GTAV Midnight Launch

SkidMarkKing · 16 Sep 2013 at 21:54

Anyone around Wrexham area know if Asda/Tesco's will be doing midnight launch for GTA V?

I ordered it from Amazon but they didn't dispatch it and said they could be sold out so I cancelled it.

They are both 24 hour stores but does this mean the game will be available from midnight?

There is a "Game" there too but ide imagine the ques will be huge there.

Thanks

The last time I went to the Tesco Extra and Asda near by it in Wrexham to try and get a copy of GTA IV when that was released and neither had them on the self and refused to get me a copy, I was told to come back at around 7am. Best of ringing up, as quick as you can, customer service desks probably close at 10, save you the journey I suppose.

Mold might do, it's 24 hours so might be worth ringing / checking out.

Ahh that sucks.

I did try before but couldn't get through. I think my mate got Fifa 13 from the Tesco's in Wrexham at midnigh (release day).

The Tesco should be doing it mate. I am just about to head out to the Tesco in Portsmouth to get my copy. Apparently they have 150 of each, so should be safe.

MY local Tesco said they had 800 copies of each platform in.

There was people waiting for it when I was there at 10pm.

Do we have about 65 GTA threads now? What's wrong with the main thread?

I work at an Asda and I've been told they are selling as of midnight. They have 750 copies per platform so Iwill be astounded if there is 1500 people in the queue and it sells out.

I'm going to bed. Will listen for the letter box flapping in the morning. Enjoy your public humiliation.

Stuck in a huge queue in Tesco, Chichester, West Sussex. Shot in whilst driving home as it was the only one on my route. Didn't think the queue would be THIS big!!!

Got it. A smaller tesco store with about 20 people in it.

A little annoyed. I want to play it till 1am (12:30 now) and it wants to install 8GB to the HDD

A. It has been know for months it would require an 8GB install.

B. Half an hour of GTA V is utter fail. Put some coffee on and play like a real man!

My mate bought his from there at midnight too without any queue. I was at asda eastlands stuck behind 200 people meanwhile :/.

The game is absolutely epic though.

Picked up mine from Tesco around midnight. Huge queue but went down quickly.
