    Lined up at Best Buy for the PS2 the morning of launch, only cuz my PSone was dying and I saved enough of my money bagging groceries that summer! Plus my high school was on Fall break that day. I never have nor will do it for a game though.

    Do a lot of people go to that store/know about it? If yes, then go early, if no then you could probably waltz on in and anytime and they'd still have it.

    Matter of fact, just go early just in case.

    Go the ? to sleep and wait till the morning fool...12 hours without a game you don't have yet won't ? you. You got that ? preorderd too...I thought that was the point...pre ordering ? so you don't have to worry about it being sold out when you do finally get there. Midnight releases are for ? without jobs to go to in the morning in which case you don't need to be buying video games. That is if you're not just off tomorrow.

    LOL @ thanks Jeremy Maclin thats fked up...but yeah man I've never been to a midnight release but I'm assuming they're overrated as hell. I heard of people standing in line for up to 2 n a half hours for games like Halo and Black Ops...Damn that I'll wait till the morning after I get up if I want a game that bad or just when I get home and walk right in and come right back out 2 minutes later.
