I ask because I will be, and if there aren't many others who are I'll gladly come back and post pictures of the box, additional content, the 3 free code card, etc when I get home so people can see it early. Of course one issue is that I'm in Arizona and anyone on the east coast will be asleep by the time I pick up the game, or it will have been posted already lol. So it probably won't be necessary either way. Anyway just trying to get a gauge of how many people will be buying at midnight so I know whether or not to go out of my way to post pictures of all the goodies.

There's always at least one person that won't have seen it. If you come here at midnight and the board is overloaded with pics, I wouldn't post any. If there aren't, post away.

Yes. The Gamestop I'm getting it at is going to have a midnight party. And I live in California, so we're in the same timezone. When you pick it up, I'll be picking it up too

I will be if my Gamestop calls me telling me they're doing a midnight release.

Sweet.

Yeah I just don't want to come here and flood the board with things that have already been posted, so I figured I'd check. I would say that I'll check before I leave to pick it up but I'm gonna sleep after I get home from work until like 11'ish so I won't be looking lol.

I will have been up since 4 a.m. that morning, so I haven't even asked or looked at a midnight release. My gf wouldn't last more than a few songs at that time of the evening anyway. We'll get a lot more enjoyment out of it if we pick it up first thing in the morning and have the whole day ahead of us to play it instead of pulling an all-nighter.

By the time I wake up on 09/09, I'll be about to pick it up anyway, so I won't be checking for pictures of what I'll find in 30 minutes. I'm sure there will probably be a few people on here dying to see whatever they can late at night.

I'm getting it at midnight. If they're not doing a midnight sale at the one I have it reserved, I'll take my reservation to a store that is having a midnight sale. Simple as that. I want mah gaaaaime!

After lots of whining from customers, the 4 Gamestops in my area agreed to take all of their pre-paid pre-orders to one of the Gamestops for a midnight release. So, I will be there.

Be careful. Each Gamestop is limited in the number they can pre-order. If you cancel your order from one, there's no guarantee the other will have one for you.

I found out today that my Gamestop is having one, so now comes the hard part, persuading my parents to go.

Buying it before street date, most likely the week of August 31st

I'm not. I doubt any places are doing a midnight release here anyway. I just wanted the sotware so I bought it online which gives me a chance of getting it a day early. :)

Probably not midnight but I will be there damn early just so I don't have to lug the thing to work and have to deal with all the yahoos there.

All 7-elevens are selling it at midnight as they are open 24 hours.

Does anyone know when the game ships out?

Oh yeah that makes sense I guess. I would do that if Gamestop didn't have those 3 songs.

I think its only worth it if you're picking up at the store. By the time you pay for shipping online, there goes the "free" songs.

Yeah i'm picking it up at the store, plus I might get to go at midnight.

I'm hoping one of the stores is going to have an early opening or a midnight release because the delivery days at work got pushed back a day.

If they don't, the scheduling manager and I have worked it out that they'll just give me my regular shift and I can come directly from the store. Hopefully I won't be too late.
