I've never done that before but if I ever did, I'd probably just go to GameStop.

Those stores are open at midnight...? Our Gamestop closes at seven and as far as I know we don't even have an EB games around where I live.

I'd say Walmart. They're open 24/7. Not like these other stores will have it for less if your looking for Final Fantasy XIII. You'll just have to fight the crowd.

After getting so many lemons (Killzone 2, Resistance 2, etc.) at midnight launches, I have ceased to go to them.

gamestop is best for midnight releases. but sometimes they arent open for low level games. only open for huge games. but walmart always is open. but you will probably have to ask someone to go to the back and getit for you. ask one of the back workers not one of the floor employees

I think Final Fantasy would classify as a "huge game".

Just find the shady guy in the back alley with the long black coat, he's great for all your midnight game runs... : ) Seriously though, I don't know any store around me that is open at midnight, except fast food resturaunts, and they don't have video games. Maybe Best Buy?

uhh..... Walmart? They are open 24 hours. Unless it's a major holiday, ie. Christmas, Thanksgiving & so on. Haven't experienced buying a game at midnight but I have seen lines for a game (I wanna say it was a Blizzard game) launched at midnight when I was leaving a movie theatre once. Didn't seem pleasant at all. It was raining & freezing cold. Everyone looked excited but miserable, especially the friends who were dragged there. :D

im assumein that if you dont know where to go then you didnt preorder it, so gamestop would be out of the question if you have a 24 hour walmart you can go there, if not call your local stores ( walmart/bestbuy/target/etc ) and ask if they are sellin the game at midnight

I don't buy games at midnight. I can wait a bit. But usually certain stores have midnight releases. Primarily gamestop or best buy.

Most Wal-Marts are open 24/7 and they start selling games at 12:01AM.

I've gone to ASDA in the past. In fact, I think I've only ever gone at midnight on two occasions; Mirrors Edge and Bayonetta being the reasons.

best buy/future shop

more product than gamestop/eb, less lame, faster. Usually I can head there around 12:15 and just walk right in and buy the game. No preorder, nothing. I generally don't care about midnight launches but sometimes I'm just around one at the right time. I picked up halo 3 and mw2 for ps3 at ~12:15 with no problems

Gamestop. I've only done it twice though. Once for FFXII and the other was to pick up my Wii.

Every midnight launch I've ever been to has always been at Gamestop.

I've only bought 2 games on Midnight release that's because Tesco isn't that far it's pretty much down the road of where I live.
