Does anyone know of a midnight release in Calgary? Airdrie would be even better for me.

I was hoping someone would, as I know Gamestops in the USA are doing it, but I haven't seen anything for Canada.

You should phone EB Games in Coventry Hills, they usually do them for all the big games,

I just did a quick call to Country Hills, he said no midnight release and he doubts anyone will. I tried Coventry Hills, and no answer.

How do you solve a problem like Maria?

Easy, tie her to the train tracks!

Happy Red Dead Day!

I have a 2-hour class at 10, followed by a trip to Best Buy to snag the game, then a 4-hour class at 2...

Followed a whole pile of chaos and carnage at the OK Corral!

So the trade 2 to get red dead free wasn't working at bestbuy. The computer would only accept alan wake and they couldn't overide it because if they did it for one person they'd have to do it for everyone . Luckily the games I traded in ended up costing the same as red dead anyway so it worked out. No idea if they'll get it fixed later, even though the ad clearly states it works for the 4 new releases today. Also the war horse bonus from bestbuy is inside the case.

Picked it up from the Gamestop in Chinook today for 360 on my lunchbreak. No warhorse but the special edition comes with an assassin's outfit which causes my dead eye meter to regenerate at double speed.

I'm hoping to get it for the weekend but Amazon.ca says it wont be shipped until Friday. Hopefully, things change and it's shipped out today.

I'm sitting here in class with a copy of Red Dead in my backpack. I did the 2-for-1 trade-in at Best Buy without any problems at all.

Which Best Buy did you go to?

Going to drop by Coventry Hills EB Games this evening after work and see if they have any XBox 360 versions available.
