Posted November 28, 2006 Play.com are starting to pack my Wii games and accessories. Anybody else noticed this? Seems Call of Duty 3 is being packed and dispatched early. EA must have sent copies out early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 I just called up my gamestation. They are doing a midnight launch too. They said they are guaranteed to get 20 on launch day and it will probably be more. And I'm no. 20!!! So looks like my luck is in for the launch day AND midnight launch. It however does mean I'm gonna be lumped with two wii's as my woolies order is guaranteed too. If anyone wants to buy the second wii from me at NO EXTRA COST and you can collect then whoever wants to do so is more than welcome. I'm in London. Only 20? I preordered the Sunday after the Friday they started taking preorders, so I ought to get one. They may have messed my position up when they had to transfer my preorder to a different shop as my local one was closing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EA must have sent copies out early. I kind of expected this to happen... games and accessories sent out early, and then your Wii for launch day... but not quite this early!

EA must have sent copies out early. yeah happens all the time this in US. don't know if anyone noticed but COD 3 also has a release date of 1st December on Amazon (or at least it did), so I'm really not surprised at all, it is probably on its way to you.

Nintendo and GAME are expecting hundreds of customers who have pre-ordered their Nintendo Wii's to queue up to collect them on the stroke of midnight, so keen are they to start experiencing this unique way of playing games. The launch extravaganza will include music, crowd entertainment, competitions, pizza delivery and demonstration Wii pods to play on. The grand finale will be a countdown to midnight when the first Nintendo Wii will be purchased by the lucky gamer at the front of the queue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 28, 2006 I'm now going to the mid-night launch at my Gamestation next Thursday. Although I'll still have to go to school the next morning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 28, 2006 planning on selling my daughter to get to the front. who ever takes the deal will be disappointed with the lack of daughter I'd go to that if it wasn't for the fact I'd pre-ordered at my local Game store. Hopefully this won't be the only Game store to do a midnight launch as that would be pretty lame. Watford high street's Game is practically opposite a Gamestation and with most Gamestation stores doing a midnight launch it's going to look pretty lame if Game can't compete and open too. I know it's lame-sounding, but I haven't even decided what I'm getting at launch outside Twilight Princess and the Wii itself. I'd ideally like a few extra controllers and games but there's not really anything that speaks to me... and it isn't like I'll be playing anything with Zelda sitting there.

Posted November 28, 2006 I'm now going to the mid-night launch at my Gamestation next Thursday. Although I'll still have to go to school the next morning... i know what it feel like-i have 2 hours of Japanese class at 10am-12pm next friday. plan is start queuing up sometime between 8-10 then wait and play DS aka Pokemon Fire Fed and MK:DS, buy my Wii and games et al, run home (10 mins walk) and plug the thing in, play for 2 hours before sleep (i am weak!!!).

Posted November 28, 2006 i will que up for a midnight launch buy it ride home as fast as humanly possible (so 15 mins max) then go home and go to sleep. wake up the next day go to work and once i finish work get home fast and unwrap it. set it up amd play. dear god it will be beautifull i have tears in my eyes. does mean friday will be unbareable but i think it would be worse if i played it before work.

Posted November 28, 2006 Well my mum was up at my local GAME today and she spoke to one of the staff about Wii.Staff member said they don't think they can fill all their pre-orders and also that they won't be selling any games because there's a shortage and the only way they can get more games is if they can get people to pre-order them so they can order more.And the only way they can sell games is if people cancel their pre-order.

Posted November 28, 2006 If there is no midnight launch, I'll be at the store dead-early to pick up mine and my sister's Wii consoles. I'll then go home and play pretty much non-stop all weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a stash of food and drink all ready,just need the Wii,TP and some games now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 YAY!!!! GameStation in the Arndale is doing a Midnight Launch on the 8th guess who'll be first in the queue just cos their a freak-thats right-some fat bloke . . . or me :p Aww damnit no way! I pre-ordered from the big HMV on Market Street because as they're outside, a much bigger store than gamestation and not in the Arndale, I thought it'd be more likely that they'd do a midnight launch. I heard shops have to pay quite a bit if they want to do a midnight opening in the Arndale. Anyway HMV keep promising me that they'll "probably" do a midnight launch but can't say for sure yet so I'll no doubt see you in the general area! haha. If only we'd all pre-ordered from the same place we coud have met up and played mario kart while we waited lol. That woud be if i get my ds back from Nintendo which i sent last thursday. I hope GAME phone me up and say they're having a midnight launch. I will be ecstatic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 just for people who are seeing stuff already being packed at online stores, for call of duty on amazon it does indeed say: Availability: This item will be released on December 1, 2006. Pre-order now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 That's interesting,wonder if you'll get it on Friday then.A Wii game a week early,would make waiting to play it longer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 28, 2006 That could be true but i'm getting my Wii from GameStation at a midnight launch.I've got 2 Wii's pre-ordered and I already know i'm getting it on the day cause my parents know i;d just go buy one with my own money Hmm, as that in Stirling? I might have to go into Stirling on Saturday to preorder games at Gamestation... No it's a different one.I have Wii pre-ordered my local GAME at my nearest town centre,and I've got another Wii pre-ordered from GS. Wii for GAME is a back up ,should anything go wrong at the midnight launch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 Gamestation stated to me that games/accessory's will be ok for the people who have preordered a console. Therefore it seems that they won't allow anyone just to walk in and buy games on launch day until all those who preordered a console have purchased what they like.....seems pretty fair, but i doubt it will happen. They also told me not to worry as there will be plenty of wii: plays and Zeldas. Please note...this was about 2-3 weeks ago and last time i checked they didn't know what Wii:Play even was....

Posted November 28, 2006 I'm now going to the mid-night launch at my Gamestation next Thursday. Although I'll still have to go to school the next morning... I have a university Java exam at 8:45 the morning of the Wii release. I'll either stay awake and play the Wii (provided I get one on midnight launch) all night, or get a few hours kip then go to uni, and have a kip when I get in.
