"I was on the Best Buy Canada website today and came across their Gears of War 2 page that is advertising all Best Buy stores across Canada (Quebec excluded) will be open at midnight for the launch of the game."

don't you have 24hr supermarkets or stores in America/Canada?

In the uk you can get games at midnight in most places.
If you get it from tesco's or asda it's cheaper than from game or gamestation.

Resistance 2 coming out the same day in the US ?

so like its opening for both of them? lol

its not fair that U.S get it like 4th of Nov and us Europeans wait until the 28TH !!!

Resistance and gears were coming out with a 4 day difference? Not sure but that was the release difference a week or so back.

[SL1M DADDY]

According to Gamefly, Gears of War comes out the 7th and Resistance 2 comes out on the 4th. At least in North America. Did the developers change the date again?

the kids won't be allowed to go outside at midnight.
try midday.

I see this has been turned into a resistance thread but the story is about Gears so The kids won't be able to buy r2 at midnight but the adults will buy GoW2.

[shutupandplay]

This youngster agrees with you.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

hahaha that video is funny shutupandplay. Actually, I think that is one of the more mature PSN'ers. That kid should be in pampers not asking about M rated games.

[BigKev45]

Well, Duh.

It's actually not that common in Canada for stores to open up at midnight. The only games this year that this happen for was GTA IV and Metal Gear Solid 4. Usually when there is a midnight launch it's a huge event.

The launch of Gears of War 2 is a huge event ...

[moparful99]

Hmm its funny.. little big planet recieved more media coverage and buzz from the industry then gears 2... Sackboy trumps marcus fenix anyday...

Best Buy knows what console pwns! Why else would they have a midnight opening for GOW2 baby?

PS3 Fans dream of the day when they get a midnight opening... hey we should give them a 12:00 pm opening for Resistance. All 3 of you can pick it up.

[livespawn]
