    What time are you queuing at GAME

    in a similar vein to the asda thread, what time are people heading to GAME for the morning openings?

    i'm trying to gauge what time people will be there so i can get there for a good time

    someone in the other said that GAME are expecting people starting queues at 2 a.m. do we know this for sure?

    are people going at that time?

    I'm actually going in about 1:30 ish. I would go in earlier, but I have a 3 hour lesson of pyschology to attend first. Then I have the rest of the day off!!!



    I mean PM.

      2 AM for the morning openings?! wtf, I was planning on being there at 7am. They have sorted out all the games and accessories you asked for in little piles with your name on them, and most stores can't have more than 60-70 premium packs. I was assuming it's just a case of whipping everyone thru the til, which would take an hour max?

      I am desperate to get it, but not '5 hours in the cold' desperate for it. Well, if I didn't have a preorder maybe...

          Bloody hell, I'll either be in bed or still playing at that time If you've got one pre-ordered there's not much point in going before it opens, might as well spend a few extra hours in bed and go down after the queues have died off.

            Surely it is people who aint got a pre-order and are hoping to grab one from the shelf that will be queuing at 2am and the like?

            I have all my stuff confirmed and my store is opening at 11pm tomorrow night with sales starting at 12 so I wont be queuing and will be heading in to the store around 11.30 to sample the atmosphere and pick up my kit, cant wait!!

              It's a disgrace a lot Games aren't opening. I went to this very same Game for the Dreamcast launch and it was fantastic! I went to the midnight launch of the Xbox in Dixons, and nobody even wanted an Xbox back then. It's just silly not to have a midnight launch when anticipation levels are high (for some) for the 360.

                Mine are not opening at midnight, but are at 7:30am like alot of others. When they called to confirm my console, they also asked me to confirm the time I would like to pick it up - so I told them 8:30am which is the time I will be there. We'll as long as I do not have to spend a bit of time kicking the **** out of the postie for not delivering my games from Play !

                  My local one can't do a midnight launch or even open early as they are in a shopping centre which won't budge on their hours.

                  I'm looking forward to hearing the tales of anyone who does attend a midnight opening though.

                  Am now very excited about it all. Am planning to take some time off on Friday, work owes me a few days of paid leave anyway.

                    I'll play the waiting game instead - and keep warm by staying in with a mug of tea and Dragon Quest 8 until Courier and Royal Mail make their presence felt with my 360 goodies

                      well,all i need is a hard drive and a copy of PGR3,but my mate wants to secure a unit.So my local game opens at 8am so we'll be making a move down there at about 7ish.Our game store is inside a complex so there's no point in people queuing outside the centre,as everybody(inc me)is just gonna rush the shop as soon as the doors open.

                      PS: Thanks MS

                        Surely you would first check to see if the store had spare units to sell as all outlets should know their allocation now, and if they did you would ask them to put one aside/put a deposit down. Makes more sense than trudging down to your local store in the middle of the night and come away disappointed. I think any store would prefere an easy pickup of a pre-ordered unit than a free-for-all melee as soon as the doors open?

                            What happens if during the night you need a piss? Is it a case of wetting yourself (which youre meant to do AFTER you get the console home and set up) or holding on for dear life so you dont lose the place in the queue?

                            Its worthwhile planning for such an event methinks.

                              Actually, you could make a system of mirrors so that you could play the X360 while taking a piss while using the Wireless controller.
