how would you go to a midnight release at a 24hr store such as tesco in the uk? also will you get the blimp bonus without pre ordering?

Go to the store, get in the queue. If there isn't a queue, talk to the chap behind the counter and he'll tell you what to do.

 

I wouldn't have thought you'd get a pre-order bonus if you didn't pre-order.

im going to Tesco mate, be there for about 10:30 - 11.

 

will people that have pre-ordered have an advantage at the que? like a shorter one or something.

at this point i'm not really thinking about going all that much, a simple post on a forum i was already on seemed like a good first step

Showstopper 26

Show up about 11pm and wait until they let you have the game at 12:01.

You should go before 11. This is an event. The biggest of the year. My Gamestop will have a food truck, contests, demos, etc.

Does anybody know what time midnight released finish?

 

If the shop normally opens at 9am, but opens at 12 for the release, do...what do they open till the queue is clear to do they just stay open until the regular opening time?

Im sure this all depends on where you live. I doubt the Gamestop I am getting mine from will be busy at all.
