DTro Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have a really hard time playing the campaign when I see everyone on my friends list online playing multiplayer (feeling like I’m missing out on some fun).I’m sure I’ll just dive right in to multiplayer and follow up with some campaign during the weekends.

zamboni Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Just hoping not preordering it won't kick me in the kiester. I was at GH:World Tour launch at midnight at WalMart and am planning on doing that for MW2. Big difference this time, I got GH for the Wii, and will be getting MW2 for the PS3. I was the only one getting GH for the Wii that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnUpTheFishing Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I preordered it when I traded in some old games but honestly I think stores ordered plenty of copies. I dont think you'll have trouble finding a copy especialy if you hit a midnight release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 From what I recall, there has never been a game shortage with any console. The games are easy, they just keep stamping. Because of that, I’ve never preordered. I’ve actually heard stories of people preordering and then not getting the game release day due to that particular store having shipping delays. At least if you don’t preorder, you have the option of running to different stores to find the game.Preordering seems to be the new hype, but I’ve always walked into Target or Wal-Mart on my way home from work on release day and found plenty of copies to be had. Even with the biggest names such as HALO or the previous COD’s.All the anticipation makes a guy want to maybe head over for the midnight deal, but probably not for me.

zamboni Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 All the anticipation makes a guy want to maybe head over for the midnight deal, but probably not for me. One reason I am doing the midnight deal is I don't work, and I don't have class tuesday, so I think I will be up all night playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMITOUT Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 NEW YORK -This holiday season's biggest entertainment blockbuster likely will be a sequel to a popular franchise, with jarring depictions of war and an intricate story of good versus evil. It could easily rake in more than last year's record $155 million opening weekend for "The Dark Knight."But this blockbuster is not a movie.It is "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," a video game that Activision Blizzard Inc. is releasing Tuesday. Fans worldwide are expected to spend at least half a billion dollars on the game in the first week.That would at least match last year's "Grand Theft Auto IV," which was the most successful video game release in history and might have been the top entertainment launch ever.

Chris519 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Horrible timing for me!! I really wanted to get COD on Tuesday but...I was playing xbox last night. I heard a 'pop' than my screen froze. I tried to reboot and got the red ring of death!Now I have to decide what to do. Get another xbox or go to PS3.Which is better?

Bigbartguy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'd go 360, send it in for repair and wait it out. Possible $99 repair fee is cheaper than a new system. But I'm biased as a 360 owner.there are also repair places listed on C***slist that can probably turn it around quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 So is the midnight release tonight or tomorrow night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry FlatCaster Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I would take it as 11/10/09 Midnight... Tonight at the stroke of 12.... I'll be getting mine in the morning tomorrow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LwnmwnMan2 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 So is the midnight release tonight or tomorrow night? 12:01 11/10/09. I have one on pre-order from Gamestop, but funny, my checkcard has zero money in the account. Guess I'll be buying one tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Now I have to decide what to do. Get another xbox or go to PS3.Which is better? Why get another one???? Brand new ones are still failing. Get a PS3, I have had both, and love my PS3, hated the 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJH Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I agree. I don't get that at all.Can't wait until tomorrow!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shnelson Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 gamestop sent me instructions to come in between 8pm-11 tonight to finalize payment and pick the game up at 12:01. I was hoping to wait until after midnight to cruise in and pick up my copy, but now it looks like I'll be hanging out at the local BWW's till then . Chris519, as far as your xbox failing and what to do - how invested are you into this gaming system (do you have controllers, accessories, games, etc?). I'd opt to stick with the 360 platform if mine failed, only because it would be a hefty investment to switch over to the ps3 and match all of my accessories. There's a plus side too, the store that rhymes with mal-wart has a deal on a 360 arcade, you pay $199 for the system and they give you a $100 gift card. You skip waiting for a repair and you get a brand new console for that price! You can swap your hard drive over and be good as new. The new arcade consoles also come with HDMI.

DTro Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I called GameStop a while ago to get the skinny.I was told I could still “preorder” the game right up until 8pm tonight if I wanted to.Then you think you could just show up at midnight right? Well I was told that people will start lining up at 8 and they will be sold in that priority for those in line.That sounds like a great plan.NOTSeeing as they are taking preorders right up until 8pm tonight leads me to believe that they are going to have a ton of copies available.

Which one did you call? I just tried the stillwater location, the guy seemed really confused. I was hoping they were able to release the game early like the east coast gamestops are already doing but no luck. He told me you can pre-order and or pay for your pre-order up until the store closing at 9pm tonight. Then they re-open at 10, at which time you can still pre-order/pay; and start releasing the game at 12:01. He said it's best to pay for it earlier so you can get rushed through the line as they are expecting a lot of people to be paying for it last minute.

DTro Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I called the one in Shakopee.If you still have to wait in line, then this preorder business is for the birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 To me, just going in tomorrow, makes more sense. Unless of course you plan on staying up all night tonight playing it. I am willing to bet that if I wanted one tomorrow afternoon, I would be able to get one without stopping at more then a couple stores. I want one, I want one soon, but I can wait until tomorrow, or even this weekend to buy one, I am not standing in line for 4 hours or more to get a game.

Bigbartguy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think each store is probably expecting 100-200 people at their midnight release........meaning that 100-200 folks are going to need to be 'processed' thru to get their game, prepaid or not. So it's going to take awhile no matter how they run it.If you want it at Midnight, preordering is probably your best bet. On release day there will be thousands of copies at every store you go to. I've got it on preoder at BB, but am going to have my wife run over to Toys'r' tommorrow and get the free $20 gift card w/ the game purchase. I'll just get refund of my $5 from BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shnelson Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I wouldn't pre-order the standard edition of any game - there should be no reason why you couldn't walk into any store tomorrow and pick one up. I pre-ordered the prestige edition because quantity is limited and I really wanted my nvg's. I suspect a fellow should be able to show up at a midnight release store tonight after the lines die down (12:15am or so?) and be on their way home by 12:30 or a little later.
