Im pretty much in the same boat cuz i had to preorder HE from amazon that ill get some time tuesday. I preordered the regular edition at gamestop too and selling it to one of my less CoD nerdy friends when i get my HE later tuesday for $50. I loss ten bucks but its better than waiting.

i asked one of the walmart employees about this long time ago. they said they werent doing midnight even though they are open 24/7. but you can still get the game at midnight if you talk to their supervisor. just ask nicely and most likely they will bring one from the back and sell you one. i have no expereince from this. its just what the employee told me.

Worst case scenario, I go to the mid night launch at wal mart, leave with nothing in my hands(man would that SUCK), I get the HE at Best Buy but can't play until I get home from school that day.. :/

I think what I'll do is call the wal mart and ask how many people are there every hour. Just to make sure I'm one of the first, but not there too early.

People are crazy. Its the biggest release of the year. If you want to be first in line you have to get there early especially if you want to get there before the hardcore fanboys. I know I'm getting to my Gamestop really early.

Also, I talked to a guy at wal mart, and he said they always get extra games for people who didn't pre order. So I wanted your guys' opinions on whether or not you think I could get a HE.

Well, I have school, so I want to play it from when I get back from the launch until I have to go to school. I don't want to wait till 3 pm to play.

I highly doubt that they would have any HE left. Also, couldn't you just wait to go in the morning?

I highly doubt you can just walk in and get a Hardened Edition. More like 6pm if you're lucky.

Midnight Launch Question

So here's my situation. I have the HE pre ordered at my Best Buy, but they aren't doing a mid night launch. So I am going to show up to the Wal Mart mid night launch, hoping to get a HE (with no pre order, they won't let you anymore.) If I do, I'll just cancel my Best Buy pre order. So can I still get HE at mid night at wal mart even though I didn't pre order it?

What do you guys think?

Also, 9PM should be early enough so I'm in the front of the line, right?
