I'll be bringing my coupon for a $10 gift card with purchase of MW2 which I'm only paying $30 with the Buy 1, get 50% off deal back in August. Man, I'm saving SO much money this fall, it's insane!=D #callofdutymodernwarfare2

    I'll be picking it up at midnight from GAME in Coventry. Trading in the copy of FIFA 10 I got with my PS3 Slim to get the standard edition half price, ftw.

    My justification is I want to report on the launch for my weekly university portfolio article. But really I just wanna play that campaign so much! #callofdutymodernwarfare2

    Why are consoles any different? I'm pretty sure I explained that.

    I didn't judge anyone unlike you. I just said the practice itself is dumb.Now dumb may be a strong word for it, silly might be appropriate but it's my opinion.

    @heretrix: Its all a matter of opinion really. If you simply cant wait for one of the most hyped games of the year then a midnight release is an awesome idea.
    Its not like it happens for every game, but when you think that this game has broken pre order sales in most countries then you can imagine that there are bound to be people willing to queue for a midnight release.
    From a stores point of view, its better that than have hundreds of people queueing in the morning and risk losing casual customers (parents and lil kids and what not).
    And you are a nerd...you are on a video games blog...we all are. The first step is admitting it. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

    @heretrix: I'm with WTF_G on this one. Why is a game launch any different from say...a 24 hour wal-mart? The store is open, the game is there to be bought. Hell, I've held a MW2 in my hands already. The sooner it can be played, the better.

    @Noyse: I guess it's because I've never seen a game that I couldn't pick up during normal store hours and I can't remember any game that I wanted so bad that I would go out in the middle of the night to get it.

    With Amazon shipping games to you release day and in some cases, a day before and stores breaking street dates left and right, I feel it's kind of silly.To each his own I guess.

    I remember everyone lining up outside Best Buy when MGS 4 came out and laughing to myself because a store right up the street was selling it already. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

    @heretrix:
    Just because YOU don't feel like going to midnight launches does not mean it's dumb.

    For me, midnight isn't really late. I'm typically out during those hours, so why not stop by and grab a video game I enjoy?

    I've always managed to meet some pretty cool people at these events. Made a few friends here and there, trade xbox gamertags, etc etc. Usually at the store I go to for these launch events, some people bring their TVs and game consoles and we all play some smash bros. or whatnot. It's quite fun. And the last one I went to (ODST, not a big fan but I wanted to grab it for my brother), we got a free spicy chicken sandwich/drink from chik-fil-a, and various other discounts from stores in the area I often shop at.

    And I think you're taking the "nerd" thing a bit too seriously. :p #callofdutymodernwarfare2

    @Mmm, Poptarts.: All of that stuff you mentioned I've been able to do during normal business hours. I work 9-5 and as much as I love gaming, I'm not losing any sleep over it. I don't consider midnight late, I just don't feel the need to go out and buy games at that hour when they are available during regular store hours.

    Trust me, there will be more than enough MW2 copies for everyone stores will be swimming in them for the next year..AT LEAST.

    As for the nerd thing, like I said, it's uncalled for. I don't consider anyone here a nerd, just gamers. But no worries. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

    I've only done one midnight launch - Super Smash Brothers Brawl - and that was with a friend, and to support the only independent game store in my college town.

    Going to Best Buy alone just doesn't have the same charm. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

    I've got a preorder for the game at Best Buy but it's not having a midnight sale, but there IS another Best Buy that is.

    Anyone know if it's possible to transfer my Pre-order to that store? #callofdutymodernwarfare2

    @Salen: Probably depends on what your pre-order was. Regular or Hardened edition? You can probably run over to the Best Buy that is and get a preorder in on that and just cancel your old one. Prestige Edition? Probably not transferable since they might not have as many units of those.... #callofdutymodernwarfare2

    I doubt it, because a lot of people got it legitimately and I doubt MS would want to ban people for buying the game legally. It's not our fault.

    @Scazza: Teenage? I wish I were still that young and naive. I'm in my mid 20's, and petitions are at least better than crying about something and doing nothing about it. If voices are not heard, corporations will simply think there is no problem and go ahead with their agenda. You speak with your wallet, and they will hear.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to matter to IW and Activision, who fail to realize that the PC community is what MADE this game this popular. At this point it will make millions and they won't give a damn, but at least the PC community banded together for the most part and wouldn't buy that piece of shit game if we had guns to our heads. See if the console community has that kind of devotion. We may have lost the battle, but we'll always win the war.

    Enjoy your dumbed down 9v9, laggy, forced DLC, corporate-controlled hype-machine pile of garbage they call MW2, while I play some real games with no constraints this holiday season. #callofdutymodernwarfare2
