Gears 2 midnight launch in Dublin?

Sean.Domo

Hey, I'm just wondering, does anybody know of anywhere that are doing a midnight release for Gears 2 in Dublin? I'm wondering because if you buy it at midnight you get a code for a sweet golden Hammerburst in online
Thanks,
SeanDomo

Really? Damn, that sucks. Hmm swords is a bit far seeing as I'm D6(South). But I think that in my local Xtra-Vision since they close at 10 if I went up and begged they would let the game slip 2 hours early. If theres no close midnight events i'll try that.

Last friday (in Gamestop Stephens Green) I was in collecting Fallout. Asked them are they having a midnight launch and they said its unlikely.

What are the chances of most stores like Xtravision etc getting the limited edition in?

I think they should. I remember them getting in Bioshock special ed.'s and Fallout 3 aswell so i presume they will for Gears.

I may see if I can pre-order one in Xtravision, was gonna get the special edition on play.com but I dont know if I can wait until after the weekend to play Gears!

GameStop on Henry Street are doing a midnight launch, I didn't hear anything about a special code been given out so that maybe a US special.

I pre-ordered the Special Edition in Xtra Vision

Game on Dawson ST had a sign mentioning a midnight opening. Don't remember anything about a code though.

Gamestop in Henry St had a sign in the window saying something along the lines of they're so confident people will LOVE the game that if you don't love it, you can return it for full store credit within 7 days of launch. Small print may apply of course...

The part about the 7 day return is true, no small print. They had it for Far Cry 2 and I did it.
Off topic kinda, but has anyone notices that on smyths' website the LE is €10 cheaper than the normal edition? http://www.toys.ie/Shop_Product_List.aspx?Profile=Euro&query=gears%202

They don't give a price though, maybe they're waiting to see what deals Smiths or Tesco are doing, here's hoping anyway.

You can add Waterford to that list, they rang me earlier to confirm that I had a pre-order with them and then informed me that they're opening at midnight and asked if I'd be there. How nice of them

Mine has arrived from Gamesnash! Everyone use them they are always a day early even with free standard post. And it only cost me €49.99. If you ordered now you might even get it for tomorrow.
