Does anyone know if gamestop, or any other stores for that matter, will be doing midnight release for brink? I also wonder about play and trade cause they sometimes do that too...

I don't know, sorry.

On a related note, has anyone heard anything about preloading digital copies? Thanks.

Honestly, I don't think that many people will initially pick it up at first, so no real need to do a huge promo midnight launch event.
Its like when I pre-ordered Guild Wars: Nightfall and it came in a week early.

Yeah i was thinking the same thing. but hey, one can hope right?

Well I know I won't be getting a midnight opening where I pre-ordered. Can't be sure nobody will, but I know I won't.

Depends on the store really. You should call your Gamestop, or wherever you pre-ordered from and ask them.

This.

I am expecting it, but this has not been announced yet.
