dr00gy Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Anybody from the NW of England going to a midnight release? If so, which town & which shop? I'm also interested in how much you lot are paying for your copy. I think my copy is £40.99 but I get a fiver off because I put a fiver down when I pre-ordered it from GAME.

Talidiman Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hello mate I am picking up from Game in St Helens at midnight tomorrow, paid a fiver to reserved and honestly don't have a clue how much its going to cost. It's my first time getting a game at midnight so not sure if it's worth arriving early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr00gy Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Didnt realise Warrington was doing a midnight release guess i should have checked haha Yep, Game in the Golden Square definitely is & they said that other games shops might be open too. Hello mate I am picking up from Game in St Helens at midnight tomorrow, paid a fiver to reserved and honestly don't have a clue how much its going to cost. It's my first time getting a game at midnight so not sure if it's worth arriving early. It's my first time also. The guy in Game told me that some people start queueing from 20.00 (but f*ck that, I'm not) but they usually close up shop between 01.00-01.30 because by then, everybody queueing has bought their copy. He told me to bring a deck chair - I'm not sure if he was serious so I'm going to take a few but leave them in the boot & then go back for them if we actually need them, haha. He told me that it doesn't really matter if you go before midnight or after, you'll still get your game & probably still have to queue. I think I'll probably aim to be there for about 00.20-30 just to be on the safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA Ibiza Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) If you hadn't of pre ordered I wouldn't of bothered with GAME. The last midnight launch I went to was for the first black ops, the ques where big outside both Gamestation and GAME in Wigan. I just walked straight into Sainsbury's at 12.10 and queued with 5 or 6 people Edited September 16, 2013 by GTA Ibiza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr00gy Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 I got there at about 00.40 & was in line for around 45-50 minutes. Turns out in GAME it was £45 instead of £41 as advertised on their website so I was a bit annoyed at that, plus people were saying that the Tesco in Warrington barely had a line at all & was only about £38. Grainger Games also had a big line, probably around a 40-50 minute wait too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter_Johnson Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 dr00gy i can confirm the store at grainger games was packed as talked to a few lads outside for nearly two hours, was second person inline when in store but couldnt fault staff but when i recieved mine went past Game store and was still filling up so went home installed data and buggered of to bed on another note game charge different prices to the online as its a seperate business to its online version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
