So in about a half an hour, I will be at a Gamestop with two of my dad's friends on 7th Ave. in Brooklyn, NY. The occasion? To attend a game launch, my first one at that. Game of the occasion? Madden NFL 10. Yeah, I sucummbed to the Madden hype, but I've never been so excited about any year's Madden more than this one. The demo was great, and I can't wait to get my hands on the full release. Even with rainy weather this should be a fun night. Hopefully I can twitter some of what's going on and stuff. I'll be sure to take pictures. I've been waiting to do one of these for the longest. Should be a blast. 
  
To get a discussion going, what game/system launches have any of you attended? What was the experience like?

I've always wanted to go to one.  But first I must find a game worthy of my presence :P

I'm not a fan of football, but the game looks very polished this year.  I hope you enjoy your launch and the game man.

Never been to one myself, I just don't have the motivation. Hope you have fun though, man.

I have drunkenly stumbled upon a couple by accident. This happened for the Super Mario Galaxy and GTA IV launches.

Cool man! The only game launch I've been to was for Guitar Hero World Tour and it wasn't even for my copy. I was with my friends and my band kit came in the mail the next day. The next one I will be attending is the Modern Warfare 2 one in November.
