Posted January 7, 2006 Well it may be 10 months away (possibly) but I'm already planning my trip form Shetland to London for the Revolution launch. I'm saving up my dimes and was wondering has anyone here been to a big launch party? Like the Cube's or the Dreamcast's? I'm sure it's not that much of a party, just stores wanting to cash in... but I've seen an artical about the Dreamcast's launch and it looked freekin' sweet. Anyone had an experience of these or slept outside a store to wait? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 7, 2006 I keep asking my mum but thee is no chance my mum is taking me at midnight to get it, i should get my mate lewis around. He's pretty much a ninty fanboy. It'll be in my msn name etc tho, msn space etc. Link to the arcticle u were reading?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 7, 2006 Well as soon as it is possible too I will be pre ordering my Rev, as I don't want the worry of the shortages like with 360. When I do I don't know whether to pre order from Gameplay.co.uk or a shop. Gameplay are VERY reliable etc. but then buying a new console on impulse is a special feeling, especially on launch day. I'd probably pre order from a shop then go buy it from them on launch day rather than stay up at 12. I'll wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 7, 2006 I dont wanna pre-order from GP, because it wont fit through the letter box uso ill have to go to the post office to get i, that'll be thenext day because it wont be there. Ill pre-order from gamestation. unless hte realease date is on a school holiday,in that case. Gameplay, straight away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 7, 2006 My mum would never let me stayhome from school, shes damn cool, but not soooo cool that she'd let me do that. I want to go at midnight to GS but she wont take me , talkin to sarka on smn. Lucky bastard stayin at his grans with sarkas_girly palyin revo on a 42" plasma. Ill have to wait till after school to go get it no doubtt, unless eh'll take me at like 5 in the mornin No games ah! but we DO knwo that there'll be SMB and MArio because Iwata has said tha he's pressuring Shigzy to get Mario for release (or zelda, i forgety).

Posted January 7, 2006 Still not sure whether im getting one but if I do I'll just put one buy at work and reap in discountal benefits. Although I will be at uni so I'll get someone else to do it for me. Could be a fun game, "whose travelled furthest to buy it?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 7, 2006 I want to queue outdoors for days without food or showering. However, I can't. So I'm ging to queue up for a good few hours then get one at midnight. Go to sarka_girly's Granny's house and play it on her huge TV's! Sounds like plan to me. And the Dreamcast launch report was in the Dreamcast Magazine. EDIT: I'm pretty sure I'll win that one Ashley, as I live slighty more norht than Sarkas_girly and according to my Dad it's 950 miles from my house to London.

Posted January 7, 2006 I'll be there. Was at Virgin for the DS release although i didn't have the money to get one bu that was ver fun. The release for Nintendogs was soooo much better though; lots of show dogs and a weird mega sized demo pod in the hape of a bone!! I would say to people if you wanna be in the queue then arrive at the very least 5 hours early. I will probably be there before that but if people wanna hook up thats cool...

Posted January 7, 2006 If it comes out in November there's a possibility I'll be able to drive by then, so I'll be able to go into Glasgow to get one at midnight. I'll probably just preorder from Gameplay though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 8, 2006 Well I don't know, I want my Revolution as soon as possible. So if I pre-order from Gameplay.com I could recieve it a day early although I might get it days after the launch but then if I pre-order from GAME or Gamestation then I would get it at midnight and enjoy the atmosphere so I dunno how am going to get it yet :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 8, 2006 Fro the first time since the N64, I'll be there at midnight for the Revolution launch. Even with 10 months to go, I'm still ridiculously excited about it despite knowing next to nothing about any of the games. Haven't felt like this since well...the run up to the N64! I'll be reserving as soon as a date is announced at one of the major game shops in London (GAME on Oxford Street for example), and it would be rather nice to see some of you guys there in line with your DSs. The money's been set aside for a while, only 10 months to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 8, 2006 Do most big stores on Oxford Street open at midnight for a conosle launch? Or do they try and concentrate it into one store? I hope we can all meet up somewhere and have a joyous time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 8, 2006 Personally I will be pre-ordering it ASAP. I have always wanted to go to a midnight opening for a console and this will probably be the one for me seeing as I can drive now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 8, 2006 I haven't been to a midnight opening for a console or anything, but went to the 8am one for Nintendogs at HMV Oxford Circus. I got 2 free games after buing Nintendogs, and a goodie bag. It was well worth it, and on my way to school! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 8, 2006 In Austria are no big launch parties, actually there aren't any launch parties at all I'll pre-order mine at a games shop. They usually sell the items when they have them in stock (if you pre-ordered them); I got MK DS two days before the official release that way and hopefully this will also apply to the Revo.

Posted January 8, 2006 I went to pick up my gamecube at 12 at game. it was really uneventful. hopefully i'll have a car by the time it comes out so i'll bob over to leeds. seens as though it's a big city there might be something going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
