Re: GameStop NOT having Midnight Release!
I know for sure my neighborhood Gamestop is having one. So. Cal. The manager there just got promoted, so he's going all out! He's building an MK9 shrine(so far it looks pretty awesome)and anyone who pre-ordered it is welcome to join the MK9 live tournament, which begins at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, April 18th! The live matches will take place right in the store of course. It will be played on a 42 inch flat screen tv at 1080p hosted by the PS3! Rules are there are no sudden deaths, you will get 2 chances, on the 3rd strike you're out. The 1st place prize winner will receive an official MK9 strategy guide(no, not the limited edition version-but that would be even cooler if they did!), if you already have the limited edition guide pre-ordered, then he said that they will knock off the cost of the regular guide to go towards your purchase. 2nd place will be store credit.(don't know exactly how much) And I don't know what you get for coming in 3rd. Possibly a swift kick in the ass right out the front door!LOL!
Depending on how many pre-orderers sign up, will determine how long the MK9 tournament will last. If it ends before 12 midnight the manager said that we will still be able to keep playing, but just for leisure of course.
I love my neighborhood Gamestop! I'm soo glad I took the night off work from my job for this, I can't wait!!
