Charlie Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 http://devron.wordpress.com/2006/09/24/playstation-3-and-nintendo-wii-launch-day-camp-out-guide/ That is well worth a read if you're planning on going to a midnight launch or something. Lots of good tips, some funny parts too. As he said, your safety is paramount, don't get your Wii stolen off you right after you buy it!
AshMat Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Im still trying to get permission to go to a midnight launch
Guest Stefkov Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I hope they do a midnight launch. My dad can take me, and ill be more than happy to go. I might go back to GAME and ask them this week. Thats a pretty good list there. However I wont be camping two days before the system launches.
Cube Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Would it be worth getting £7-10 Taxi? (it's a 30-min walk to my flats..and I ain't exactly a big or strong guy...)
Kazzahdrane Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 If you've pre-ordered and the store has enough units for you there's no need to camp out for an extended period of time. Take a hot drink, wrap up warm, and turn up about 3 hours before midnight with your DS and some multiplayer games. I'm a bit sad I won't be able to do that with people as I'll most likely actually be selling the thing at midnight. Wonder if the DS wi-fi multiplayer will reach from outside to the back of the shop....
Mike Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I'll definitely be going to a midnight launch if my Gamestation's doing one. Never done one before - should be good!
Charlie Posted October 25, 2006 Author Posted October 25, 2006 Would it be worth getting £7-10 Taxi? (it's a 30-min walk to my flats..and I ain't exactly a big or strong guy...) I would definitely get a taxi back, I don't know where you live, but the chances are you'll be in a city, and walking around a city at 12:30 at night with a big bag and lots of expensive stuff isn't usually the best idea...
KKOB Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I'll definitely be going to a midnight launch if my Gamestation's doing one. Never done one before - should be good! i've done one-DS Launch March 11th - i was first in line too
Kav Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I've never done one before... but my local Gamestation (Altrincham, Machester) hinted that they might be doing a midnight launch... yet to be confirmed I believe! Sure hope they do!!!
Miharu Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I would like to queue for Wii on December 8th, but looks like I'm thinking I'll ask it as a birthday present from my parents. Christmas would then feel really special, and I'd have my whole family to show how the Wii works Any other day of the year they wouldn't care one bit.
scubahood Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Im hoping for midnight launch although my store didn't know when i asked
Kazzahdrane Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Ask at your local Gamestation in a couple of weeks. Mostly it will come down to the manager and the number of pre-orders they've taken.
Emasher Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 arrrrrrrrrrrrrrg no midnight lanches in canada the np i got at noon had a guide too i'll have it at noon on the 19th (no big lines in my city) plus i preordered it. expect reviews if you must wait in a long line for a long yime for your wii a ds is a must.
Ramar Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Hopefully I can book the night off work and go down to my local gamestation, by then my friend will have a car and my plan will be complete.
martinist Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 My GAME isn't doing a midnight launch so i guess i'll just get it on december 8th at about 11 o'clock
Nintenchris Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Hmm i also suggest taking a hat... not to wear but to put on the floor... people might think your a hobo/tramp and help your Wii fund out a little!
