    I am highly disappointed with my Gamestop. I live in Maryland, and I reserved at the Gamestop in Golden Ring. My sister and I both saw the sign that told us there was going to be a midnight release, and we planned to go. Well, as we were pulling up last night there was another car waiting for it too. We saw the employees lock up the store and turn the lights off at 11:55, and leave the store. The other family started talking to them and they also came over to us, apparently, there never was a sign, and Pokemon isn't a big enough title to have a midnight release for. I personally think this is due to younger children playing games to old for them, such as COD, Halo, and Killzone. I got up at 8 this morning to go get it and I am highly pleased with it.

    I got to the local Toys R Us about ten minutes after it had opened and they had about 6 of each version left (outside of the pre-orders) by then.

    Saving $39 (half off of one game and two of those Legendary Kits) was worth waiting from midnight to 10 AM. Not to mention sleeping.
