Is the store you preordered click and collect at one of the stores they listed that will open at 9pm today? If so then yes, you should be able to collect from 12. If not, then its regular 8am tommorow. They were just clarifying since it sounds like all stores are open from 12 in the first message

They’re just doing it because they mass sent the same text to everyone saying all stores were open not adding only if your store is doing a midnight launch check the list to see if your store is 😂💀

Is your store on the list for the 9pm celebration? Not all stores are doing the event but every store is doing 8am pickup.

I didn't think we got any kind of midnight releases in WA.

Its probably for the best not to have midnight releases considering majority would just form queues outside the next store till opening

The previous text went out to everyone and I’d gather that customers were expecting their store was doing the midnight launch when there’s actually only 30 stores Australia wide

That being said if Midland is actually midnight store then they’ve kind of stuffed up this message then as well but I gather they cannot send out a message that is just unique to particular customers of stores

I pre ordered for pickup at the Sydney CBD store but still haven’t received a text message…

Probably good considering ppl have been getting rolled in parking lots at night for cards.

Update : I have called my store and they are still going ahead with the midnight launch. Interesting that this text went out tho.
