No, but sadly, I didn't pre-order the game because my mom doesn't want to spend $60.00 on a game. Have to wait until christmas for the game. :(

I too got the call and thought it was extreamly nice of them to alert everyone that preordered that they were doing this.. In Nebraska myself so maybe all Gamestops that hit a certain order rate did this..... Be sure to thank em when you pick up your game heh.

I didn't get a phone call, but I did get a text message. Here's the transcript:

GameStop:Your Fallout New Vegas avail 12:01AM Tue. Arrive 10pm Mon to finalize payment. 25% bonus on trades. Store# XXX-XXX-XXXX. End txt msgs reply STOP


When they say come in at 10, it seems to me that they mean you can pay for it and get your receipt to show them at midnight and just be handed the game instead of having to actually pay for the game at midnight and save yourself the 2 minutes so you can get home and wait for 3 hours until steam unlocks it.

To clairify.....

at 10PM you can pay for you game

BUT

You cannot leave the store with it until 12 midnight.


They do it that way so you can process your payment before midnight and leave right away.

You can go pay for it at 10 and then wait until midnight to leave with it.

I'm hoping I can just go at 11:50 and wait 10 minutes to pay and get the game rather than being forced to sit there for 2 hours. Either way, thanks to Steam, I have to wait till 3 to play it. I'll probably just end up going Tuesday morning instead.

I got a text. Kinda weird, but FREAKING AWESOME nevertheless. Waiting tomorrow will be worse than waiting the entire year for this game....

It'll be my true test.

It's probably more along the lines of you paying at 10, getting a receipt and then going about your business elsewhere until midnight. Then you come back, show the receipt and get your game. EDIT: I just saw that you said you paid in full already. If that's the case and if what I'm saying is true, you should be able to show them your receipt if you have it or give them the phone number attached to your account so they can check if you don't have it.

I'm going to call tomorrow for an answer and if this is the case, I might just catch a movie at the nearby theater if there's one I'm interested in with a compatible time frame.

Your best bet would be to call your retailer and get a definite answer as everything we're saying is conjecture.
