Wooo I haz the GTA4. Game apparently opened at 8am, even though the shopping centre doesn't open till 8:30. I walked in around 8:20ish and it was empty. I fully expected them to say sold out but they didn't. Surprisingly they only had a small queue too, and a brief fight when someone who had to get to work jumped it. There were no queues of 200 people like Asda.

Well, yeah Some of us have been following its development, the series since GTA1 and just know it's going to be the best game this year. I've been dying to get my hands on it and I see no reason to delay. However, annoyingly the HDTV is in the conservatory and typically its the sunniest day ever so I have to wait till the sun moves around the house so I can actually see the screen. Why god why?

Have to say I'm kind of in the same boat as you mate. I don't understand all the rushing out at midnight to try and get a copy. Only reason I went out before work this morning is that it's the only chance I'll get all week to get it and we're away next weekend too so I'd then be waiting until next week.

I refuse to stand in in line at midnight waiting for something since I work during the day. As I type this I have been informed that the postman has just delivered my copy at home That's my night sorted now

I'm a bit stumped too, I still did it though, I think it was for fear of a Wii fiasco and there not being enough copies to go around.
I didn't mind too much Aitch was staying in London over night so it wasn't really a hassle and I was just a bit tired this morning. MB |

I've never been to a midnight launch for a game, but I did goto a Harry Potter one with my mate to keep him company. That was just as busy as Asda was last night. The only reason I went last night was because of the crazy sales rumours. I feared that come morning all the shops would have sold out, and it seems that some may have. Thankfully my trusty Game store didn't let me down.

I've only ever done a midnight release once, and that was for the Dreamcast many years ago. I remember playing it till 4 in the morning and being especially tired the next day (I didn't have the same stamina I do now ). Nowadays I'm happy pre-ordering as I know (barring any problems) I'll get it on release day.
