Would you pay anything extra to get Black Ops a couple of hours earlier?

    Well would you?

    I might be able to get Black Ops around lunchtime on the Monday rather then picking it up at Midnight in Tescos which your probably looking at between 45 and 50?
    I'm thinking I might go as far as €60 just to pick it up on the PS3.

    Extra tenner to get it on the Saturday/Sunday. Maybe an extra fiver to get it on the Monday. I'll be in college so it's not like I'll have that much play time anyways.

    Quickie maybe. Not money tho.

    I wouldn't pay extra to get it early. 1 extra day wont matter considering it will probably be the only game I play for the next 12 months. I have new vegas to tide me over until its released anyway.

    Whats the point, you go online , chances are you get a console ban.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    I wouldnt pay anything as Ive waited this long to play so an extra day aor few hours wont matter to me.

    No, it would be a bit sad sitting in the lobby from early monday until midnight waiting for the boards gang to sign in :pac:

    ^
    A bit like when you were younger, going to a party, and getting dropped off way too early :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 357 ✭✭brennarr


    No point


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    Sure you would only be playing against yourself anyways so what's the point?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,468 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    Nah not paying any extra but will be hopefully getting it a couple of hours earlier, ok boardies might not be on but guarenteed there will be people getting it earlier either via internet orders arriving a day early, I don't think they are going to reset stats either. Anyway it might not happen either way I'll see you all around 12.30am on the 9th :)

    For the convenience of not having to get up the next morning or go to the midnight launch (don't drive) I'd deffo pay a bit extra.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,748 ✭✭✭rolexeagle1


    pay more money? dont think so, considering you are going to pay average about 50 euro for the game, and i only have part time hours at the moment, i wouldnt pay any extra for it early.

    as Doyler said you would only be playing against yourself, id say there are serious embargo's on the game anyway, it would probably be very very hard to get your hands on a copy before very late on the monday night, unless you worked in Tesco or a super market somewhere that is not a leading game retailer (gamestop, game etc.) cause they would take the midnight release thing way more seriously then a super market. Although i tried tesco (ballybrack) before midnight last year and no dice, went back at midnight and there was a pretty bug queue.

    Leadreboards and stats will all be reset at midnight also, like they did with MW2 so no one had an unfair advantage.

    When CH woke up the next day he immediately became aware that several people were looking for him, including representatives of Treyarch and an investigation agency hired by Activision called IP Cybercrime. He also found himself being followed by a tinted out vehicle.
    A few days extra doesn't seem to be worth the hassle, and I would wonder who the person the OP sells it to make work for?

    Surely playing this before release will act as a giant red beacon on Sony servers??

    No to the original question.
