Movie theaters have been doing 7PM showtimes for new movies instead of 12:05AM showings for about four years now (and a few smattered across even before then, Pirates 3 comes to mind) and it's cool that the game industry is doing it too.

I haven't been to a midnight launch in a long time but that's cool if they're doing it at 9 now.

I always thought they did those in the west coast because if they came out at midnight on the east coast, then it would be 9 on the west coast

A pity I'll never go to gamestop again after what they did when I preordered Skyrim.

Walmart is open all night long and never has a line.

Was it always their choice? I thought the whole midnight release thing was because they legally had to abide by the street date or something.

They clearly managed to negotiate it, because if not there would be trouble.

Nothing so serious, I'm just one of those people who can get pissed off over some petty shit.

I preordered skyrim, paid in full at the time months early. Kept my recept, took it with me to go stand in line around 11 in the michigan winter. Go in and handed my receipt over and the girl says "you don't have a sticker back of the line". I have no fucking clue what she is talking about and give her the "I'm tired, cold, and not interested in playing stupid games" look.

They give me my game, but I was pretty frustrated about it at some later point I learned apparently you go in earlier in the day to get a sticker? But that was never explained to me and the idea sounds pretty fucking stupid to begin with.

So yea, I haven't been back to game stop since just from something so petty.

Don't listen to KBE.

That's a dumbass thing for them to do. Not the employee mind you, but the company. If you have a pre-order, it shouldn't matter whether you have a 'sticker' or not. One of those copies is rightfully yours and you should have been given that copy. Unfortunately, Gamestop has decided that pre-orders don't mean anything and that you still may not get one at the end of the day.

If I pre-order something it's specifically because I don't want to fuck with any of that bullshit.

It is petty, but that is dumb with the sticker. I'm so tired of GS's shit too, they are a last resort for me now.

The sticker thing is to make sure the people that got to the store first get the game first.

You can be first in line when they start handing out stickers, and then roll in at 12 or 9 (whatever time they are selling the game) and skip the line.

18 years ago when I worked at Gamestop we sold the game immediately when we got it in (weeks in advance).
