I just got a call from some Gamestop chick (who sounded hung-over). I was invited to come to a midnight release party on Monday at 11:00 PM. Anyone else get this call, and feel all excited?

i got the call too, pretty sure it was a recording. I think anyone who reserved it at GS got it.
yeah..I got the call. my mate and I are going to the party. However, my copy is reserved at a different location >.<
Ahh, i posted a topic about this myself without reading this thread.
I do plan on attending with a friend of mine. Not sure what the "party" entails....any ideas?
Is it possible to get the game at like local bestbuy without reserving it?? because im worried it might be sold out on Tuesday
What city is this in?
Yep. I'm going to show up (not so) fashionably late at midnight to collect the game and roast tire back to the PS2.Quote:

Eep...lol.

The Aeris call of love is GS/EB only. I think some strange nameless gentleman calls from EB though.
I look forward to being obnoxious and trolling around at GameStop with my former customer base. Some form of riot might break out. And I'm stealing the cardboard cutout.
my local eb games is in Roseville, Michigan. and there is a party for FF XII pre order people at 11:00 P.M too.. soo yeah its gonna be sweet and im going. soo yeah 16 hours and counting from the time i post this message.. but the wait will be worth it
My GameStop isn't doing anything. I just called and he said, "Nope. Tomorrow at 10 AM."
Wow... I figured that of all places where I live would definitely be a place not doing a midnight release. When they told me they were I figured every GameStop was if mine was. Where are you?Quote:

I received no call, but about ten minutes ago I called to confirm that it'd actually be there tomorrow and I was informed of the party. As intriguing as it sounds, I'll pass.
My dad said I was told yesterday (his number = my old number) to come pick it up. I'm going at midnight tonight and just running off with it.Quote:

~12:30 [NEXT DAY] Go to school.
So...Everyone who went to the release party thing, what was it like?
Was it like, an actual party, or did you just go and pick up your copy of FFXII?
Man, Final Fantasy is so overrated, it's not even funny.
Hah. hah.
Heres my story about the "party"
we called earlier yesterday (monday) to see about this "party" and what it entailed. They said "yeah theres some party...some competition thing at 11pm, then the game goes on sale at midnight". So we said, eh, what the hell, lets see what this nerdfest is all about.
About 9pm or so I head over to my buddys apartment to hang out/drink some beers. About 11:15 or so we head over to the Gamestop which is literally around the corner. The gates are down over the windows and there are just the two managers inside who told us to come back at midnight. They had NO idea about the party and sort of laughed at the idea.
It was weird. But, we got our FFXII collectors edition at midnight!
I played Guitar Hero with a few people there whom I knew from my stint of employment. And then just yelled at another former-co worker to hurry up and buy his damn gamn because he was in front of me in line.
