MH3U Midnight release!!!!

On March 19th most GameStop locations across the US will be open at midnight for the launch of the new Gears of War game... I say screw that! Let's take over their midnight launch!!!!

Everyone who preordered from GS or who is planning on buying from GS show up at midnight to pick up you copy of MH3U! Talk about MH, talk about the series and your experiences. Even if you are a gears fan take this one night out to promote MH with all your heart. Be the first people in line, have more there for MH then gears! When the sales and the websites talk about the launch the next morning have them talking about how all the MH fans showed up for their copies of MH3U and outnumbered those to pick up gears of war!!!!

Join me in this effort even if you are not getting your copy from GS show up and talk about the game! Ask an employee about it! Hold up a sign. Well... You get the point.

i will be there early as hell with my 3ds and psp with a buddy. hopefully a fellow hunter will see us and play..and a fourth!

Edit: Also I really wish MH3U was sponsored more.. when Tri came out Gamestop had a few posters out for tri, I don't see one now

Update:

I have been informed that several places in the EU area will likely be doing a midnight launch on the 22nd of March as well.. So those in the EU that can joing in as well!

As much as I'd love to... I won't be able to make it. It's on a Tuesday so...

I could probably do this, but since we don't have gamestops in Canada... Local store might still be open at midnight, but I doubt it.

Ehh do your best if you can.. Don't you have EBgames? it's the same store.

Edit: Capcom Uity members have agreed to get in on this as well and it's been suggested that those who are not getting the game from GS or picking it up on that day that have a copy of MHFU or any other PSP version with LOcal play show up as well to play together.

So If you can Show up at the Midnight Launch just to play any MH game ya got!!!

of course ill try to show up at GS at my location. Ill have to call them ot confirm first to see if its open at mid-night otherwise ill be wasting meh sleep......

Really? Never knew that actually. Yes, I even pre-ordered it at the EB games up here so the only question is if they're doing it or not. They might not, since they're set up in our local mall and that closes at around 9pm. I'll have to see if they are doing it or not, but this is a small city I live in so it's rather unlikely even with GoW coming. Staying up past midnight is normal for me anyways.

They may stay open for a midnight release for Gears, you could ask if you could pick up MH the same night. I have a gamestop in my city thats in a mall, the store will stay open for the midnight too. Try asking, won't hurt.

If it's not on the e-shop at midnight I will get it from the gamestop midnight release.

Worth a try, I'll have to see what they're doing for it then. Not sure I'd be able to sleep that night after I get the game though.

i hope to pick up my game at the midnight release, but i work will 15 mins after midnight. will just hope they stay open late enough for me to make it there after work.

My wife, best friend, and I have taken that Tuesday - Friday off to hunt! Sleepless nights, here we come!

Muahah i took off that tuesday through friday off as wel!!

I'm off Tuesday and Wed. for other reasons.. but hey might as well use them for hunting and staying up to get MH at midnight!!!



Also Keep in mind:

Pre-orders are $5 dollars and can be cancled even after the game is recieved in the store. The stores however may not recieve more than the amount of copies pre-ordered.

So just a suggestion but you may want to go ahead and pre-order the copy for $5 and if you end up getting it through download or a different store at midnight or is anything else comes up just cancle your pre-order and get your $5 back.. no loss. But if you don't pre-order it they may not have a copy available for you.. Also lot's of pre-orders always help even if they are cancled it's just that many more MH3U's on the shelves for people to see and possible get!

My local Gamestop has a small "coming soon" poster of MH3U at the counter :3
Everybody who gets a game will no doubt glance at the poster.

Most Gamestops will require you to pay the game off before Midnight comes. So if you do put $5 down make sure you check if you need to pay it off before they close on Monday the 18th.
