Also, it's less commitment, but in this new digital era, have you stayed up to play a pre-order right at midnight? I did that for Forza Horizon 3

The only midnight showing I went to was for Skyfall, back in college.

Yes, for Smash Wii U and Pokemon ORAS (released on the same day).

Probably the only time I will do that, especially with me doing digital with the Switch.

Yeah for Assassin's Creed Revelations. I figured why not since I loved the series back then and the Gamestop was 10 minutes from campus and <5 minutes from where I lived so I camped out for 3 hours while reading papers

I stayed up to play my preorder of GTA5 and Xenoverse

Yep, once. MGS4.

It's funny. GS already had all the bundles claimed when I got there at 9-ish, so I went home. Later I figured "might as well try Walmart", walked in at 12:30, saw nobody except employees, got one from the fully stocked shelf, learned there was a bonus $100 gift card with purchase of any blu-ray player (and the PS3 counted), bought it and walked out.

I have issues because I had no one to play pokemon red with, so I played the whole game all alone. My friend got it, but wouldn't even beat the first gym or battle me or anything

I've done both. The dark knight, and star wars phantom menace. As far as games? A few different ones.

Since I've went digital, I haven't bought a physical game in a few years, other than a couple switch games. Also, since I've had a kid, I haven't went to a midnight movie.

I'm on the west coast so they're at 9 PM here.

I've gone to a couple recently, God of War and Detroit Become Human. It's only at 9 so not really a big deal to go and technically get the game a bit early.

Smash 3DS was the only game I think.

I saw a midnight release for either Iron Man 3 or Avengers, I forget. I saw Star Wars VII and VIII at the first showing which was at like 8 or 9.

I used to go to midnight movie premieres when I was a kid. The last one I went to was Social Network in college, mainly because I didn't realize it was the midnight premiere and at that point realized that living in a big city sort of trivialized it. Also, they started premieres earlier and earlier.

I've done some midnight MTG prereleases like @Goats said above.

I've waited til midnight to get a couple of games, but I would just go to the Walmart that's right by one of our GameStops and not deal with a bunch of nerds or any kind of wait. In and out in under 5 minutes.

No to title

Yes to

Also, it's less commitment, but in this new digital era, have you stayed up to play a pre-order right at midnight?


First one was Sly Cooper 4 on PSVita... though it was 1 AM when it actually launched (Damn british time)

Second, is probably Xenoverse 2 (which was around midnight)

I think i did for AC Origins as well.

Pulling an allnighter is relatively easy for me.

Halo 2. My mall had two gamestops, so when I pulled up and saw the line I jumped in it and waited for about 30 minutes before I realized it was the wrong one. I went to another entrance in walked in and out with the game. It was a fun experience though.

Yes, I did a few midnight releases of Xbox 360 games with friends back in high school. It's been about 10 years since I did the last one, though. I either download my games or Amazon release day delivery is good enough.

I went to a Mario Kart Wii event for Nintendo NY. You could also buy a copy of the game a day early but i went just for the freebies.

Sadly I haven't been to another event there due to so much people.
