Anyone going?

Wondering what time I'd want to be going, don't know whether to expect a big crowd or not.

Haha, take it your not going then?

Only thing I hate about these launches are the drunk idiots shouting at you while you stand outside :P

You can try, they may turn you away though, as they usually block off most of the store for these things.

I was told on monday they were having a midnight launch, just got back. not a peep from the shop. I'm just pissed I had to take time to go out at midnight for nothing

Was it definitely today... um... yesterday... an hour ago?

I don't recall HMV ever doing a midnight launch of anything. GAME on Eglington might, though.

I dont think you have to worry about the 3DS selling out tbh.
