IceCold: I don't recall anyone doing midnight launches here, but I imagine you might find a store somewhere that would do it... I wouldn't be surprised if the decision can be made store-by-store.

I don't think I've been to a midnight launch or midnight showing or midnight anything before.

Sounds like it could be fun, maybe I should do at least one in my life, but to me it seems more worth it to get a good night's sleep, then get it first thing in the morning.  Perceived time would still be the same (unless I can't sleep from excitement), so to me it's not any sooner, and whatever it is I'd be getting I could use all day without being concerned that I should probably get some sleep.

Though I guess it depends on if the point of camping out for a midnight release is just to get it ASAP, or if it's to bask in the excitement of its release with other fans and make new friends with a similar interest.

I don't understand why the "midnight releases" or "midnight showings" I've seen are at 12:01.  If you're surrounded by rabid fans who obviously don't want to wait, why not open at 12:00?  When midnight hits, it's already the next day...

Hopefully I can waltz right into Wal-Mart at 8AM and grab one problem-free like I did with the Cube on it's launch day. But otherwise no, I won't be camping out.

Preorder and then have trouble sleeping the eve of the release.

Talking about preorders, it The Magic Box is reporting that Japanese stores are already taking pre-orders, most of them are expecting a 1800 yen or $160 US price point.

Anyone know of any UK outlets taking preorders yet? Or any reliable importers?
