop will have a midnight release but even if it did...I'm not sure how i would be able to get a ride

 

[Crimson Cobra]

didn't get much help...all they told me is that they usually find out if they are having one a week before the game comes out

and so far I'm not really clear on if this is gonna be a big thing or if only a few stores are gonna have midnight releases

can anyone help me out?

 

[STORMS]

There's already a thread for this so I'll merge it.

You just gotta wait till sooner to the release. I'll likely be doing the same thing.

Yeah well there are a lot of threads so it's easy for many to be flushed to the back like this one was

and sure i should wait awhile longer before asking but considering the gamestop closet to me isn't that close(12 miles away from my house) I'd like to know a bit in advance because going 12 miles for a midnight release is no easy task and then there's the trip back home

 

[Odoyle]

I remember winning the gamestop tourney for MK9. MK9 is the first fighting game I've actually put real time into getting good at (too bad the vast majority of hours were with Sub Zero ) and my combos were bad....to put it lightly and as I said I still won it lol. I could imagine someone like Pig going into that environment flawlessing people left and right that would be pretty funny to see.

I have my injustice copy pre ordered I just hope they AT LEAST have a midnight release....but it does seem more people in general were a little more excited about Mortal Kombat. Can't blame them really though even if Injustice looks really good.

Do you ride your dog?

 

[Crimson Cobra]

Do you ride your dog?

No i do not ride a dog....i take a car but regardless it isn't a quick and simple trip like I'm used to with gamestop(Before moving down to Alvarado due to crazy circumstances i had a gamestop very close to me so it was a breeze getting them and back home)

i would figure more people would be excited about Injustice since the dc characters are more popular and have a bigger fanbase not to mention DC's Main Stream Appeal With Various Cartoons And Shows(I Would say movies but eh...outside of superman and batman they don't do much)

My Gamestop only has 198 preorders for Injustice and won't do a Midnight release until they get over 500. I thought that was allot then they told me that MK9 had over 2,000. I'm fucked I deploy the next day

Wtf, that GameStop must get hella business!

Anyway, talked to my friend who works at the GameStop near me, apparently they are doing a midnight release for Injustice. I will still call to confirm later. It's the one by GGC Smarrgasm

Hey guys, does anyone know how soon Amazon would have the game shipped to me? Do they do release-day delivery, and if so does it cost extra for a non-Prime member? They're giving a $10 credit on the game which is way better than DLC imo

Also how reliable is the release date delivery, is it guaranteed on that day? Any potential for me to be getting it a few days early/late due to standard mail fluctuations?

I've been looking at this and if you don't have prime I think you need to pay for 2-day shipping to get it on release day. I think the rate isn't too bad though but it still does cost money.

 

[RiBBz22]

I ordered Mk9 off Amazon for release day delivery and got it around noon the day of release.

It didn't cost extra then and when I looked on ordering it early some weeks ago it didn't appear to have any extra fees.

I mean...nobody can say if the mail has issues, but I will say that for the past four years I've used Amazon they're very consistent and reliable.

Amazon doesn't have the same release date delivery they had a few years ago.
