Ok, so who is going to be queuing up tonight to grab their copy ASAP?

For the price they're going to charge ? No thanks. Not that I'm in to midnight launches and all that jazz anyway but I can't remember the last time I purchased anything from Game due to their high costs.

Anyone have any ideas where I might be able to track a copy down in Galway tonight? I had my sources in Dublin but none since I moved to Galway

I'm so pissed off because my brother got his early from play.com today :mad:

Anyone got any confirmation from any Tesco Dublin stores?

Called Nutgrove who hadn't the foggiest what I was on about?
"Gears of wha???"

Tescos may have it tomorrow afternoon or some time at the weekend for a cheaper price like they did with the GTA4 launch, your best bet is to get to your local XtraVision.

I popped into Xtravision xtragame in The Square, Tallaght on my way home and enquired. They said they are not opening at midnight but will open at 7 am tomorrow. Prebooked the special edition there and will be in early tomorrow. They did say however that 60 Xtravision branches are opening for 45 minutes at midnight tonight but I didn't ask which ones, I'm happy enuff if I get it on my way to work tomorrow and actually have in in my possession all day. Guess if u really want it telephone your local branch and enquire.

By the way it was €59.99 for the special edition Gears of War 2, €49.99 for standard edition

Feckin midnight launches makes it harder to get the staff to break the release early.

Who the hell wants to be goin to town for 12 for a game and then have to pay 15 quid for a taxi home? Remember no buses runnin after 11.30.

If I was goin I would end up goin out to a pub for a few hours to make it worth while. Which kind of makes getting the game redundant anyway.

Ban midnight launches.

Well i've to go into the office to do a few bits n swords is only down the road so its two birds with one stone...

When Halo 3 came out tesco charged full price at midnight, next morning they dropped the price to €35. I think they refunded the early buyers though.

Might be worth waiting...

On the NXE you can install games to make it quieter and load quicker.

I didn't enjoy GOW 1 that much.
I don't really have the time to spend on playing it.
Yet i'm still considering buying it. Hooray for marketing!
