I'll be there at midnight to get my artbook + LE version. This is going to be the longest 7 days of my life.

I preordered MGS4 like, 4 months ago at my local EB games (apparently not everyone has an EB, but here in Vermont, we have EB Games and Gamestop at opposite ends of 'Teh Mall') and our Gamestop isn't on the list. Hopefully EB (who is owned by the same company) will do a midnight launch still, maybe they're independently owned? I'll find out today anyway...

The Gamestop I reserved it at isn't doing a Midnight release either. I called them up and they said the only option is to reserve the game at a different location and then cancel your reserve at the original location. That's what I'm going to do, the one that is having a midnight release is actually closer to me, I was just in the mall and decided to reserve so I could get my Bonus disc early haha.

So does anybody know if Best Buy are going to be opening at midnight? I want to get the 80GB bundle... that is, if it's even available on the 12th.

They have a midnight release store list on their website as well.

Damn... the closest BB to where I'll be on Wednesday night is the West Hollywood one where the signing is happening, and I'm not interested in all that. Oh well, suppose I'll just hit up my local store in the morning (in case you were wondering, this purchase is going on my store card!)

"if you want to play the game as early as possible, waiting in line for the midnight release looks to be the way to go."

...or walking into one of the three Walmarts in my area around 12:00 and purchasing it, without a pre-order.

And depending on when they get their shipments, and when they decided to stock the game, you can get it even earlier than 12:00. I've seen plenty of games on the shelf a day before they were for sale but just without a price tag.

If you go to an older walmart they sometimes have the old cash registers which don't tell them when they can sell a game. I ended up getting "Drawn to Life" almost a week early because of this.

Will wal mart be selling the MGS4 PS3 bundle on the 12th. Does anybody know? No gamestops in my area will be open at midnight either.

Call and ask them. If it's a newer Walmart then they will have a release schedule screen and can tell you when they will stock the product. If it says the 12th, then it be on the shelf by midnight so long as you ask them.

As far as I know, the PS3 80GB bundle is a GS exclusive so I wouldn't expect BB or WallyWorld to be carrying it.

I pre-ordered back in April - I'll be waiting at the Union Square NYC store. I'm not going to get there early, maybe about 11pm. I'm not that desperate.

Anyone know of any stores doing this in the UK?

GAME will be, in some places, but AFAIK you'll have to ring around the stores individually to find out who's doing it and who isn't. As I've said before I work there and sometimes we don't even know about it till 2 weeks before. I know that the Manchester Arndale Branch (the big one) will be opening at midnight.

Anyone know how long they're going to be selling the 80GB bundles? I'm going to get to my local Gamestop at 9pm right when they close and wait out there with my girlfriend until the midnight opening because I don't want to take any chances on missing out on the bundle in case I can't find it in the coming months, and I don't want to get stuck with the 40GB model. But if they're going to be making these for a while I'll relax a little bit. Does anyone know?
