Actually, they merged into one company a while back. I know... it's dumb. God-****ed Capitalism destroyin' everything I create! ... *ahem* :laugh:

But, yeah. I'm going to be at GS early with my Wii, some controllers, a TV, and a copy of Melee. I'm planning on playing people up until the tourney starts. ^_^

Thats not always the case with reserves. Sometime gaming stores screw up or do something ignorant and by some fluke, those who reserved still don't get a copy. I would know. Lol. As a reserver, I'd want to get my copy as quick as possible or have another one resevred to avoid these kinds of problems, because you never know when they'll arrive.

Whenever. Since I already payed for it then there's no legal reason for them not to give it to me as long as I show up in 48 hours.

For me, I was thinking about reserving at a mall Gamestop, but I knew I'd have better chance avoiding a larger crowd if I use the Gamestop near my home no one knows about. If the one some 4 -5 minutes drive from my home had to cut pre-orders off, imagine how it is at the mall of Louisiana were you sometimes have to drive around 5-10 minutes for a decent parking space.

I think you don't have to much to worry about, you're more likely to get a copy reserving one than not obtaining one with a reserve. You just have to be wary of those instances sometimes where they don't supply, especially if your particular store is located in a heavily populated area. And like has been stated, those who'll wake up for midnight are probably less than those who'll come to retrieve it during the day,especially with folks needing to prepare for Church 3-5 hours later, and the parents of those in the younger age group forbidding them to attend the midnight release. I plan to go around 6-8 am as well. =)

Why does it feel like everyone lives near a Gamestop? They're one of the few stores I hear about constantly. I live near stores like Wal-Mart and EB Games.
Yeah, me too. I'm just going to go when EB Games phones me to let me know it's in.

So I thought i was goin 2 get brawl fer sure on the 9th seeing how a gamestop just opened up 5 min away from me that no1 knows about, and there being another one 15 min away doing a midnight launch. And then there was a buttload of stores all having brawl...But looks like i might have to wait a bit -.-, cuz my parents want to file taxes that day. -.-

Ok, since I can't go to my Gamestop at midnight because it's in a mall and the mall would be closed at midnight, and the Gamestop opens at 11 AM, it depends if i'm walking or getting a ride. We don't have our car so we're borrowing someone's truck, and my mom doesn't like to drive the truck. My dad is the one who is willing to drive the truck, and he works night shift. I'd be lucky to get him awake by 3 PM. I'm considering getting a ride from my best friend's parents, which in this case I'd try to get him to take me by 10:45 ish, since my Gamestop is about one and a half miles from my house. (He's looking forward to Brawl almost as much as I am even though he doesn't have a Wii and plans to play it at my house, no problems here.) Second alternative, I walk. (Yes I want Brawl so bad that I would walk a mile and a half.) If I have to walk, I'd leave maybe 10:20 ish.

Seeing as there is no midnight release event OR tournament at my Gamestop (the one of the two in Keene that doesn't...) I'll be leaving my dorm about 9:30 am or 10 am to get to my store for opening at 11 am, when they have promised me the games will be on the shelves.

Well, I don't live in a very densly populated area, but unfortunately, my local Gamestop is right on the highway by a Target. And if that's not a massive bull's eye, I don't know what is. I don't know if a tournament will be held, but I'll be there about 11-11:30 to pick up brawl at midnight.

Reservations are pointless...

Well, that is, unless you're a Gamestop/EB patron. *cough*buncha******cough*
There's a play-n-trade about two minutes from my house, they'll have Brawl, so there's no need for pre-orders.

Good thing my last pastor stole money from a bank and from the church itself, because thats the only reason my parents don't force me attend Church anymore, fortunately. Cruising the streets when everyone else is at Church (including my parents) is a wonderful thing.

In any case, I think you will get the game, I mean a reserved copy is supposed to mean you're guaranteed a copy. I think you're pondering to much on the worst case scenario instead of the good, more probable scenario..
wow what a horrible pastor...

but uh, im just going to gamestop at like 8 sunday morning. with luck.

I live in a small town that for some reason has a super walmart in it...so I didn't actually pre-order. I'm pretty confident I can get a copy at my leisure.

On another note, the game is almost here and I am flipping out.

I'm going to be playing Brawl at my Gamestop all day on the eigth to get ready for the tournament. I get a free copy of Brawl when I win it, so I don't have to worry about anything.


"When you win it"? Someone's confident. >__> To answer the question, though, I will be showing up at 9pm. I need to call my local GS again tomorrow to see how many preorders they have, and how many they're expecting. I'll divide the amount of preorders they claim to have in half to get the exact amount.
