Go to a small, non mainstream store in doncaster & buy it a few days before 
Thats what i did with COD4, the fella always sells stuff early

Thats what happens when you break release and breach the rules of competition and fair trading.
Id say 24hr supermarket is best bet

Pre-order it online. Occaisionally get the stuff through a couple of days early when I've done it before.
I've pre-ordered it online from Game as you get double reward points and I get cashback for it

Who is sad enough to wait outside a shop at 12.00 for a game to be released!!
Makes me chuckle! Im eagerly awaiting the game too but ive got better things to do with my time than stand outside in the cold at 12.00!!

Thousands of people do it.
I did it. Fuck it, why not? My GAME is 3 miles from my house and I wait in the car outside beforehand. I'd be awake then anyway so why not go pick up a copy?

I might make a point of going into a shop on my way home from work that day to buy it, if I remember.

I've always pre-ordered from gamplay.co.uk. They send pre-orders out a day or two early!
