YugoRocketsFan Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Bought a game at midnight? I was thinking of buying 2 games, do they get stored on the shelves at midnight? Like if I went to Wal-Mart at midnight to buy Fifa 11 and Dead Rising 2, it would be stocked right? Ive never done this before, so could anyone tell me.

The Regime Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I bought Madden at midnight this year, and thats only because I got off work at midnight. Outside of that, I would much rather just wait till the next day. As far as I know the game are stocked by midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Bought GTA San Andreas at Midnight a few years back when it came out. Pretty sure I did it for a Madden or NCAA too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Michael Jordan Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 My understanding is that you can only buy a game at midnight if it has an event of sorts for it. For example, a few years back I wanted to buy NBA Live 08 at midnight, but they told me it released the day of at 9:00AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Most stores only have midnight releases for big games. And you must reserve to get it for the midnight release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 You'll be fine at a 24 hr wal mart as long as it isn't in the middle of nowhere. Preorder doesn't matter, but the games you are getting might not be high profile enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preorder doesn't matter, but the games you are getting might not be high profile enough Fifa 11 is a pretty big game, it gets sold out at Wal-Mart quickly over here. I think I am going to check the 2 walmarts around here if they have it midnight, if not I will just wake up early the day before and buy it.

Dr. Feelgood Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I bought GTA4 at midnight but it was on a Wednesday, I had to get up at 6AM for work. My buddy wanted me to go, so I did. Well, the store did a really [expletive]ty way of handing out the games, at like 11:45PM, they decided they were going to do a sign up list for people to get the game first. Well, I didn't hear about this sign up list until about 11:55PM, so I didn't get to leave the store with my game until about 12:40AM. When I got my game, I got a ride from someone else that I knew as my friend still had to wait and I was already tired as hell. I didn't even play the game until after work. I could have waited. I told myself that I'm never going to buy a game at midnight unless it's on a weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have never bought a game at midnight since they always come out on weekdays and I would have school the next day. If the game was really good and I didn't have school I would pick it up. Plus, games don't sell out anymore, especially on the first day. I remember Halo 3, everyone and their mother wanted that game, I walked into Bestbuy at like 5 PM the day it came out and they had an entire shelf with plenty of copies. I camped out for a Nintendo Wii though, woke up at 3 AM and made a line at Toys R Us with like 10 other people, and when they opened the store they said they didn't have it, even though they said they would have it.
