In previous years I've gone to the Gamestop near the Walmart in town... this year I went to the one inside the mall and preordered it. I got a Keldo poster when I preordered, since apparently that particular gamestop somehow got a bunch of them in a box and decided they'll give away said poster for preordering. This was back in June.
So, a few days ago, I went back there to pay off the rest of my game and pick up the double sided poster that all gamestops get. so I got that, and then the lady that was working there was telling me about how they're going to have to have a Launch Party on the 12th at this coffee shop called The Boston Beanery. So, yeah, I'd say they're pretty cool, I might go back to that one again. x3 |
Midnight Release!
not sure if I'll go to it, but I'm definitely considering it |

Woot! I heard mine are doing a midnight release!

My local Gamestop has no choice but to wait until 9am at the earliest, sitting in the middle of an upscale mall. I don't blame the Gamestop for this, but wish there were more options locally.

Sadly, where I live we don't have any midnight releases only early 8:00 am openings, but oh well I'd probably too tired to play past 1:00 am in the morning anyway.

Unfortunately the closest Gamestop to my city that is having an event for the games is 2 hours away from me. My nearest store is opening earlier at 9am instead of 10am though so nothing extremely special. They are also having the special timeline poster and Kalos map with pre-orders. That's probably because this is Pokemon we're talking about and not Call of Duty.
|
Some Game Stops around here had the game 2 or 3 days earlier xD That's the coolest thing in my opinion.
|
Haha my gamestop has nothing cool going for it right now ^_^

I just got a message on the phone, apparently my Gamestop will have a midnight release tomorrow night! :D Also they mentioned events at 10 PM, so I'm going to have to look into that.
|
they're giving me the timeline poster even though I didn't pay for both copies at same store
|
No GameStop in my country. There isn't even any gamestores in my country that do these kind of things for games. It sucks living in the Caribbean.....

My EB Games/GameStop isn't doing anything for the X/Y release- they didn't even give me the poster from pre-ordering the game. Actually, there was only one EB Games somewhat near me that was planning to do a midnight launch, and I wasn't going to go anyway since I preordered at another location, but it looks like they've cancelled it.

I live in an area of the city that is mostly college age and older, so there probably weren't enough preorders for a midnight release. Mine is opening an hour early though, so at least there's that.
I didn't get the poster when I preordered, but I'm not really interested in that anyways. Would have loved if the Gamestops got those cool Pokeball holders like GAME did. Might try to buy one on eBay at some point. |
My Gamestop isn't doing anything which sucks. In my area if its not CoD or GTA it doesn't see the light of day.
|
Apparently not so much, koff~
They did midnight releases for Grand Theft Auto V, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag. They told me they're only able to do three a year, but two of these games are just utter garbage. And Grand Theft Auto V is taking out the trash, koffi~ |
Earlier I went to go check out my local GameStop for any Pokemon XY events but they told me that they are just gonna operate at normal hours. Kinda sucks though. They're not much of a Midnight Release kind of store, they also told me that not very few people had pre-ordered the game from them.
|
Waking up at 9, leaving at 9:45. Waiting is sooooo haaard.
|
Is my Gamestop the only one doing a midnight release? Dang, maybe my area is just full of pokemon lovers. Sucky part is, I have work early in the morning until 4:00 PM PST, so it's almost like I have to wait a whole 1 more day for it! Life is funny like that sometimes.
