FS NOT having GOW2 Midnight Launch? Confusion

[mrtvgame]

Apparently they are not having a midnight launch. According to their web-based flyer it has a correction notice indicating that the midnight time is an error and they will be opened on the 7th at 8a.m. instead.

I called the customer service hotline and they confirmed the change, even though their main marketing page for the game still has midnight.

All I can say is WTF!?

This thread had an employee show some flyer for the midnight launch:

So anyone in the know could perhaps enlighten us and Future Shop.

Is it because BB is doing the midnight thing?

Wrong section i guess.....

Not really, there are supposedly deals for the midnight launch. If there is no event then can we guess no sale?

Poor organizing skills on the part of the parent company that owns both FS and BB.

The flyer that came yesterday lists the midnight launch... weird that they would pull the plug...

I know! That's what I am saying. Hope to have a FS employee sort this out for us. Will also pop by my local FS and see what they are doing (even if they know!) lol

*Except Subdbury and Quebec which opens at 8 am.

My guess is you are from Sudbarry or Quebec.

This is whats on first page of flyer online:

CORRECTION NOTICE
Gears of War 2 Early Opening
WebID:10111006
Pages 1 and 2 of the October 31 flyer incorrectly states "Midnight Opening for Gears of War 2" when it should be "8am Nov 7th Opening for Gears of War 2". Please be advised that we will open at 8am on November 7.

Thanks for clarification. Too bad their webpages are still plastered with teh midnight openings and others have reported that when they checked in with their local FS, they were told it's still on. Talk about disorganized!

I think it's just a mix up. It only states Sudbury Ontario, when Quebec will be opening at 8am as well on Thursday.

Midnight release should still be on.
