I know someone posted on here that they get games the night before they come out. What is a good time to get the game that night?

I did this either last year or the year before and there was a huge line. I recommend either coming a little early showing up about 30 or 40 mins late.

I know what the usually do at gamestop and EB games. You usually go around 10 or 11 p.m. At this time you will actually purchase the game and get your receipt. Then at 12p.m the open the doors up and you just walk in and hand them your receipt and the hand you the game and you walk right out. It usually goes pretty fast.

Nothing agaisnt the night shift at Walmart, but go around 11:00pm - 11:30pm and give them a story about you work at night and want to pick up a copy before you go to work...3 years straight both NCAA and Madden...

Gamestop and other are "SO CORRECT" they won't pass out before 12:00am...I know about the penalties and such, but TOOOO many copies hit the streets from Gamestop/EB Games/ETC. every year...

That is why we have become a nation of WAITING in lines for...

PS3, X-BOX's, Wii's, Apple I-Phones, etc...

It's like the stores say here and we wait in line to fetch...

Sorry about the rant....

I heard Best Buy on Bluebonnet is having a midnight release of the game. They also have flyers up stating that EA Sports is having their tailgating trailer with lots of extras, earlier in the day before the release.

Show up to Walmart and ask for it. It's no secret it's sitting in the back waiting to be stocked at least a day in advance. Most of the goons there dont know and probably dont care that there's a release date, they'll get it for you lol.
