Forums - Gaming - COD: MW3 released in the Uk on Tuesday - people already qing since saturday! Is this Crazy?

Outside "GAME" in Oxford Street London, there are two guys that are qing since 4pm on saturday teh 5Th of November to be the first on the midnight opening on tuesday 8th of November.

 

Is this a little bit too much or we MW3 is going to be as limited as the iPad or iPhone?

 

Any idea of WHY people are qing for 4 days?



Switch!!!

Sounds like Activision implanted a mind controlling chip in them. Pointless to wait around outside a store for 3-4 days for a game. Pre-ordering and going the night it is released seems like a smarter option. WOW, I'M THE FIRST in line for the store!!!



Because they probably will not be alone for long. Can be a nice experience I guess to be with fans together.

Anyway I rather think spending 1725$ to play the game a few days early is crazy..

I seriously doubt it, Activision will want all the sales they can get so with make sure that have more than enough supply to meet the demand, especially in the month after release to maximise christmas sales. At this time of year and in the current economy, lack of supply would be commercial suicide.

Rockstar, pay attention. If the GTA V supply runs out as quickly after launch as GTA IV, then your going to have a problem. Get it right!



Fucking insane if I am honest. I'll just go during the week and pick it up at Tesco for 42 pounds - game and 2100 microsoft points, if I miss out, no big deal, got plenty of other games and now Kinect to entertain me for few months when it goes down in price when Xmas bounds around the corner.

Some peoples stupidity is just ludicrous sometimes, I'd never camp outside a store for around 4 days just to get a game ;_;, I can't even be bothered to go on a launch day let alone sit outside in a tent for 4 days.

what's qing??? Never heard that word.



i hope they have super absorbent adult diapers on lol.

yea they are stupid



This is dumb, you can easily go at midnight or go the day off and get the game if you pre ordered.



maybe they want the freebie and attention that the person at the front of the queue usually gets?

You might be right, like that person who brought iPad in china and people carried him out of the department store like he just cured some mortal illness or something.
