I'll be going to a midnight launch of Halo: Reach. This is my first so what should I expect in terms attitude from the crowd and employees? Also the event takes place in Eaton Centre of downtown Toronto. How much earlier should I be there?

GameStop? If so you pay in advance and then at 12:01 you just show them your stamped receipt, takes like 5 minutes for the entire line to dissipate. So what I'm trying to say is... arrive at 11:55.

Dunno, I went to pick up Halo 3 at my local Wal-mart's midnight release and there was one other guy there. I live in a small country town though.

The Gamestop in my area usually has a pretty large showing for most big titles. Before 12 they ring you up, and then you get back in line where they hand out games starting at 12. Bring a friend (my brother usually goes with me) and you should meet some cool, like-minded people.

I'm doing my third midnight release. The first was GoW2 at Game Crazy and it was not particularly interesting, just a bunch of people out kinda late, my son and I were out in about 20 minutes.. The second was for MW2 there was a long line but there were people giving away drinks and the National Guard was there and they had give-aways from Best Buy. My son and I had a lot of fun, though the line meant we didn't get as much playtime in once we got home (midnight releases on school nights suck!). We're going to a different Best Buy for this one. I don't think they've done a midnight launch at this store before, so it will be interesting to see how it shapes up. Of course this time I have our copies pre-ordered so I may get out more quickly.

Meh I'm going with amazon release date delivery on this one. 
 
Getting too old for this shit

If i didn't have to work at 5am tuesday morning i would totally go but i have to get sleep i am not a young kid anymore my body needs it and i could use a sick day but those are going towards my upcoming vacation :)
 
But i will be thinking about reach the entire time working.. drooling and sobbing.

I'm going to the midnight launch at Times Square in New York City. I think it might be a bit busy...

I'm going down there at about 12:30 - 1:00, after any line is gone. Plus I'm in Australia, so I'll still be getting it just a little earlier than a lot of other people elsewhere in the world!

I went to the midnight launch of Halo 2 and it was a bust in my small-ish town.  I wish stores in my area had a reason to have some sort of event.  Since Halo 2 I've always just picked up my games in the morning or pre-ordered if I felt it would be a big release.  This time I ordered from Amazon with free release day shipping.  It still hasn't shipped yet, though, and it's been a few days.  They're cutting it close.

I'm showing up early for the free pizza and soda!

Dont go to EB games. Hit an electronics store.

I'm heading over to gamestop around 9. CANT WAIT

Off to gamestation at 11:00 :) always nice to be first
