    Had to go to Brothers bank first- RSB is always mobbed! so I had to wait in a long queue just to put a tenner into his bank. Then after that I popped into HMV and pick up my Pokemon Black.

    I went to Gamestop as soon as it opened. No line at all.
    Most people mobbed Walmart's midnight release while I was fast asleep. :)

    I was at gamestop a few minutes after the store opened at 9AM and only had to wait in line for about 15 minutes. I wish I would have gone to Walmart at midnight like some of you did though

    Didn't have to wait in line. The shop I peordered from didn't have them, so I cancelled pre-order and went to EB games, who had both + a guide. And a 30 year old there playing B/W on his DS said "if you're getting them for your son then tell him Victini isn't working yet". TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT. lol. ;__;

    Went to a Gamestop in a mall, boyfriend and I loled about the drawer just full of Pokemon. He said "Pokemon Black and Pokemon White please", the guy turned left, opened a drawer, and the entire huge drawer was just filled with copies to make it easy for them.

    We had to wait a few minutes but we picked up Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn and our Celebis while we were there.

    Was in the mall, knew that a new Pokemon game was coming out but didn't know the exact day, went to GameStop, saw the poster that it comes out that exact day, ask if they were selling the game to people that didn't pre order (They sometimes won't sell you a game on release date if you didn't pre order). They said yes and got white. Had to wait in line for like 3 or 4 minutes.

    Not long at all. I had preordered my copy. I waited maybe five minutes and amused people with my service dog (I had a pikachu patch on his vest to commemorate the event XD). My fiancee and I walked up, got our games and guide, and walked out.
