    they're not taken anymore, big difference could you imagine the onslaught if they were selling them on a first come first served basis :eek:

    Is there any specific thing that influences a shop opening at Midnight?

    demand that's about it, and they are pressured into it, if one store does it and they don't it will be a loss of potential earnings.

    Game in Cork are doing midnight releases!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    dutch druid how did you find this info out? did they tell you when you booked the game?

    I'm still clinging to hope that Dun Laoghaire will.

    Don't fear, I'm in college and the day GTA is out will signal the end of the year for me. I'll be 'studying for my exams' :rolleyes:

    Hi Guy's new to the board!

    Anywho with that out of the way, someone mentioned Clarehall Gaemstop being open @ midnight, anyone got any idea if they are out of pre-orders or if the 24hr tesco sells games and what the chances of getting a copy there at midnight would be.

    Being based in swords it would be easy enough pop over but a bit out of the way if there was no copies left(no midnighters in swords as far as I know). Cheers!

    anyone know if extravision are gonna be open?


  • Registered Users Posts: 70 ✭✭mikew1985


    I don't think they open to midnight on weekdays and doubt they will do so for GTA4 but every report seems to suggest most xtravisions have sold out of their intial shipment anyway.(Can't get a preorder in swords and i've heard of others saying same!)

    Ridiculously they are taking pre-orders for a 2nd shipment but not telling folks until after they have placed their order:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Kanney

  • Registered Users Posts: 33 Nutmeg

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords
