Has anyone ever done this?
I'm thinking of going asda or tesco at midnight to buy cod when its released.

Is it usually busy with massive queues or not really because people aren't that sad?

someone at my work went to asda at 12am to get the last COD and he said surprisingly there was a few people doing the same.

don't do it.

Use shopto and get it the day before. I went at midnight for FIFA and the que was 200 people deep at least.

I'm tempted to do it again, but last time I did, I found out Macro were selling them for about £20 and had them in stock on the day of release

where you thinking of going Haimsey?
Ilson Tesco is not usally bad for things like this probably 35-40 people will be there, but spondon asda is a total nightmare! Hundreds of people there on big releases.

Probs spondon asda as its closest to me, but thought about tesco as its massive.
I was going to pre-order it but I ordered my mum the new proff layton game and it came the day AFTER release. Pretty shite if I'm honest.
Plus I'm off the day after

I thought you meant going in for a game of hide and seek.
I've had many a game of hide and seek in a supermarket while drunk.

I think the only game i'll get at midnight would be GT5.

She offered to have my babies..

If she was a career girl I would have a long time ago but she lives in Daddies pocket and I'm not prepared to become a replacement pocket.

I did that for cod4. Thought I was clever as fuck til I got there and saw the crowds. Security guy told me there were 150 people last time he counted. All geeky looking freaks. It was like comic-con.

Hmm, I dunno whether to go or not.

Could buy 2 and sell it to a geek at the back of the queue for 5 quid more

A mate works at sainsburys and said they're allowed to put their names on a copy ready for midnight so they don't have to queue

wonder if he can do 2 copies.
