I don't plan on preordering. If I have time on the 14th, I'll check online to see if any stores have the games in stock, and I'll pick them up then (I've never had a problem getting games on release day without preordering). If I don't have time that day, I probably won't get the games until the subsequent Friday afternoon, unless I can get someone else to pick them up for me during the week.

I wasn't going to pre-order it, but when I found out I can get the little figurine when I do, I went that day and ordered it. Can't wait.

Anybody else find it weird that the game is being released on a Sunday?

How many of you guys are getting HG/SS really close to your Spring Break or maybe the week of it?

I get the game my last week of school, so it's gonna be a nice Spring Break!

It's relatively close to easter break or spring break but since I graduate this year and have to prepare myself for the final exams I don't see myself playing much until april's over.

To be honest this fits into the 'How are you getting yours?' thread as that thread also asks when you'll be getting your game. Don't believe that another thread asking if one'll get it during Spring Break (which only applies to certain folks - over here for instance it'll be Autumn =P) is that needed, so merged the two threads.

Yup, just preordered it yesterday, got the recite under my pillow. XD

The only store that sold it was Toys R' Us, so I felt pretty ridiculous in there asking for a Pokemon game. I don't know if they provide the figurine, but I don't really care about that.

I've been countin' the days, and I even put them into catagories.

There are 21 days left (I'm not counting the 14th itself), 15 of which will be spent in school, 3 will be spent with my father (Weekends), and the other 3 will be spent with my mother (Weekends).

Yeah, I know. Wow. Never quite been this excited about a Pokemon release though. I'm pumped.

I pre-ordered SS and 2xHG, for me, my brother and a friend at the Game Mania. Too bad that there won't be statues with it of lugia and ho-oh in Belgium :-(

I pre ordered mine on the last day of the pichu event. And my brother comes home from college on the 5th of March. And goes back on the 14th, the day the games come out. So we're probably gonna head out to breakfast, go pick up the games. And we'll pack the car for him to go back.

I found no site to deliver it to Romania , so I'll probably keep my eyes out in one of the shops here which is full of games (not so much of DS ones but last time I visited they had ONLY American versions of Pokemon Platinum veeery cheap ) . I'll probably check there after 14th ... I'll however be in Austria until the 15th so I might as well check somewherein there ! :)

Since I'm pretty much out of money for this part of the year, I'll just get it at a store somewhere later this year. The demand should be down by then, so I won't have to worry about out-of-stocks and such, probably. o_o;

Hopefully through winning the Pokemon tournament that's gonna take place in my school in a few weeks. I gotta pay $5 so if I win, I make a $30 profit. : P

If I lose that tournament, though... I'm gonna buy it. : )

I'll use my $10 to preorder it from GameStop, then work my a** off to get the other $60 I need. (I know it only costs $40, but I owe my mom $300, so until that's all paid, I only get half of my allowance.) :(

its more of a question of how im gonna afford it. i got $15 right now and i'm going to trade in 8 DS games and 3 GC games at gamestop. Among the most notable ones are Pearl, Colleseum, yugioh 5D 2009, spiderman 3, the rest of them range from sports to racing games. Is anyone here familiar with gamestop trade-in values or at least know how much i'll get for Pearl?
