Walmart will be open at midnight? South common I'm guessing?

can someone else confirm this cuz i would prefer to bypass a line too, havent heard anything about walmart

 

[Paralyzer]

Forget going at Midnight. Pre-order it online and be a Plus member then get your PS3 to download it automatically during the night when you sleep. Easy. I'll be playing it tomorrow afternoon

id rather have a hard copy

id rather have a hard copy

I move my PS3 too much to the point that I hate to grab 7-8 different hard copies when going to a friends house or going on a trip somewhere. Worth the money and hassle-free.

Same. I always forget about my downloaded games

I just went to the EB on stony plain road about half an hour ago and pre-ordered it, they'll be open for midnight. The guy at the desk sounded like they still have quite a few copies left.

 

[awesomo]

Doors anyone know how best buy midnight releases work. They wouldn't let Me pay full so I guess people will take forever to pay. Will there still be a line if I go 1230?

 

[thalegion]

I went to future shop south, they ordered 992 copies

South common Walmart will be open for release.

The Rockstar Midnight Launch store locator site DOES have south common Wal Mart as one of them.

But one comment was from a guy in Stoney plain that works at SP Wal Mart saying that he didn't hear anyting about that at his location.

Worth a gamble.

Definitely worth a gamble I'm sure a memo showed up

I don't know, I never pre ordered reach or diablo 3 but still got them

I am shocked a grand theft auto game would get this much attention. I could understand huge deals like Starcraft 2 or a Halo game, but never saw this coming. Hope it's good lol.

Grand theft auto has been arguably the biggest game franchise of the past 10 years (could argue that there's others such as CoD and such too though), not too surprising.

Does anyone know how long EB Games holds a pre-order for you? I pre-ordered GTA V back in February and I'm wondering if they'll still have a copy for me if I don't come in for a couple days.

They say 48 hours in the messages they leave.

Line ups at Walmart best buy and Walmart south common. Are pretty large

 

[ToothlessAggression]

West futureshop and eb games also have big lines, at walmart now no line outside but maybe its inside now

 

[ToothlessAggression]

Stony plain road walmart I saw about five people leave, I was the only one "in line". That was easy.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Line took about 20 minutes at South Common Wal-Mart

Ya I know a LOT of people that don't play CoD, or especially Halo, but I don't know a single gamer who doesn't play GTA

I haven't played GTA since Vice City on the ol' PS2.

It's not even because I don't like the game, GTA III was one of my favorites (which I even have installed on my phone). I sorta just let the series leave me behind.
