Call Of Duty:Black Ops Midnight Launch

Big Baby Jaysus

Hello, thaught it would be handy to open this thread, give the list of places who are doin a midnight launch of this game. Sorry if its been posted before and sorry if its too soon, i for some reason thaught official launch was monday, but its tuesday, what a poor day for a release! DYING FOR IT!

I believe several GAME stores across the country are doing it. I know for definite that the Liffey Valley Shopping Center will remain open from the cinema entrance to allow people in from midnight onwards.
They're also opening early in the morning for the release too.

i have nothing booked, but am hoping to get it cheap in my local tesco in mallow monday night. failing that i will have to run up to gamestop and pay the higher price once they have it in stock.

i am unsure whether xtravision are opening at midnight

The cinema end remains open anyway... are you sure about this ?

the cinema end stays open til about 3 in the morning until all the staff get out and that but they block off everything after boots and nobody is allowed beyond that point unless your staff (and even then you need to give a good reason to go beyond).

HMV in Liffey Valley are not doing a midnight open ... hell i don't think we're even opening early at all for this but i'm not sure. open at 9 anyway)

but for those with a dying wish to buy from GAME and the likes remember Black ops is €5 cheaper in HMV than everywhere else.

I believe in HMV it is €48.99 but in game and the likes its €52.99 !

Game on Dawson Street are doing a midnight launch. Phoned me about it on Saturday said something about list of trade ins they accept against it and that if you buy another chart game black ops drops to 35 euros. They're opening at 8 on Tuesday morning as well.

krudler

GAME in Mahon Point, Cork are doing a midnight launch. Although with the weather down here at the moment, it hopefully shouldn't take too long to go in, pick it up and get it home

ktulu123

Are HMV and Game in dundrum open at midnight? Also will the hardened edition be there having not pre booked it?

Cheers

paranormal

Gamestop in Longford are doing a midnight opening. Pre- booked 4 copies on PC for me and the lads. 3 hours 20 and counting!

I-Shot-Jr

I dont have it booked or pre ordered unfortunately. I live in Dublin city centre so I can get to any city centre store, do you reckon you absolutely have to have it booked?

No, there's no need to pre-book. in most big stores they expect to sell a lot of copies trust me they won't risk running out when there's such a demand.

All stores doing midnight release know the score form last year when MW2 came out
Black-ops will sell more copies than MW2 I reckon.

P.S Game on Dawson street probably won't be as busy as other stores in the city
All extra-vision stores are doing it too afaik

Wonder if the mugging figures go up this month

Pretty sad alright. Everyone that goes into the stores tonight will get the game. Can't see thousands of people going out and getting it tonight. If you arrive in at 12 you will get the game. Being there 3 or 4 hours beforehand won't get you it much quicker.

Just back from the Bray Smyths launch. Strolled in at 12.15, 2 people in a queue, both paid €54.99, I walked up and said, "Hi, Xbox please, and I got a txt saying it was €47.99?" Girl says "Its €45.99". Got change from my 50 and left. Drove past Gamestop where there were around 30 people queueing out the door.

okla

Just back from Smyths Airside.
Must have been about 80 people queueing on a cold miserable night.
Installing now and kettle on.
Long night ahead :rolleyes:

Meleftone

Just back from Tesco in Maynooth no queue as I was leaving, paid €43.95
