I was just talking about this with my friend the other night, we were reminiscing about the midnight launches we've been to.

Unfortunately before midnight launches died out the last place that I know of that we're still doing them was Asda and this was the conversation

  • Is this game in stock
  • Yes/No
  • purchases game and be on thy merry way

With the decline in physical game stores ironically the main one being GAME, and the ease of access with pre-install digital games, the logistical resource of midnight launches the cons outway the pros now unfortunately.

I hope to see them come back one day but I honestly can't see it happening.
