Not really a win as I will be the only person picking it up at my wallmart. In and out boom. GS has so many lines on release

I payed full for two copies of the collectors edition, I just called to see if they were taken any more.


So A) they didn't make enough or B) they didn't think it would be this popular or C) all of the above.

As an employee of GameStop, you need:

A certain quota of pre-orders
OK'd by district managers
People able to work it
If GS is in a mall, the cost of keeping the doors open

Gamestops get their pre-orders in a few days before release, so if they already have their shipment and you pre-order 2 days before release, there is a good chance they won't get it in til after.

If there's a cool enough employee, could they give me my game that monday night before they close?

No, in fact Trion could sue the store and/or Ban those that get it early. Happened with halo 4 some people got it early from stores and were banned.

Doubt it would matter all that much anyways since you won't be able to get in game till the servers open and you are allowed to patch.

[CeissaDesiste]

Depending on the area where the store (Gamestop) is and how many pre-orders they have determine if they have a midnight release.

My district requires a store to have 75 pre-orders on a title to be able to have a midnight release. My store has about 20 and that's only because I've been talking everyone's ears off about this game. I'm upset too about not getting mine at midnight, but knowing I get an employee discount makes up for it since I have 3 copies to pick up.

[MstrJedi_Kyle]

I work nights and can't pick up my copy at midnight anyway.

[Dr D Wayne Love]

What is the point of buying the game at midnight if the servers won't be open for another 8 hours anyway?

[6Strummer]

My GameStop won't be having a midnight launch either, but I'll pick it up as soon as the store opens, get the install started, and do anything that needs doing to kill time.
