The reason Gamestop has everyone come in before midnight is so that you can pay off your game and be prepared to just grab your copy and go at 12:00. Even if you've paid in full, you still have to be rung out again -- this tells our computer system that you will be walking out with your game at midnight and we can keep our inventory straight. If we didn't ring you out, we'd have no idea how many people picked up their games or who in particular still has yet to.
Midnight releases svck when we have to work one for a game that just draws a rude/drunk/'bro' kind of crowd, but games like Fallout with a great fanbase usually turn out to be lots of fun. I'm going to try to do a trivia game with prizes, and I'll bring cookies for everyone.
Please be courteous to your associate and get in before midnight -- we want to go home and play our copy of Fallout too!!
