Hoping midnight, or the day before, but I preordered, so probably midday the 11th.

A lot of the midnighters that I've gone to have passed out free energy drinks, so you can slam that before school lol. I usually go the other way and drink a 6 pack in the parking lot before they start giving out the game
Hhaha that'll be nice to have XD although im going to a gamestop so im not sure what they do. But skyrim is damn well worth a all nighter.
How early do you guys show up to these? It's going to be freezing here, so hopefully I won't need to show up too early..

Ive been to a lot of midnight releases, the store I usually get them from has a place to pick it up if you preordered it though that they just hand out to people who preordered it, meaning no linez :D

In the UK and a few other places, dates like that are written as Date/Month/Year. Basically, Elegost is saying they have to wait until Christmas.

Since I've got the biggest mouth on these forums, I wouldn't be surprised if people have heard me say this before. Oh well.

I'm stuck in a tiny Eastern European country. They won't sell the game here but a friend might pick it up in Estonia, provided she can get her hands on a copy.

Hold your thumbs for me! And if you're Estonian, do tell me about the gaming situation there. kkthxbye

I will get it November 11th whenever I decide to roll out of bed. Midnight releases hold no appeal to me.

I guess I'll first get a better computer, and then I'll get Skyrim. I hope it will drop in price after Christmas. But maybe I'll have it earlier, like, on 11.11.11. And I will just put the game on a special spot. :)

People start showing up really early, but I usually go by at around 10:30 or so, they keep the store open until like 11:30 so people can go in and pay off their pre-orders, etc. Then at 11:30 they close the store and the line starts getting deep outside. They start handing out the game at midnight, and the line moves fast cause they tell you have your receipt and your ID ready, and they scan the receipt, hand you the game, and youre out of there.

The Black Ops midnighter line here was probably 200 people deep, and it was still over by like 12:30.

They usually have stuff going on if you show up early, sometimes they put the game up on a tv and let people play for a few mins at a time, pass out food and energy drinks, do raffles for giveaway items (last time someone got upgraded to the collectors edition or whatever), plus people are all standing around talking about the game.

Also, the people are generally really cool, I've been offered beer, cigarettes, other substances (that may or may not be legal depending on where you live). It's a pretty good little party lol.

Even if my copy wasn't being delivered by post, there's no way I would go to a midnight release. While I do think it would be quite enjoyable, the fact of the matter is that the nearest video games shops are in the nearby town, which you REALLY don't want to be there after dark.
