Yeah the last midnight I went to was Reach and it was the same deal, get there at 10. I believe when I went in early, I paid in full and they marked the receipt or something. Then when 12 came, the first 2/3 of the line had already paid in full and that sped things up. I'ts a decent system. But NO, you won't be walking out at 10:05 with your game.
On a side note, I saw a kid that works at my local Gamestop and he told me that for the MW3 midnight, they are gonna have some military guys there handing out dog tags or some shit. I later realized that this is probably a great recruiting tool. I can hear it now, "So you like the M-16 in the game huh, well how would like to shoot the real deal son?" The exact demographic, it's a perfect strategy. I don't know if that's what they are really gonna be doing but I wouldn't be surprised one bit.
I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
