Just received a phone call from my excited house mate informing me that he'd just been into our local ASDA (Supermarket in the UK, Liverpool in my case) and asked AGAIN about a possible midnight release to which we had always previously been told was not going to happen. However, he was told today that the sheer volume of nerds has become too difficult to ignore and that tonight Skyrim will be released at midnight from the Tobacco counter. This was amazing news until I realised I still have 12 hours to wait! (GMT) Has anyone else had similar experiences? Midnight releases seem to be thin on the ground, only official ones I've seen are in Flagship stores in London and Birmingham. Who's picking it up at midnight?

omg i never thought of Asda and Tesco!!! there are 2 huge 24 hour stores 10 miniutes away from me! also my local game and game station are not doing midnight release and they have maxed out there quota of pre-orders of collectors edition and a large chunk of the stranded copies for all platforms. Birmingham btw.

My local GameStops are pretty cool, they always do Mid-night releases for all high-rate games. So nah, I'll be going in tonight if possible. Although sad part. I don't know if I can make it. I got a few special customers today that I haft to do a good 3+ hours Tattoo on, so.. I may be doing over time. But after today, I'v scheduled the next week off!
