A few days ago i went to gamestop to reserve brawl and asked if they were having a midnight release. They said no and that they wont get it on Febuary 10th because it will be shipped on Febuary 10th. Is this true fore all places? If i preorderd it would it it on the first day? Does anyone know any stores that will have it on the first day in the suburbs of chicago? help!

The suburbs is a very vague description. Are you in the Northern Chicago area at all?

Shipping date and release date is not the same, if the shipping date is Feb 10th, then you will probably not get Brawl until Feb 12-14.

Your Gamestop is either lying to you or the guy didn't check his dates. I work at an EB Games, and for the entire chain Brawl is streetdated, not shipdated for February 10th. All stores are getting it before February 10th, barring some bizzare anomaly.

Yeah me too, you'd think that if Guitar Hero 3 got a midnight release then Brawl should get one too..
Guitar Hero apeals to people who aren't real gamers aswell as gamers, so its natural it would get a lot of pre-orders.

Son't get me wrong, Brawl will appel to people who aren't real gamers too, but not on as large as a scale as Guitar Hero.

Brawl is street dated, not ship dated. And my GameStop already said they were doing a midnight release. Your gamestop = fail.

I work at Gamestop and I know it all depends on how many reserves we get. The more reserves we get, the more extra copies and the better chance we receive our shipment early so it can be sold on the release date. Like for Mass Effect we got our shipment a week early. Midnight launches depend on the popularity of the game and usually doesn't happen. Halo 3 got a midnight launch because it's so popular and because we got like over 200 reserves for it. And considering it's another 10 mins to the next Gamestop that's a frickin lot.

Considering it's a pretty popular game for the Wii and Gamestop's been advertising it (you get a bonus if you trade in games and put credit toward a reserve for Brawl and recently the cover of our release binder is of Brawl and only Brawl), I'd guess we'll get our shipment early so we can sell it at launch. If not then it'll come in the next day as soon as we get our shipment. For my store that's anywhere between 11-1 in the afternoon.

Hope that helps. ^_^

What suburb are you in?

The suburbs is a very vague description. Are you in the Northern Chicago area at all?
