I am saddened...

Btw, two questions:

1. Which games recently have had midnight launches?

2. How many pre-orders does a store have to get to do a midnight?

@ Underline: Its Sony's job to advertise the game, Gamestop can do as it sees fit.

Recently...

Gears of War 2
Fable 2
WoW: Wrath of the Lich king

hmm I dunno what to make of this

did MGS4 have midnight launches at gamespot??

MGS4 did have a midnight launch.

Other games I know had launches at my gamestop were:

Halo 3
GTA IV
Gears 2
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

If you were wanting it at midnight I would maybe check Gamecrazy or Play-n-trade if you have those nearby. I know some of their stores did a midnight launch for Resistance 2 which is probably a smaller deal than KZ2 will be.

My gamestop has had lots of KZ advertising up as well. On the outside it has two big posters up. One KZ and the other SF4.

All of the Killzone 2 demos were sold out at the Gamestop I shop at. I never really thought this game would have a midnight launch, so I don't really know what to make of this news.

how can a demo be sold out?

If you ordered in-store, the store gave you a card with your demo card. Each store only got a certain number of cards. You could still preorder at the store, but you wouldn't get the demo. I pre-ordered online with an in-store pickup so they emailed me a card.

Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Killzone2 hype = a hoax?

After all the bigs hopes (LBP, Haze, MGS4, Resistance2, Socom, Killzone2) to turn the tide around...

What will be the PS3's next savior?
