Yes! I believe you! My Gamestop always seems to get things early and they have all the DS Download Stuff and demos. This rocks, they'll definetly have it. Perhaps I'll spend all day there playing it...>___>

Some malls stores won't have midnight launches due to the high costs of after-close security.

And no tazing will be needed, i'm telling the truth. But don't misread what I said.

My manager has told me we could get in Brawl demos as early as next week.

COULD. AS EARLY.

Those are two things which must be taken into consideration. We could get them in next week, we could next month, or even a few days before release. But demos will come, for sure.

Better be happening in Virginia.

Actually @ AnusNinja, my gamestop (It's an outlet) said that i have to come there to get it and I cannot go to the one in the mall.

Seriously? How does it work? I have my recipt and kept it in a save spot until the game comes out so i could show proof that i pre-ordered the game.
You don't even need the receipt for preorders. Your name is in the system of the store you went to.

If you want to change where you pick it up, go to your store and let them know you want to do so. They'll be able to do it.

If you preordered it there, yes. Like I said earlier though, you can transfer preorders, you just have to talk to where you originally preordered from.

@ Blu-ninja: Displays.

@RiSHi: Adding "san" to Ike's name won't help the demos come faster.

I've been wondering for a while when the brawl demo would come out. for a few weeks now, the local gamestop has had a plain case of melee as a cop-out for not having it, smash is pretty popular here. none the less, I hope this is true, so I can finally see how this game is :D

The only midnight launches I have at my gamestop was the one for world of warcraft, which is stupid because brawl will obviously be much better than any WoW game could hope to be.

Any way, I sure do hope you right!

Did you even read the entire thread?... He presented proof that he works for Gamestop. Why do people refuse to read entire threads? Especially when they're only 6 pages long...

EB Games is Gamestop. So is Babbages. So is Rhino Games.

If any of those get it, don't be surprised.

...All of the EB Games stores around me changed to Gamestop a while back. I hope the demo thing is true, even if it's a crappy demo, I'll take anything I can get right now!

I hope this is true.

My only worry is that perhaps your GS manager was told you guys were getting it, then Nintendo changes its mind.

Somehow that wouldn't surprise me.
