    I believe several GAME stores across the country are doing it. I know for definite that the Liffey Valley Shopping Center will remain open from the cinema entrance to allow people in from midnight onwards.
    They're also opening early in the morning for the release too.

    i have nothing booked, but am hoping to get it cheap in my local tesco in mallow monday night. failing that i will have to run up to gamestop and pay the higher price once they have it in stock.

    i am unsure whether xtravision are opening at midnight

    The cinema end remains open anyway... are you sure about this ?

    the cinema end stays open til about 3 in the morning until all the staff get out and that but they block off everything after boots and nobody is allowed beyond that point unless your staff (and even then you need to give a good reason to go beyond).

    HMV in Liffey Valley are not doing a midnight open ... hell i don't think we're even opening early at all for this but i'm not sure. open at 9 anyway)

    but for those with a dying wish to buy from GAME and the likes remember Black ops is €5 cheaper in HMV than everywhere else.

    I believe in HMV it is €48.99 but in game and the likes its €52.99 !

    GAME in Mahon Point, Cork are doing a midnight launch. Although with the weather down here at the moment, it hopefully shouldn't take too long to go in, pick it up and get it home :D

    I dont have it booked or pre ordered unfortunately. I live in Dublin city centre so I can get to any city centre store, do you reckon you absolutely have to have it booked?

    No, there's no need to pre-book. in most big stores they expect to sell a lot of copies trust me they won't risk running out when there's such a demand.

    All stores doing midnight release know the score form last year when MW2 came out
    Black-ops will sell more copies than MW2 I reckon.

    P.S Game on Dawson street probably won't be as busy as other stores in the city
    All extra-vision stores are doing it too afaik
