Unfortunately for me, I had my copy of the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Prestige edition reserved at a GameCrazy that is closing in October.

All the GameStops are sold out of the pre-orders for Prestige Editions in my entire city.  I am now considering my options.  There really isn't any other location I can think of in my city that would be able to guarantee I could get it at midnight or even guarantee that they would have enough Prestige Editions for all who pre-ordered it.  I have Blockbuster and Best Buy as my best bets now, but after calling Best Buy it sounds like they won't have a midnight launch.  I really don't HAVE to get it at midnight, but at the very least I want to be guaranteed that I can get a Prestige Edition on launch day.

So what should I do?  I also have the last resort of Wal-Mart but they rarely have things available at midnight and even when they do, they will probably only have like 1 or 2 copies of the prestige edition....

If I pre-order online via Amazon, would I get it a day early (11/09/09) or the day of at least?  The only thing is I don't want to pay extra just to have it shipped....

What do you guys think?  I really don't want any other version because I'm a videogame item collector whore and really love my CoD (Halo 3 ODST LE, Fable 2 LE, Gears 1 and 2 LE, Halo 3 Legendary Edition, etc.).  Should I try Blockbuster or just hope I can nab one at Walmart?

If you're in the continental US, GameStop.com guarantees street-date delivery if you choose overnight shipping. And if you trade in two games from this http://www.gamestop.com/trade2cod>">list, you get $40 toward MW2.

And of course, preordering from GameStop entitles you to enter Surprize Attack. The contest's only going til Tuesday 11/10, but that's 4 days to get awesome TF-141 gear! I'm working on this promotion, so let me know if you have any questions.

You can enter twice a day at 11:10:09 (Hmmm... those numbers look awful familiar... )
